I think the web allows a certain anonymity through which people get a perverse high off being absurdly cruel. These people are idiots who don't even realize what they're saying after a certain point. Personally, I really enjoy your work as Lisa. She's vulnerable in a way that draws you in deeper & makes you curious to learn more. You really, really sell her insecurity. I am looking forward to more of you (and Lisa) in season two.

I must say that I'm truly enjoying where you've taken Lisa's character. I remember joining a band and having 12 days to learn 8 songs for a show in NYC. It wasn't my first performance, but I was nervous nonetheless. As a result, I relate to Lisa, and I completely believe in the way you present her joining the band...thrilled and terrified all at the same time. Great work!

You sooooooooo remind me of an ex-girlfriend in NYC. It's scary. I had to take a double look when I first saw you. Do you happen to have a twin sister? If not, maybe it's mama's baby, poppa's maybe.

Pay no attention at all to such stupid and totally unrealistic remarks. This kind of crap come with the job (at least that's what I heard). You just keep on doing this great job that you do and "nevermind the bollocks".

Maite -- I can't even imagine what it would feel like to experience what you wrote about. All I can say as a fan of the show and of your work on the show, is hang in there and do not let that B.S. get to you. Keep exposing your soul and listening to Marshall (the real Marshall, not that snarky acting teacher dude <g>). And keep discovering new aspects of your character. I expect you've got a lot of humanity to explore and portray on the screen - both small and big.

Yeah, it's such a double-edged sword. The whole situation. Because on one hand, it's terrible to make everything so material, but on the other hand, sadly, our society drives it, you know. At the same time that we object to the JLH comments or even to you Maite, we're fueling it, it's somewhat circuitous. But, the distinction in my belief, is yes, sometimes it is a persons job to be critical whether it's positive or negative everyone is allowed their opinion. The danger comes, such as in this case, when those opinions are uninformed and immaterial. I guess what I mean, is that, they weren't attacking your acting ability, which although mean, would be acceptable (for critiquing purposes), but they were attacking your comments on how you prepared for your role and masked it as somehow being about your role. And that's person, and unwarranted, because they don't know you, so they're commenting on things they are uninformed about. But anywho, again, Maite, your abilites are clear, you seem like a strong person, and obviously you know you'll be fine, and if not, you've got support from a lot of people out there:)

true true true....all of these comments were so true and so lovely, i actually woke up this morning and actually laughed about the situation.....besides it was just words some faceless person (who doesn't know me) put down in a virtual world.....and sad to say, i have made a decision (iwas horrified about the jennifer love h. thing) to no longer support those comments and sad to say (at least for me on long flights) i'm over the trash mags, not supporting them with buying them anymore -cause if iwas sad about silly little things on youtube, i can't imagine how people must feel seeing their faces and personas destroyed in national media settings

Seriously, what is the matter with people?! These douche bags don't even know you personally, yet feel the need to say such hurtful and unnecessary things about you on youtube. I completely agree with you--damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Look at what the awful a-holes out there are saying about J L Hewitt. I'm not even a fan of hers and I was disgusted by the response to her beach pictures and people calling her fat. People are too fat, and then they're anorexic...it just depends on who's writing the article and the mood of the media that day. So I say, knock it the fuck off, and if you don't have anything constructive and intelligent to say (instead of calling someone names), just shut up, or get a life!

Maite,

I think you're great, plain and simple. You are an actress, who is exploring a role which continues to develop. The truth of the fact is, there are many different people in this world and people take on many personas, whether voluntary or thrusted upon them. And yes, there are those people (male AND female) who go through life and excel based upon their physical qualities. And even though you are obviously a very attractive person, it doesn't mean that it was your experience. So of course it's something new to you to be in those shoes. And for people to not understand that you have to adopt a completely different mindset in order to properly perform your job, that is simply turning one's head blindly in order to have a reason to criticize. Likely its due to their own insecurity. At the very least, it happens in the industry of entertaining, but know for every negative you get, with your talent and abilities there will be hundreds if not thousands of positives to drown those right out!

so here's the deal

Dec 04, 2007

so here's the situation...just read sad mean things on youtube about how i am a (cunt) due to my behind the scenes interview where i discuss the fact that i was insecure about playing a character who's crux was her issues about her looks and being a "beautiful girl"...i'm not whining, i just think that it is interesting that your damned if you do and your damned if you don't....if you are confident- you're a cunt and a bitch...if you're insecure about being the "hot girl"in the situation- you are dramatizing your insecurity and pulling a "woe is me" therefore making you more of a cunt and bitch...so here's the deal (as per you tube) there was no gun (or penis) held to my head, but i am an actress playing a role, who was newly blond and discovering this "sexy" character...i don't really get "it" so i'm not being a bitch or screen testing cunt, i'm just doing my job...something i love...that's all
that's all

Maite is hot! I wish we were better friends. She's very busy all the time, and is a gym rat like myself. She's funny and well-read. Damn her for working with such amazing people in the UK. I love Brenda Fricker.
