Dominique Provost-Chalkley Interview
Q: The series has certainly fired up the fans…
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: It has, hasn’t it! I can’t quite believe how much but I’m very very happy that everyone is responding so well.
Q: How did you get involved?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: Obviously I’m from the UK, and I have a manager that’s in the US who sends me auditions every now and again. Wynonna came up in my inbox. I had a little read of the script, loved it, and I put myself on tape with my friend. Of course you never in a million years think that from a self tape in my bedroom something is going to hit.
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: A few months later I got a phone call saying “Could you read for the sister?” I obviously thought that Wynonna had gone but they asked me to read for Waverly, and when the script came through I just knew that it was way more suited to me.
Of course I put a lot of work in, and did a second tape, then I got a phone call from them saying that they loved what I did and [showrunner] Emily [Andras] would love to meet me. Would I come to Toronto? They rang me the same day, which has never happened to me before – so I think something aligned that day, and I was very fortunate. I get to play the lovely Waverly.
Q: What did Emily tell you upfront about her? Obviously she has changed across the series, but there are certain core elements to her that have been constant.
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: Absolutely. Emily spoke to me about Waverly as the heart of the show. The bubbly comic relief was how they pitched her originally, but I think the greatest gift that they’ve given me in the series is how much she evolved as a character, how many different layers you find out about Waverly as you go through. I’m not entirely sure if they had had that as an idea before they started or if that came into the writers’ room as we went along, but I fell in love with Waverly straightaway.
Q: How much of the #Wayhaught relationship were you aware of going in?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: Honestly? I didn’t have a clue that Waverly was going to be bisexual/bi-curious at all! I’d already come to Calgary, and we’d just shot the pilot and then the second episode came in. I read this amazing scene with Nicole coming into the bar and I sent Emily an email straightaway – it must have been ten o’clock at night, I was reading the script in bed – and I said, “Oh my goodness whoever wrote in that Waverly is bisexual/bi-curious is an absolute genius”.
Q: From talking to her, she said they only had 5 scripts written before starting shooting, so the developments we’ve seen – such as the scene in last week’s episode and everything that built up to that – very much came out of how it looked on film…
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: Exactly, yes. That’s something that I have learned from doing Wynonna – Emily has told me that they see the chemistry as they go, they look at different people on screen and see how they work together, and change the script and storylines from that.
That’s really inspirational, because that means they’re working with us, and seeing what works and what doesn’t as we go. Kudos to them that they can do that so well and seamlessly, and I think that’s what makes it such a special series. You really see the characters that do genuinely connect.
Q: What was the biggest challenge for you?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: That’s a good question… The biggest challenge was probably the cold. I have to say it was very chilly sometimes there, certainly in the outdoors scenes. I had to combat that, and not try and think about that when I was acting – and of course doing the accent on top of that in the cold! It was rather difficult to articulate some of the words when your mouth feels like it’s frozen solid.
Q: What was the best part of it for you?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: I think developing a character that has such a journey – it’s my first experience of that – and being able to be so collaborative with Emily and the other actors. I learned a great deal from Melanie Scrofano – the way that she works opened my eyes to a slightly different technique in acting.
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: She is probably one of the most organic actors that I’ve ever worked with. She likes to find it in that moment – she hardly likes to rehearse at all, or pre-empt anything. She likes to really see what happens as we go, and I find that so inspirational because that is taking away the fear of doing it wrong.
Q: In the hope of a second year, are there certain things that you’d like to see Waverly do or have happen to her?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: I was thinking about this the other day because Emily asked me the same question. We’re so lucky we have a showrunner who cares so much about us as people as well as actors. She was saying, “if we go a second season, I’d love to take you out for a coffee and discuss where you’d like to see Waverly go and what you’d like to bring out of her.”
I think I’d love to explore her darker side a little bit more – and what I meant by that is she’s incredibly brave. I think that is one of the characteristics that I love about Waverly the most. Underneath all the insecurities and the bubbly crazy character that she is, she is the only one of the team that doesn’t have much experience in the field and doesn’t have any superpowers as such
Q: It sounds like you could have a lot of fun with that…
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: It does, doesn’t it! That’s exactly it – as an actor you just want to do it all, so I feel that we’ve established Waverly’s very extremely likeable side, and her bubbly side but I would love to see her explore a little darker flavour… and of course explore Wayhaught and where we can go with that. That’s exciting.
Q: What else are you doing?
Dominique Provost-Chalkley: I’ve just moved to Toronto, and am just auditioning at the moment and moving my life around. It’s a lot of work moving – sorting out taxes and all that sort of malarkey. I’m in a bit of a period of transition but all’s going well. Obviously we’re hoping for a second season but we shall see!
