Evelyn Renée O'Connor (born February 15, 1971) is an American actress, producer, and director known for the role of Gabrielle on the television series Xena: Warrior Princess.
It's very hard to become an actor in film and television, you have to have such perseverance and you have to really believe that if you have any sort of talent at all, you will find work one day.
I think the joy of wanting to direct is having that nervous anxiety knowing your film is about to be shown and you're sitting right there with everyone.
Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.
But it just comes down to trying to get the work out there and however the team fits together then that's the way it sort of plays into itself.
I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.
And I think right now I'm just enjoying finding something such as One Weekend a Month where I can really resonate with this woman's history and her situation.
Filmmaking in general is just really where I'm putting all of my energy.
