Meet Michelle Trachtenberg
Becoming An Actress

Sara: How did you become an actress?

Michelle: Well, I became an actress because I met my manager in the city one time when she was having an open class, and she liked me. She sent me on my first audition, which was a commercial for Wisk detergent. And I happened to get that commercial, and so then I got more commercials, and then I did print pictures for magazines. And then I moved on to TV and stuff, and then I moved on to movies. So I've been acting for seven or eight years now, since I was three years old.

Sara: Do you take any special classes that help you with your acting?

Michelle: No. I never took acting classes or lessons in my life.

Sara: What do you like the most about being an actress?

Michelle: What I like the most about acting is that you can be any character. You can be anywhere in the world. You can be a writer. You can be a director. You can even play an actress. You can be absolutely anybody -- that's what playing a role is all about.

With every character [you play], you remember that character and you get to see the character's life through the eyes of that character. [When the role you play is finished] you move on, but you get to keep a little bit of the last character that you played -- it stays with you.
