I am very happy to introduce Shamron Moore who has a lead part in the new
film Zombie Strippers with Robert Englund and Jenna Jameson. The synopsis
of the movie from the official site is as follows:
When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the
reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is Rhino's, a hot
underground strip club. As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns
into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the
club. Do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star
stripper, even if there is no turning back?
Now on to Shamron Moore!
Damon: Zombie Strippers seems to be the largest roll you have had so far in a feature film, how much work is it holding one of the lead parts? Can you tell us the funniest thing that happened on set while filming Zombie Strippers?
Damon: Being cast as "a hot actress" sure is not a bad thing, but can
you tell us a little bit about your hobbies outside of work? What are some of
your favorite films? Are there any actresses/actors and/or directors you like to
work with in the future?
Shamron: Having interests outside of acting is very important
because there can be a lot of down time. I love keeping busy with traveling,
swimming, socializing with my friends, reading, and watching movies, of course.
The list of people I'd pretty much sell my soul to work with could stretch for
about fifty yards; basically any director or actor associated with "Goodfellas"
or "Pulp Fiction".
Damon: Tell us a little bit about growing up in Flint, Michigan, did
you always want to be an actress, how did you get started in the field?
Shamron: Growing up, I was always a ham, but I didn't always
think about being an actress, at least not in the beginning. Being a gymnast or
figure skater really intrigued me when I was a child, I watched hours upon hours
of those competitions on TV. After growing out of that phase, though, I started
to really become obsessed with Old Hollywood, that old school glamour that Rita
Hayworth and Ava Gardner had. I packed up my car and--having never set foot out
West or knowing anybody in that area--drove out to L.A. using money I had from a
Cadillac ad I shot in Detroit. Nothing against Michigan, I just always wanted to
be a California girl.
Damon: Two part question, to satisfy both the ladies and the men, how
was it working with Jenna Jameson and did you get to meet Tito Ortiz?
Shamron: Working with Jenna was a positive experience, she's a very
chill chick. I like her take-no-bull kind of attitude. Although Tito has a small
cameo in the film as a bouncer at Rhino's, we didn't work with each other that
day.
Damon: Would you classify Zombie Strippers as a grindhouse movie or
schlock? How was it working on a film that was both horror and comedy at the
same time? How hard is it as an actress to be able to switch gears when
necessary to maintain believability in both genres?
"Zombie Strippers" is definitely more grindhouse than schlock. It's an
exploitation film in every sense, full of nudity, gore, and impossible mayhem.
Given the over-the-top nature of the film, it was very easy to incorporate
comedy in the mix; it's absolutely impossible to take some of the scenarios
seriously, and if one does, well, then there's a problem!
Damon: Also how did horror vet Robert Englund lend his expertise to the
film?
Working with Robert was great, as well. His Ian Essko is deliciously devilish.
Before I had met him, I had no idea how many decades he had under his belt in
the industry. He's a very diverse guy, always full of fun stories about his
experiences.
Damon: Jay Lee adds many jokes and jabs into the plot of the movie,
did he ever have to explain any of them to the actors and actresses, because
they were so subtle?
There were definitely a few references that went over my head, I can't speak for
others. I've never read Rhinoceros, the play that Jay Lee based the film on, so
occasionally he would have to explain a few points.
Damon: Izzy Legit, how is work coming on this film and is there
anything you can tell us about it? Can you tell us about any future
projects you are working on?
Brad Milne asked me to help him out by playing the small role of a doctor in
Izzy Legit. That was about two months ago, and I'm not really up to speed on how
things have progressed.
Damon: Why should we all go out and watch Zombie Strippers?
Shamron:
Zombie Strippers" is an insane blend of blood, broads, and the
extent that people will go to in order to fit in; really, now, what
can be more Hollywood than that?
Special Thanks to Shamron for taking time out of her schedule to answer our questions.
