Lana Parrilla (Full Podcast Interview): From Once Upon a Time to The Rainmaker and more.

This week, Tommy is joined by Lana Parrilla on the “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast! You know and love Lana from playing some powerful women throughout her impressive career, including one of my favorites, the Evil Queen in Once Upon a Time. And Lana is showing the world once again that she is a force to be reckoned with in her new series, The Rainmaker, which is out right now. Today, Lana opens up about playing a brassy and ballsy character like Bruiser in her new series, why she most relates to this character from her entire body of work, the life lesson she learned through her audition process for this role, what the challenges of living and working in a different country for six months are like, what she does to create a “home” wherever she lives for work, the dance parties that happened on her off days, if she really would do a Once Upon a Time reboot of some sort, the last time she watched Once, how playing The Evil Queen healed relationships in her personal life, the scenes she would show a Once Upon a Time newbie of hers if they only had a few minutes, which character of hers she would want to be neighbors with, what’s on her Bruiser playlist, what character of hers she would want to revisit, what advice she would give to her future self, what she has never said before, and so much more.
