Entertainment Spotlight: Jacqueline Scislowski , Power Rangers Beast Morphers
If you’re a fan of the Power Rangers Beast Morphers on Nickelodeon, you may recognize Jacqueline Scislowski as Zoey Reeves, aka the Yellow Ranger . Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, she began acting at the age of 3. She fell in love with acting during the filming of her first student film Marlin and has since then worked on over 40 film, television, and video projects. To further her skills, Jacqueline trained in stunts and action, which her with her audition for Power Rangers and ultimately landed her the role. In addition to acting, she modeled for companies such as American Girl, One Step Ahead and Kohl’s. She loves spending her spare time in gymnastics, dancing, kickboxing, traveling, soccer, cooking, yoga, improv and hanging with friends. We got the chance to ask her a few questions. Check it out:
Can you take us through a typical day on set?
A typical day on set was a 5am pick up, straight to hair and makeup, then to costume/wardrobe, grab a quick breakfast, and straight to set for a lines read/walkthrough! After the director and DP walk through all their shots, we step off for 30 seconds, get mic’d up and go back on set for a blocking rehearsal, finally it’s filming time! This is pretty much the pattern as we move on to other scenes. At 12pm is lunch for 45 minutes, where I usually go take a nap in the sun, and then back to work! There’s always joking around, teasing, and the classic castmate banter, plus each day is always a little bit different so it is never ever dull! Next, my FAVORITE time of day - Afternoon Tea – aka afternoon snack- which was usually the best pastries or carrot cake! At 6pm we wrap on filming! At this point we usually go back to the makeup trailer, take off all our makeup, and jam out to some tunes to unwind.
If you could give any character on the show a spinoff series, who would you choose and what would the show be called?
I would love to see Ingrid Iron Axe – the Viking I played in the Halloween episode – have her own spinoff series called The Plundering! I love the absolute passion she has for her food and snacks, kind of reminds me of me when I’m hangry… haha. Honestly though, I could totally see Ingrid in a sort of live action “How to Train Your Dragon” type of a series, where she has to defend her sacred collection of food against all the evil dragons!
In your opinion, what’s the most interesting thing about you that people may not know?
I have always loved accents, but specifically when growing up had a fascination with British accents. One day in elementary school, I decided to show up pretending to be Lilly, Jacqueline’s long lost twin sister from London. I held up this act all the way till recess where I was given an ultimatum by my friends, that if I didn’t tell them the truth -whether I really was Lilly or not - they would never talk to me again. Lilly has not made an appearance ever since, Haha. So I guess being an actress has always sort of been in my blood.
When you think about the experience of filming the show, is there a specific funny story or moment that sticks out to you?
Honestly, as a cast we were all such jokesters, there were so many hilarious moments between all of us constantly. I mainly would see Jazz, Rorrie, and Abraham everyday, as most of my scenes where with them! However, whenever Cosme was on set with us, he and I would always make each other laugh hysterically. We had these two facial expressions that we would make at each other while the other one was trying to be serious and wait till we made eye contact and for one of us to break. It was the best!
What are you most excited about right now?
I am most excited about the rest of season two coming out of Beast Morphers! I really feel like fans will be blown away! Season one was classic, and the traditional Power Rangers that ranger nation is used to, but season two gets wild! There will be some really unexpected surprises that I can’t wait to see fans’ reactions to!
Thanks for taking the time Jacqueline!
