Rebecca Finer plays "Amy Howard" on Palmetto

1) What was the attraction of doing this series?
For me the attraction to this series was definitely when I read about the role of Amy. It reminded me so much of who I was at that ae in highschool and I was so interested to explore what I could make this character. I also loved how real the show was and how real the characters conflicts and stories are.

2) What makes PALMETTO different from any other teen drama you’ve seen?
It is sincere. The problems of the characters, their lives, are realistic, and they are all good people at heart.

3) What are the challenges of playing a character coming from a small town?
Well I am from Orlando and I honestly know nothing about what it is like to come from or live in a small town so I really have to do character research to be able to identify with that.

4) Without giving too much away, can you talk about your character?
She is stubborn and determined and not afraid to say what she means.

5) How do you prepare for your scenes? What do you do to get “into character?”
I just put myself in her place. I become the character I think of how I feel, how she must feel and I bring them together, I become Amy.

6) Without giving too much away, what has been your favorite scene to shoot?
Homecoming, I loved all the decorations!

7) Is there any advice, wisdom, or comments your character would like to give the fans?
Be who you are and follow your dreams, or you’ll never know what could have been!
