On playing Lisa in After Forever, she remarked, “That was totally fun. Kevin Spirtas and Michael Slade always give me fun things to do. I get to sing, I get to do some emoting… It’s always very fun.”
After Forever was the winner of five Daytime Emmy Awards last year. “That was crazy. We all did our job and then, the next thing you know, we were going to the Emmy Awards. It was very fun to be there and exciting for the show to win. It was utterly unexpected. That was totally amazing,” she admitted.
Huffman praised the digital world for being a “whole new world out there.” “There is content being produced and people are enjoying it,” she said.
Each day during the pandemic, she is motivated by her two cats, who need to be fed and their cat boxes cleaned. “That’s always a good reason to get up in the morning. They are so darn cute.” she said. “Also, I have some friends who are posting things and I’m creating things. It’s a very hard time and a very creative time. It forces us to create since we are not going to our jobs. There is nothing but time. I have some musical instruments and lots of musical friends. I really count on connection with other people.”
For young and aspiring actors, she said, “If you can imagine yourselves doing anything else, then you should probably do that. There are terrific highs and devastating lows. It takes perseverance and passion. If you’re passionate, go for it and try it out.”
On the title of the current chapter of her life, she said, “Get off your ass.”
She defined the word success as follows: “Serving my community. Having the good fortune to be visible enough that I can serve my community. She paused for a moment, then chuckled, “Success in show business is so many things.”
Huffman also opened up about her own YouTube series, Cady Did. “I co-created my own show…I am very excited about it. It has made me much more confident in creating content. I am editing new content and if I want to put something out there, I can promote it and do lots of things I haven’t tried before. It has added a whole new element to what I do. With the digital age, if you want someone to see your content, you can find an audience,” she said.
Cady Did will release its final episode soon. “The fans should get on it and check out,” she said.
The first nine episodes can be seen on the Cady Did YouTube channel below.
The second season of After Forever is available on Amazon Prime Video by clicking here. It earned a glowing review from Digital Journal. “Season 2 is even better than Season 1.” As Cady put it, “If you loved the first season, you will love this season even more. You will love all these characters, so check us out.”
