Interview with Mollee Gray
Glitter Magazine recently sat down with bubbly sweetheart, Mollee Gray, who reprises her role as the lovable Giggles, in the upcoming Disney Channel movie, Teen Beach 2, to discuss her dancing career, her past with So You Think You Can Dance, her new singles, her favorite outdoor activity, and her plans for the summer.
GLITTER: How did you get into acting?
MOLLEE: My mom was a theatre kid, so for as long as I can remember she was putting me in vocal, acting and dance classes!
GLITTER: Do you think your dance background has helped you land acting gigs?
MOLLEE: Oh absolutely! My first big movie, No Strings Attached, with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman was because I could dance. After they saw me, the director, Ivan Reitman, asked if I could come in and read for a role!
GLITTER: Are you working on any new songs? Where can we find your other songs?
MOLLEE: I’m always writing and coming up with material! You can find my two singles, “You Don’t Know Anything” and “Wasted,” on iTunes!
GLITTER: What has been your favorite guest role so far and why?
MOLLEE: I really liked playing ‘Sari’ in “No Strings Attached.” She was a very quirky, silly character, which was so fun to play!
GLITTER: Who do you play on the upcoming Disney Channel movie, Teen Beach 2?
MOLLEE: I play GIGGLES!
GLITTER: What was it like performing the song, “Gotta Be Me” with the cast of Teen Beach 2 on this season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars?
MOLLEE: It was such a cool feeling! That was the first time we performed anything from the movie for a live audience, it was just amazing!
GLITTER: Are you like your character in any way?
MOLLEE: Yes, of course! I love to be on the beach and in the sun as much as possible!
GLITTER: What can you tell us about the Lifetime movie, Double Daddy? Who do you play? When does it air?
MOLLEE: Double Daddy premiered on Lifetime, June 6th! The movie focuses on my character, Amanda, and her struggle with her boyfriend cheating on her and becoming a mom.
GLITTER: What performer do you hope to sing with someday?
MOLLEE: It would be a DREAM to perform with Sam Smith.
GLITTER: What is your favorite outdoor activity?
MOLLEE: Rollerblading!!
GLITTER: What advice do you have for teens who won’t dance at a school dance because they think their dancing is too awkward?
MOLLEE: Being awkward is okay!! I have been a dancer my whole life, and still feel awkward dancing at dances or events! Just have fun and be you, and everyone will want to join in!
GLITTER: Do you have any hidden talents?
MOLLEE: I’m really talented at making silly/ugly faces, haha!
GLITTER: Do you have any plans for the summer?
MOLLEE: This whole summer, on my days off, I will be at my pool or in the ocean!
