Below is the next “Scratch the Surface” EJ Podcast. EJ has as his guest today Danielle MacDonald. 

EJ says:

Danielle is the lead in a great new independent film called Patti Cake$ (out August 18th in NY and LA). I got to go to an early screening of the film and meet Danielle. I loved the film and her performance in it. I was very impressed that an actress from Australia could play a rapper from New Jersey. Silly me. Well, I thought she did such a great job I wanted to talk to her about it and her life.

We talk about:

• growing up in Australia,
• her decision to pop into acting and how she transitioned into moving to America,
• training and practicing the rapping for months before she filmed the movie,
• working on other projects with actors like Alexander Skarsgård (who got naked in front of her),
• playing Diane Lane’s daughter and how Diane really took Danielle under her wing,
• doing an episode of American Horror Story,
• how she lost a lead role on a TV show because her VISA ran out,
• being on Glee,
• working with Clark Gregg,
• meeting Amy Schumer
• and so much more!!!
