Episode 258: Alison Araya
Alison Araya’s work can be summed up in a single word: bold. Whether she’s playing a loving if slightly overzealous Tia on Julie and the Phantoms, a family court judge with a firm hand on Family Law, a fastidious social worker on Riverdale, or a strong-willed woman who ends up in a superhero threesome on Peacemaker, Alison consistently delivers bold performances that reveal a real mastery of craft, a joyous heart, and a keen mind. In this introspective and at times funny conversation, Alison talks about that threesome with Vigilante and Peacemaker, working with James Gunn and John Cena, the impact of watching Troma Entertainment films as a seven-year-old, how intimacy coordinators have changed the business, why playing Tia Victoria on Julie and the Phantoms meant the world to her, and what she really thinks about ghosts and superheroes.
