Kyrie McAlpin<\/a> to talk all things The Burbs\u2014plus what it\u2019s really like working alongside Keke Palmer, attending a very Seth MacFarlane-style Christmas party, and how faith has played a major role in helping her chase (and land) her Hollywood dreams.<\/p>\nMcAlpin, who grew up in Houston, says stepping onto a set like The Burbs still feels surreal – when she looks around and realizes she\u2019s sharing scenes with performers she\u2019s admired for years. At the first table read for \u2018The Burbs\u2019 she said she had a full fan-girl moment when she saw Palmer in the room. <\/p>\n
And yes, we had to ask about the Christmas party. According to McAlpin, attending a holiday bash hosted by Seth MacFarlane is exactly as iconic as you\u2019d imagine – equal parts glamorous, unexpected, and full of famous faces.<\/p>\n
Beyond the glitz, McAlpin also opens up about staying grounded in an industry known for its ups and downs. She shares how her faith has helped her stay focused, resilient, and hopeful – even when the road felt uncertain.<\/p>\n
