Samantha Bogach talks about her role on Days Of Our Lives

Samantha Bogach 

on her recurring role on 

Days of Our Lives

Q: Can you describe the role you played?

S: The audience is introduced to “Lucy” in the hospital after she had a traumatic experience at a party. I tend to play roles with a type of heaviness surrounding them. It’s clear “Lucy” is a strong woman but has been put in a situation in which her strength was tested. 

Q: How was the audition process, and how did you prepare?

S: The audition was a very pleasant one despite some dark aspects of the script. Marnie Saitta is a wonderful casting director! She doesn’t allow an assistant or camera man in the audition room so she reads with the actors herself. I find it difficult to prepare for a scene in which the role I’m playing has been “traumatized”, because everyone reacts differently to extreme situations. There is no right or wrong way to emote being the victim of an inhumane situation. I cleared my head, imagined this really happened to me, and went in to read the scene. When it was over Marnie had tears in her eyes, so I knew it went well!

Q: Are Soap Opera’s something you’d be interested doing long-term?

S: I love to act, so whenever the opportunity arises I will act. Some of my favorite actors/actresses have started out on soaps and I’m honored to be following in their footsteps! It seems to be a solid step for most actors who have experience and training on stage, which is my case.

Q: How do you feel about transitioning from stage to film?

S: I’m never “transitioned”; That would mean I was once something specific and am now something else specific. My job is to not be specific, but rather to identify with all art forms, including and especially the human psyche. I will always be a stage actress at heart! I strongly believe that acting on stage is the most vital prerequisite for acting on camera. I love cinema as it is the evolution of stage, and has the capability to project more intricately on a mass scale. It carries the opportunity for greatness and I truly hope it starts heading back in that direction soon.
