AMANDA DYAR: Are you doing what you’ve always wanted to?

LORYNN YORK: Yes. I have always been a performer. I started with ballet and it lead me into acting.

AMANDA: How hard was it to get into acting though?

LORYNN: It was rough at the start learning to navigate around the business side of things.

AMANDA: Were there a lot of rejections along the way?

LORYNN: Yes. That will never stop. I always have to tell myself that even Oscar winners still get rejected for projects they really want.

AMANDA: Is there one role you really wanted in particular that you didn’t get?

LORYNN: I auditioned for The Gambler and got pretty far in the casting process. It was an amazing script and I'd work alongside Mark Wahlberg. I would have done the movie for free.

AMANDA: How did you get the role in Lifetime’s The Carpenter’s Daughter? Was it an audition?

LORYNN: Yes! It was an audition. I read for the lead as well as my role.

AMANDA: Did it involve doing a chemistry test with anyone?

LORYNN: Nope! I just auditioned once. I went straight to set the next week.

AMANDA: How much like your character are you?

LORYNN: The Opposite. You shall see.

AMANDA: They say TV is where it’s at these days – do you agree?

LORYNN: I one hundred percent agree. Things move a lot faster with TV movies. I have done five TV movies in eighteen months! Pretty cool.
