The graceful blonde actress talks about fleshing out her character Ellie O’Hara, the girlfriend of Danny Greene (note: see Linda Cardellini in the role of Joan Madigan, Danny Greene’s wife).

She points out that, “When I first arrived, John (Writer/Director Jonathan Hensleigh) and I had a meeting and discussed who this girl really was, they don’t really know about her much at all.”

This discussion evolved into her character’s relationship with Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson) about which she says that their time together was some of the only time in which Danny could “open up” and “be excited about life.”

She also mentions working with Ray Stevenson saying, “Ray a great energy to be around” and clals him a generous and wonderful actor.” She provides insight into her experience working on the set of ‘The Irishman’ saying, “we all sort of collaborte and dicuss what we’ll do from scene to scene. Nothing is set in stone and that is the most amazing way to work anyways.”
