Sofia Black-d'elia Gossip Girl Fashion Show

Afterwards spilling some details on her new bear witness, "The Mick," the star dedicated her hometown.

For a multifariousness of millennial-aged binge-watchers, Sofia Black-D'Elia'south face isn't exactly "new." You've seen her on Gossip Girl equally the bratty teen girl of Serena's older fellow. In Project Almanac, she's playing around with time travel. Then she hopped in a cab on The Nighttime Of, did drugs with the driver, and, well...things ended upwards pretty desperately for all parties involved. Yes, Sofia Blackness-D'Elia's face is definitely ane you've seen before.

But now it'due south time to get to know her, know her, put a name to that face, and learn more about that Bailiwick of jersey girl who's trying her hand at one-act—and totally succeeding. Sofia'due south new show, The Mick (which too stars It'southward Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Kaitlin Olson), was just renewed for season two. Then before this gal hits superstardom, here's what she has to say about life, laughs, and, of course, her hometown.

On working with Kaitlin Olson:

"I was a huge fan. I had never done comedy before, so I was by and large concerned with keeping up with her and not letting my inexperience prove. I definitely felt a connection to her. It felt easy and fun correct off the bat. We similar each other as people, which I retrieve helps a lot in comedy, because nosotros trust each other. And she's taught me so much already. It'southward been such a joy."

What information technology's like doing a comedy:

"It's virtually trusting your gut, and non being afraid to exist an idiot and fall flat on your face. Nosotros talk almost this a lot on our show—y'all don't want to be the actor who knows they're in a one-act. I try to take things equally seriously every bit Sabrina would in the moment and permit somebody else decide if it's funny or not."

On playing "bitchy" characters:

"I think what makes Sabrina so terrible is that she doesn't call back she'south a bitch at all. She thinks she's doing everybody a favor, and that's hilarious to me. I know girls like that, who will tell you something awful about yourself and feel similar they're beingness martyrs. You should know your hair looks terrible like that, or you should sympathize it's embarrassing that you're unfamiliar with this topic of chat. Now you lot'll get home and learn about it, and I gave that souvenir to you."

How she feels when people bash New Jersey:

"I think they've never been there. They offset talking nigh [New Jersey] and you're like, 'So, where [in Jersey] have yous been?' and they're similar, 'Oh no, I never actually go at that place.' And you lot're like, 'So shut the fuck up.' That's my reaction—shut the fuck upwardly. Some of the all-time restaurants on the East Coast are in Jersey, because that'south where immigrants moved when New York was too expensive. So if you lot want to know what existent America looks like, go to northern New Jersey and hang out with, like, a million different cultures. It was such an amazing childhood, and people should finish knocking it."

If she'd draw herself as bad-mannered:

"It's weird when everyone says they're awkward because really awkward people don't desire to talk nigh it. Some actresses are like, 'I'm so real, I'grand simply similar you, I'm so awkward and weird.' Information technology'south like, 'No, you're beautiful and rich and you're doing fine.' I'm also not proverb I'm beautiful and rich [laughs], but I'm just not as put-together every bit some of those characters are. I'm insecure and vulnerable and shit gets to me, and Sabrina is tough as nails. That is not similar me at all."

On her belief in the paranormal:

"I've experienced paranormal activeness. When Ginny [Gardner] and I were in a hotel [for Projection Almanac], there were things—noises and things—happening that were absolutely terrifying. And anybody who thinks it wasn't real, that doesn't think that stuff exists, it just hasn't happened to you yet."

Later hearing about Riz Ahmed'due south crazy sex scenes on Girls :

"I hope that's what he becomes known for. Not a smashing actor—just rent him for weird sex scenes [laughs]. He'due south so talented. That'southward another guy who'due south been at it for forever and putting in great work for years. Now people finally know who he is, and he's like, 'Yeah, I've been doing it this whole fourth dimension.' I recollect when y'all dearest what you lot practice and you lot care well-nigh it very much, that kind of stuff always happens. He deserves it."
