In an industry crawling with questionable life forms, Carrie Preston is often lauded as the kind of actress whose spark, creativity and professionalism makes the theatrical world a better place. Noted for her role as Arlene Fowler in the HBO series, True Blood, and for her critically acclaimed supporting role in “Duplicity,” she has graced every kind of stage from regional Shakespeare festivals, to On and Off Broadway. In 1994, while playing Ophelia at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival she met her husband, award winning actor, Michael Emerson, who was performing the role of Guildenstern in the same production. They have since performed together in numerous productions including an episode of “Lost” in which Carrie portrayed Michael’s mother during a flashback sequence.
Carrie’s acting career appeared predestined; forming her own theater company when she was 12, she handled the tasks of writer, producer, director, costumer as well as actress. Her early training, including a degree from the prestigious Julliard School, serves her well as she channels her creativity into her own production company, Daisy 3 Pictures, which tackles themes outside the standard mainstream fare, including festival darling, “Ready, OK!” about a young boy’s challenges when he tries to join his Catholic school’s cheer leading squad. She is finishing up touches on her latest feature, “That’s What She Said,” starring Anne Heche.
Carrie’s choices for Daisy 3 Productions reflect her humanitarian interests; among other issues, she and Michael have campaigned on behalf of marriage equality. In our interview with Carrie, she addresses her support for equal rights for everybody.
What do you like most about your career?
I feel fortunate that so far in my career, I have gotten to work on a really diverse range of projects on TV, in film and on stage. I like having the opportunity to play wildly different types of characters. And I enjoy going back and forth between comedy and drama — or playing both at the same time, like in "True Blood."
What do you find most challenging?
It's a challenge for most actors to keep the faith when they are between jobs. I like structure in my life, so when a job ends and nothing is lined up yet, it can be a challenge to stay focused and confident that something else will come along. That's why I started creating my own projects: so that I could have something positive and creatively fulfilling to focus on when I'm not on a traditional paid gig.
