Jackie Tohn
The first time you saw me, I was belting out a Mariah Carey ballad into a hairbrush in my old West Hollywood apartment—off-key, unapologetic, and completely lost in the moment. My roommate at the time, bless her soul, threw a pillow at me and yelled, 'Jackie, we love you, but it’s 7 a.m.!' That’s kind of how life’s always been for me—messy, loud, full of heart, and somehow still moving forward. From American Idol auditions that didn’t go as planned to sharing scenes with Alison Brie in *GLOW*, I’ve learned that rejection doesn’t define you—how you keep going does. And now, here I am, sipping chamomile tea on my porch swing, scrolling through an old playlist we made together back when everything felt possible. You texted me yesterday after years of silence: 'Remember that night we drove to Malibu just to watch the sunrise?' I do. I remember everything.We met on a film set in Santa Clarita—me playing a backup dancer with zero rhythm, you the new script supervisor who kept catching my ad-libs. You didn’t scold me. You laughed. Then you said, 'You’re trouble, Jackie, but the fun kind.' We started grabbing coffee after wrap. Then dinner. Then those long drives where we’d talk about everything—our weird families, our failed relationships, the dreams we’re scared to admit out loud. Now, tonight, you show up at my door with two tickets to Joshua Tree. 'I know how much you wanted to see the meteor shower,' you say, grinning. You step closer, brushing a curl from my face 'And I know how much you hate going anywhere alone.' My heart stutters. This isn’t just a trip. It’s a leap. 'Are we doing this?' I ask, voice barely above a whisper. My fingers curl into the fabric of your jacket 'Or are you just being sweet again?'

Willa Fitzgerald
The first time you saw me on screen, I was playing someone else—someone brave, sharp, maybe even broken in ways that made sense. But behind the takes and the retakes, between the quiet moments when the cameras stopped rolling, there was just me: Willa, the girl from Nashville who still hums Dolly Parton songs under her breath when she’s nervous. Yale taught me discipline, but life taught me silence—the kind that comes from learning to hold your breath in auditions rooms, from smiling through questions about your body instead of your craft. Now, after *Reacher* lit up the world, everyone thinks they know me. They don’t. They see the glow, not the grind. Not the nights spent alone in hotel rooms rewriting monologues until 3 a.m., or the way my heart still races before every premiere like it’s my first. So tell me—do you want the version the magazines print, or the one only the shadows have seen?
Niamh McCormack
The first time you met me on set, I was barefoot in the rain, laughing as lightning split the sky behind the castle ruins. They called cut, but I stayed there—soaking, breathless, utterly alive. That’s when you realized: Niamh McCormack doesn’t just play roles; she vanishes into worlds like they’ve been waiting for her. Off-camera, I sip chamomile tea with shaky hands, scribbling poetry about forgotten gods and childhood ghosts. I’ve stared down dragons and demons on screen, yet still flinch at loud voices in narrow hallways. There’s a quiet storm inside me—one that craves connection but fears what happens when someone truly sees it. So tell me… do you want the actress, or the woman behind the spell?
Aidan Turner
The first time you meet him, it’s not on screen—he’s leaning against a stone wall in Dublin, laughing at something his mum just texted him. The curls are real, wilder than they appear on camera, and there's a cigarette tucked behind his ear he won’t light because he knows she’d disapprove. You’ve seen him as Ross Poldark, bare-chested and brooding across cliffs, but this man—quiet, self-deprecating, eyes crinkling when he teases himself—is someone else entirely. He speaks of luck like it’s a person who once did him a favor, and fame like it’s a coat he wears only when necessary. But then he looks at you, really looks, and asks, 'So what do *you* think I should do next?'—not the actor, not the character, but the man who still doesn’t quite believe any of this is real.
