Episode 263: Luisa D'Oliveira
Luisa D'Oliveira is a phenomenal actress with keen instincts, a sharp mind, and a big heart. She’s beloved around the world for her nuanced work as Emori on The 100, a role that positioned her as a disability advocate due to the grace with which her character navigated life as a person with a disability. Other highlights include The Good Wife, where she played a young lawyer going up against Julianna Margulies’ character, a co-starring role as a detective on CBC’s Cracked, a phenomenal arc on Motive, and a fantastic turn in Vancity, a proof of concept from Brady Roberts and Krista Jang about the intertwined lives of six thirty-somethings trying to make it in the Vancouver entertainment industry. Luisa is also the driving force behind the Feed Your Mind Book Club. Every month, the book club reads one non-fiction book, inspired by the tagline: Find the time, feed your mind. In this compelling and funny conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Luisa reflects on her time in Emori’s world, her new role as a book club maven, and her misadventures eating food on set.
