I have so much respect for the way she has played Alexis’ growth over the past seasons. The show COULD have been a one trick pony, but the depth she and her fellow artists have given their characters is so, so special. I think Annie in particular portrayed Alexis’ transition from being passive aggressive to actually using her ability to couch words in order to be kind and protect the feelings of those around her so, so beautifully.
Princess Agatha Absolutely! I posted above that it would be so easy to hate Alexis, that she could be a stereotypical, obnoxious twit. But Murphy gives her a vulnerability that is so touching. Watching her grow up has been so cool, and you can’t help but root for her. Ted was the first thing in her life that she wanted and couldn’t immediately have (season 4).
Hard agree. Her character has the most growth and the show was written perfectly. It could have just been a parody of socialites. But it has heart. Seriously perfect show.
sorry but after reading the word “pony” in your comment, all I could think of was Jake and Stevie 😆hahah
i know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Axton Lionel Instablaster :)
She has been fantastic in her role. It's one of those shows that you can't imagine anyone else playing their characters
The crazy thing is Alexis was almost played by someone else. They had Abby Elliott, Chris Elliott's daughter, originally in mind and in the pilot that they showed to TV networks she actually played Alexis. However, when it got picked up by CBC, she couldn't commit due to scheduling conflicts, so they reopened their casting process and the rest is history.
Watching SC obviously gives you a good idea of Annie Murphy's acting talents, but when you see her just being herself, you realize she's on another level to be able to bring out Alexis like she does.
THIS. Yes.
HONESTLY!! she's SO good!!
Completely. I didn’t know of her before this and when I saw her interviews after the show, it made me love her even more and really look at the character a lot more. She’s fantastic
I never will tire of "A Little Bit Alexis".
She has the legs to play the next Superwoman but, But her SMILE and facial expressions are brilliant.. Has anyone ever thought of her as the first female Joker!? She has a bright future in sketch comedy; Ashame, she wasn't in SNL or MAD TV..
If you haven't heard the dance version, you must! its actually a very good song!
It’s literally on all of my playlists
Annie Murphy is absolutely brilliant in Schitt's Creek and she has been able to telegraph her character's development in the most incredibly subtle ways, sometimes with just a glance or the tone of her voice. A friend of mine at work kept bugging me to watch this show and I am so glad I finally did! Now I am in love with this show and everyone in the cast and I will miss it when the final season ends. Much luck to her on the next chapter of her career...it will certainly be nothing less than fantastic!
dcjimr1 so true omg couldn’t of said it barter , she’s such a good actress I hope she moves on to bigger things
I love the way that her and Dan crafted themselves as siblings…you can see it in the hand gestures, the way they communicate, or not, brilliant work.
Her interviews are so much better one on one. With Dan and Eugene part of interviews she doesn’t have a voice. She seems nervous and has a hard time finding a place to speak. It’s just nice to hear her flesh out her character and have a voice without someone talking over her or finishing what she’s trying to say.
Yes, I was so excited to see this one on one with Annie. It’s the same with Catherine. Dan and Eugene dominate the interviews most of the time but I love hearing from the girls.
YES ! It is so frustrating because every time I watch the four of them give an interview, Dan is always speaking and you almost never hear Annie. In a 50 minutes interview she'll be talking for maybe 5 minutes ...
I remember being in a coffee house here in Toronto and Annie walked in with some other people and this was early on maybe after season 1 or 2 and I looked at her and did that "I know you from somewhere" thing. She smiled and all I could blurt out was "You're Alexis on Schitts Creek". (I've never been good at remembering names and when under pressure when face to face it is worse) To which she answered yes and smiled as I said how much I loved the show. I can't imagine anyone else would have brought so much to the character of Alexis as she has. She is fantastic. And I kind of love that Tom and Annie are buds. Two awesome people. Thanks for this.
I am watching this interview and actually seeing the difference between Canadian and American actors and Tom Power, man what a nice guy. The modesty and unpretentiousness are evident.
I freaken love her real voiiiiiiccceee 😍😍😍😍
It’s so soulful 🙀
annie has a special gift for physicality, IMO. not a lot of comics can do this, you def have to be brave. i am amazed by her talent esp when paired with eugene and catherine the greats!
Alex Ruland. Ewww day-vehd ewww
I completely agree. I sometimes like to listen to television shows while I'm on a walk or doing the dishes (just audio), but I can't really do that for SC because I miss all the hilarious little looks and facial expressions that Annie gives. Even when she doesn't have a line, she is fully immersed and engaged in the scenes.
@@kinrowdlily i personally could never do that with most of the shows i watch because i'm just an immersive person when it comes to media, tv/movies specifically. i could def do that w/ youtube but i gotta catch every look or glance or close up that might say something about the future plot. that being said, i totally agree w/ what you said about annie. even without lines, her facial expressions and little t-rex hands say it all!
She has the legs to play the next Superwoman but, But her SMILE and facial expressions are brilliant.. Has anyone ever thought of her as the first female Joker!? She has a bright future in sketch comedy; Ashame, she wasn't in SNL or MAD TV..
@@rrpearsall mad tv doesn't exist anymore and hasn't for a minute. she's canadian so if she wanted to go that route she could have been part of second city.
super hero movies are way too hollywood.
She's such a sweet kind person and so funny. Hope to see her more of Annie in the future
FABULOUS series - totally addicted. Thank you and love from the UK. PS Canadians are sooooo cool.
Abigail McKern we are like a subtle blend of our cousins across the pond and the ones to the south. The cold and mosquitos makes us funny
I love the show, Annie was outstanding as Alexis!! The chemistry between all of them is amazing. Annie and Dan just make it happen and make it look effortless. So sad to see it end, then there’s always La La LaLalala la a little bit Alexiss
I only got into the series last October, but it's become one of my all-time favourites. Sad to see it go but happy it's going out on a high. Everyone involved is a master of their craft. A truly special show.
I've watched the show since it started airing and it's going out strong. This was a lovely interview with Annie; congratulations to her and all of her colleagues on a great series.
I love her so much, she's one that u just root for and I hope to see her in the future.
also in my fantasy she gets an Emmy nomination this year for her work and that opens a lot of doors for her
"La la la a lil bit Alexis"...omg golden!!
I love her and Alexis too and all her little character quirks, booping those she loves, loving the journeys, thanking people who insult her, going mmm hmm, mmm hmm, mmm hmmm, when she’s nervous, the drooping hands, the hair pulling, the expression of “David!” and of course, “Ew, David!” and all her extreme stories of her past. The fact that she contributed to writing A Little Bit Alexis and choreographed the dance of it, Oh My God, she’s brilliant! She’s so, so lovely to watch.
The character development and interaction on this show is brilliant. Very well done program.
Annie is AMAZING as Alexis. The entire cast is flawless ♡
They made me feel as if I am apart of there family. Wonderful show!
So gracious, so humble, so talented. Just adore Annie Murphy. Will miss here on SC. Cannot wait to see what she does next!!
Been a fan of the show since day 1, been a pleasure watching the characters develop. So proud of Canadian actors like Annie adding class to sitcoms.
I just love her :) I binged watch schitts creek in one week
Such a great show due to their incredible chemistry with Dan and talent. She is extraordinary as Alexis and love how she interacts with everyone. She has such depth and personality and brings a very genuine talent to this role. Nobody could have done this part like she did. Good luck, Annie!
She is great and this is a great interview.
Annie you are a shining star:) I bet a million bucks you are already in High Demand:) Anyone would be damn lucky to have you:) You are so funny:) and much more :) can't. wait to what is yet to come:).
One thing that make this show famous is her, I mean, hello, "EWWWW DAVID" is so phenomenal, like the way she say it on the show is so Alexis then there is "a little bit Alexis" dance step which is so adorable and so so so funny.
Annie, LOVE your ditzy character. I will So miss the series!!! Each character is BRILLIANT. You make me belly laugh every week! When Alexis was generous during the Caberet episodes, I fell in love with you even more. Best of luck in your career, you deserve it.
Very few shows have had the chemistry of this show. And almost none have writing this good. Great show - it will be missed but I will watch re-runs relentlessly (like I have been doing for the past 1½ year
Great, honest interview. I hope some smart production picks her up. She deserves it.
Best show ever, totally obsessed with these characters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant actor, brilliant show! I'm looking forward to whatever comes next from Annie Murphy.
it is the Best show ever:) I'm in love with every character:) so good:)
OTTAWA GIRL.. we all love you for making us feel good about being here now... love you ANNIE 100% .. great acting, beautiful woman*
Annie you are so great actor. I love the interview. When the last reason came out I was trying to watch the shows one show in a time. I didn’t want to runout and watch the whole last reason In one day lol. Sometimes l was watching two or three episodes in one day that’s how much I love the show and mostly the characters. I love you so much Annie. I’m sending you blessings I know next time I’ll see you it will be in a great show. Take care. 🤗
The whole last season isnt even out yet tho lol it's still coming on tv only like 2 episodes are out?
@@danielleriggins6000 last season = previous season
@@danielleriggins6000 The 14 episodes of season 6 are on PopTv.
It’s been a fun ride with this show. Love it.
So fun watching this series. You will forever make me try and imitate you and make laugh when I think about this sitcom. It was great.
I loved this show so much. Annie Murphy is awesome. I can't wait to see her on other things.
Annie seems super chill and grounded
I love this interview. She nailed it with this character and such a soft sweet soul
Such a lovely young woman. I loved her as Alexis
Great interview! Love Annie and the whole Schitt's Creek cast.
❤️her and the show. it’s truly the show of a lifetime
Dan has to write another show, something just as brilliant, no pressure. Cast Annie and Catherine for sure.
I love you so much Annie! At first I hated Alexis and then she became my favorite character, you bring so much range to someone who seemed so shallow. And that song is THE BOMB
As I’ve been in this limbo period in the UK before I can watch the last series (April 2020 I think) I’ve not touched Schitt’s Creek for a while but this has just filled me with love all over again. Nothing else comes close in being a TV-based Well-being Generator.
Urgh! The wait is AWFUL!!
So happy to see an interview with you! You deserve so much more exposure for your character. I watch the show daily, I love re-watching the episodes and seeing things I may have overlooked. This show will forever be my favorite show, it has touched me in so many ways and although I am so sad it is ending I wish nothing but prosperity for you on your future projects. Also, LOVED that clip from Season 5, probably one of the best Alexis scenes haha
Lol Annie smiled at me when I saw her at the Toronto Pride Parade
Gargoyle Cat Aww! I would love to meet her.
Oh no, she's panders?
Gargoyle Cat Ewww, Gargoyle!
She is a great actress. I hope she continues to be successful and all of her dreams come true.
Lovely interview as always, Tom. I'm really going to miss this show
@Donna Peroche aaannd this is exactly the kind of hatred/behavior that wouldn't be allowed on Schitt's Creek. The series is about love and acceptance.
One of the best tv series I have ever seen!
Schitts creek is a bloody masterpiece
So glad she got the part. She was so good in that role!
Loved loved loved her charater!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Her voice is so much more baritone than on the show. She seems super thoughtful and sweet.
Love this show. Love her too.
Oh god Annie plays Alexis perfectly!
I always laugh when I hear "eww, David!"
Annie Murphy is a Canadian National Treasure!
I always felt that if I ran into Annie Murphy on the street, and after complimenting her on her gorgeous legs, I'd expect a lot of Alexis to come out of her. Listening to her in this interview, and hearing the real Annie Murphy, I realize how much of a character Alexis Rose really is. Great job, Annie and thank you for six seasons of wonderful laughs. Alexis is my favourite character on the show!
yeah i think when asked who is least like their character the cast def answered annie. she's so far from the character.
I just love her🌸 great interview
Why did Schitt's Creek end any way? I love the show.
Alexis Character is the best. We watched her evolve from a pampered rich girl into a beautiful caring sweet young woman.
agreed
All things must pass.
Omg admitting she’s stealing merchandise what a girl love her for it
Annie Murphy was perfect in Schitts Creek.
Going to miss this show
That's a talented interviewer. Congratulations, Tom Power!
Netflix people 😝. I watched it on POP from day one! I remember seeing Eugene on the first teaser ad and I was in.
how awesome is annie.
She is just excellent as Alexis. It would be so easy for Alexis to be an absolutely awful, stereotypical character that is just impossible to tolerate. Instead, she displays a vulnerability that makes one connect with her.
and bring hilariousness and warmth to the otherwise outlandish and mostly fancy stories of lifestyle.
Thank you Annie for this wonderful show!
I'm surmch a big Alexis fan! Still I kept noticing this guy's voice and it's too soothing
Love her ..the best!! Hilarious
Great cast and great show! Love it! 🔥
Tom Power is a fantastic interviewer/journalist
Dude is great at interviewin
, yes I thought so too:)
She's awesome.
Seems like she for sure belonged there. I’m glad things didn’t work out in the beginning for that reason!! 💝 When she said it was real emotion and she felt like it wasn’t professional I was like noway hosay! That’s how it’s sposta be I’d say. 😁 what a lovely soul. And I’ve never seen this podcast. He for sure asked the right questions. Impressive 😄
She is the break out star. 😍
He is a fabulous interviewer
It's so weird hearing her in a normal voice 😂
Alexis/Annie Murphy gets less credit than the other characters but she is my favorite 💜
GREAT SHOW !!!
I really think sense the show blew up after it ended they should consider a spin off or a return . i need it.
LOVE THIS!!!!
I wish I could buy all 6 seasons on dvd.
shes an amazing woman
I'll be sad when we don't see her every week.
Alexis started as my least favourite character and became my favourite by the end
Liked them all from the beginning, except "Roland" (Chris Elliott). I had to get used to him.
She is such a cutie.
Canadians don't really care about homosexuality vs heterosexuality. We care about good people being able to be themselves and everyone else staying the hell out of our business. That's why Harry moved here and it's why many celebrities like it here.
I can't wait to see her do a completely different role, because she can.
Goddess!!!
Omg dolly Parton is so talented. Love her
Did I miss something in the finale? Did we not see that scene she describes around 12:00 between her and Dan Levy, sobbing, “going through therapy”?
Yeah I have no idea what she was talking about
I'm sure it was carefully edited because, as she said, the scene didnt call for snotty crying! I would guess she means that they were crying and losing it outside of when they really needed to be serious for the scene.
Watch the documentary that followed the finale! It shows her and Dan breaking down while they were filming and finished filming their last scene.
♡
Is calling people "bud" a Canadian anglo (kind of white) thing to say? Or do Americans say that too? I've been noticing more and more people say this in Canada but I'm in the French speaking part so it's diff here. Also, she says "2 of her boyfriends", like poly?
Bud isn't as widespread a thing to call someone in the US as it seems to be in Canada, but I heard it occasionally in New York (North Country/Adirondacks) and Vermont. Since moving to Seattle, I've heard it rarely.
@@jameskieley497 Yep, I grew up in Upstate NY and Vermont -- very common. Live in Portland OR now and never hear it.
I think by "2 of her boyfriends" she means 2 of her friends that are guys, like how it's common for women to call their female friends their "girlfriends"
I think she meant it generally but she WAS referring to her husband of nine years and his bandmate/her ex-boyfriend (so it actually was two of her boyfriends in this case). I listened to a podcast with Annie and her husband and they explained the story and it says a lot about the people they are that they are all still so close!
Oh Annie March 2020 is not going to be great.
Finally a pretty girl who doesn't use Botox, you can see face expression which is pure and nature 👍🏻
She’s right about the Netflix take off of viewers nobody watches CBC ‘s horrible shows that Canadian tax payers are forced to pay only time we watch CBC is still for hockey but they’re getting faded out that as well
Why is she talking normally suddenly?🙄
