If you’ve caught any of Revenge, you’ll no doubt be truly hooked into the plot by now as the Hamptons’ richest get embroiled in lies, deception and, of course, murder.
The star of the show Emily VanCamp is the cover star of Nylon’s September Fall Fashion issue, who talks about her big break on the show.
“They could’ve hired someone with a bigger name and banked on that,” she tells the magazine. “They took a chance on me, and it’s brought on a whole new collection of opportunities.”
VanCamp is currently dating her British co-star Josh Bowman, though she doesn’t seem to enjoy the extra attention it brings, especially from the paparazzi. “It should be illegal for people to stalk you with cameras,” she says. “It’s really invasive. How do you enjoy a moment? I see how people spiral out of control.”
Before Revenge, she was most notably known for her roles in Everwood and Brothers & Sisters. She says that she only takes roles she feels passionate about, rather than what she thinks may bring her success.
“I felt like I was stuck in a rut playing the same thing,” she admits. “I promised myself after leaving [Brothers & Sisters] that I would only do something that made me happy, that excited me, that was different. I wasn’t going to compromise my creative integrity just for money, or to stay relevant.”
