For Your Consideration: Annemarie Pazmino as Cassandra Morrissey

This Post is in a series of posts that is directed at the members of the IAWTV/Streamy Awards. The content will highlight different members of the Compulsions team. These are meant for both awareness and as a guide to showcase what each individual brought to the project.

Annemarie Pazmino is a familiar face in the web space co-staring in TheWB.com’s Sorority Forever. She has several film credits and recently received an Indie Soap Award Nomination for her work in Compulsions. “Acting for me is always about trying to find the truth in my characters. The journey of finding it is the fun, and actually getting there is the bonus.” – Annemarie Pazmino

From Director Nathan Atkinson: This poor girl – I put her through the wringer during auditions. She was just too good to let go, and auditioned fantastically. The question was purely that of chemistry. It’s hard to explain, but as a Director, you don’t cast an actor – you cast a “cast.” Annemarie is not new to the screen, but I feel that this was the first time that she was really allowed to flex her acting chops. And thank God she has the chops to flex. She totally saved us. Every time we got to her scenes – we were completely out of time for the day or the entire shoot. Many others might have totally folded – but I think she actually was able to use all the pressure somehow. The mysteries of the great actors. Not to mention, out of nowhere, I asked her to do some improvisation for a series of shots – no problem, just as natural as breathing.

From Creator Bernie Su: Going into the series, the Cassandra role had this aura to her. This was truly a unique character and would be an incredible challenge to play for two big reasons.
