<h2>DREAM CATCHER. Having dreamed to be a performer since childhood, <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=lexi-atkins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lexi Atkins</a> had fought her battle and come up from the very bottom.                DA MAN chats with the beautiful actress</h2>

Everything happens for a reason, people say. When <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=lexi-atkins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lexi Atkins</a> missed her flight from Los Angeles to Illinois, it was as if by some twist of fate that she received a last-minute call for audition for “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the-boy-next-door" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Boy Next Door</a>,” <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=jennifer-lopez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Lopez</a>’ latest film with Ryan Guzman. Soon as she got the role, Atkins took a lot of classes to prep herself up before the camera. The model-turned-actress has, in fact, a bunch of other projects coming up in 2015. Two of which are TV series “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the-messengers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Messengers</a>” and thriller-comedy “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=zombeavers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zombeavers</a>”—produced by <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=chris-bender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Bender</a> who did “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=american-pie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Pie</a>” and “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the-hangover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hangover</a>.” Ever so passionate on being in the showbiz and acting since a little girl, Atkins shows that nothing can go wrong if you believe in pursuing your dreams.
DA MAN: You’ll play Allie Cambridge in “The Boy Next Door.” How’s the movie production like? 
Lexi Atkins: Hi! The movie production was amazing to be on. It was one of my first big features, which made it all the more exciting. I tried to soak up every day to the fullest because I knew the experience would go by a lot faster than usually expected. Time flies when you’re having fun!
DA: It’s not only directed by Rob Cohen but also has big stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Guzman. What was the experience like working on set with these people? 
LA: To actually get the opportunity to work with Jennifer Lopez who’s been my idol since I was a little girl was beyond exciting! Everyone on set was also such a pleasure and honor to work with. I hope to work with the cast and crew again in the near future.

DA: Tell us about your role. 
LA: I play a young high school girl named Allie Cambridge who is the love interest of Jennifer Lopez’ son, who is played by <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=ian-nelson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ian Nelson</a>. We both attend the same high school, where Jennifer Lopez teaches.
DA: How did you get the role? 
LA: It was such a last-minute audition. I was actually supposed to be back at home visiting my family in Illinois, but I had missed my flight and ended up still being in Los Angeles. I got an email asking if I could make it to the audition that same morning, and the rest was history. It truly goes to show that everything happens for a reason.

DA: What did you do to prepare for the role? 
LA: I practiced with my acting coaches before filming and throughout the filming process. Allie was such a fun character to play, which made her pretty easy to prepare for!
DA: You will also play in new apocalyptic TV series “The Messengers.” Could you tell us about your role there? 
LA: I play a high school girl in “The Messengers.” My character’s name is Alice who is the love interest of one of the messengers, played by <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=joel-courtney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joel Courtney</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">“I tried to soak up every day to the fullest because I knew the experience would go by a lot faster than usually expected”</h2>
&nbsp;
DA: You also got another movie coming up, “Zombeavers,” which features a new breed of zombies. What did you think of the movie when you first read the script? 
LA: When I first read the script I’m not going to lie that I was very confused. But ironically, at the same time, I was pretty glued to it! It was the perfect mix of sexy ridiculousness and scary humor.
DA: Tell us about your role in the film. 
LA: In the film I play a college student named Jen. She has some boy troubles throughout the movie, so her best girlfriends decide to take her to their cousin’s cabin to get away for a girls weekend. Once we get there, all hell breaks loose. My character was the one who got the full “Zombeaver” transformation.

DA: Chris Bender, the producer, also created “American Pie,” “The Hangover” and “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=final-destination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Final Destination</a>” before. Do you think “Zombeavers” can live up to the expectation? 
LA: Yes, I definitely think so! Honestly, nothing can compare to this film. You’ve just got to see it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
DA: Any hints on the upcoming <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=seth-macfarlane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seth MacFarlane</a>’s “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=ted-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted 2</a>”? 
LA: The only hints I can give is that I think it’s going to definitely surpass the first “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=ted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted</a>” and it’s definitely going to be the movie of the year!

DA: What character would you play in “Ted 2”? 
LA: I play the waitress at the cafe. I got to work alongside Ted, <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=amanda-seyfried" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amanda</a> and <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=mark-wahlberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark</a>, which was one of my highlights of 2014.
DA: If you had to choose between acting and modeling, which one would it be? 
LA: I would definitely choose acting. Acting has been a passion of mine ever since I could walk and talk. When I was a little girl, I made my mom videotape me pretending that I had my own TV show! [Laughs] I love to perform and to take on different characters because I truly think each character I play is actually a little piece of the person I already am inside.
