Jan 27 Episode Fifty-Six: Jennifer Copping

Jennifer Copping is a beloved triple-threat actress who moves back and forth from stage to screen with apparent (and enviable) ease. Jennifer has brought intensity and fire to roles on shows like Van Helsing, Continuum, Bates Motel, Travelers, Fargo, Supernatural, and Riverdale – and films like Becoming Redwood and See Grace Fly and Rabbit – and to theatre dramas like Indian Arm and Detroit and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and stage musicals like Les Miserables, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and Godspell, in which she played Jesus. Sometimes, those stage and screen worlds collide for Jennifer in the best possible way, like in the award-winning short film Bedbugs: A Musical Love Story, in which she sang and danced her heart out as a bed bug exterminator – and in City of Angels, the stage musical she co-directed and co-produced and co-starred in that brought actual pre-recorded film elements into its story about 1940s Hollywood.

In this thoughtful and at times boisterous interview with Sabrina Furminger, Jennifer talks about screen vs. stage, the lessons she learned dying on Fargo (and dying over and over and over again in Les Miserables), how roles for women have changed in recent years, being brave and taking risks, and what she wants next. Also: there’s singing!
