I had the opportunity to ask Amy Davidson some questions about her role as Kerry on 8 Simple Rules and her upcoming role as Helen in the Lifetime Movie Network mini series, The Capture of the Green River Killer. If you are a fan, check it out! She’s sweet, sincere and opened her heart about her tv dad John Ritter, Tom Cavanagh & her experience working with runaway teens with the charity Children of the Night.
Info from Lifetime Movie Network about the show: “For nearly 20 years, the Green River Killer haunted Washington State with a series of shocking murders. The LMN miniseries The Capture of the Green River Killer is told through the eyes of one young runaway, Helen “Hel” Remus [Davidson], whose fate, bad luck and unwise choices lead to her encounter with the notorious serial killer. Leading the hunt for the murderer is Sheriff David Reichert [played by Tom Cavanagh, Ed of Ed], who becomes so entangled in the case that he’s willing to risk his family and career to find justice for the slain girls.
The Green River Killer story is told through your character’s eyes. That’s a major role and a heavy, heavy story! How was that? Fun, intimidating, a bit of both?
First of all, Hel is a dream role for me… I’d been saying that I wanted to do something completely different from me. From what I’d played in the past. And this was definitely it! I don’t think I was necessarily intimidated, but I did feel the weight on my shoulders. Memorializing these girls was my number one priority so it was important to tell the story as honest as I possibly could… And I had a blast filming! One of the greatest experiences to date!
