Now that Emma Myers<\/a> is on one of the hottest shows around, the \u201cWednesday\u201d<\/a> star gets a kick out of someone bringing up her first TV role.<\/p>\n

On a 2010 episode of the Florida-based police procedural \u201cThe Glades,\u201d Myers played the daughter of a NASA mission specialist caught up in a murder investigation. The thing is, there was no acting involved \u2013 instead, she showed up, smiling, in multiple family photos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey put out like a cattle call for kids,\u201d says the Orlando native, 23. \u201cThey just took a photo of me so that they could put it in a picture frame and this character could look longingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her career has certainly gotten more active. Myers broke out as Enid, the werewolf roommate\/bestie of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega<\/a>), in Netflix\u2019s \u201cWednesday\u201d Season 1 three years ago. After that, she starred as English teen sleuth Pip in the 2024 Netflix mystery series \u201cA Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Murder,\u201d played sword-wielding heroine Natalie in this year\u2019s fantasy blockbuster hit \u201cA Minecraft Movie\u201d<\/a> and scored a role in 2027\u2019s animated \u201cAngry Birds 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Myers and her infrequently furry alter ego are back in \u201cWednesday\u201d Season 2 (first four episodes streaming now, last four premiere Sept. 3<\/a>), where danger is afoot yet again at Nevermore Academy. In addition to rocking a colorful new hairdo, Enid is embroiled in a love triangle with new wolfman Bruno (Noah B. Taylor) and former beau Ajax (Georgie Farmer), plus gets in a \u201csnooty little rivalry\u201d with creepy young Agnes (Evie Templeton), who\u2019s trying to replace Enid as Wednesday\u2019s BFF.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe’s getting it from all sides, honestly,\u201d Myers says.<\/p>\n

The actress discusses both of her Netflix shows, the viral popularity of \u201cMinecraft\u201d and the downside of wolfing out.<\/p>\n

Edited and condensed for clarity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Q: How do you feel both you and Enid have grown since the first “Wednesday” season?<\/p>\n

Emma Myers: I mirror Enid a bit in her journey. I’ve definitely gained confidence in myself in the past three years. No love triangles for me (in real life), thank goodness (laughs). She’s a bit more headstrong and she goes out and gets what she wants. I love to stay true to the original old Enid, but also just bringing in that subtle strength behind her as well.<\/p>\n

She and Wednesday have this unspoken understanding. They have a sense of comfort in one another that Wednesday probably wouldn’t admit to but Enid certainly would.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do you get a say in Enid\u2019s wardrobe or what gets put in her half of their dorm room?<\/p>\n

Definitely. If I’m in a fitting, I’ll always pick out my favorite ones or just say that I don’t like something and they’ll nix it. But in Season 2, I’m the one who decided that haircut. I said, \u2018If we’re going to make her a bit more edgy and stuff, this is a fun haircut to give her.\u201d It’s great to have that sort of say and have people trust you about it.<\/p>\n

But Enid doesn\u2019t transform as much as one would expect from a werewolf. Do you wish you wolfed out on the show more?<\/p>\n

If you overdo the wolfing-out<\/a>, the significance of it lessens a lot. The amount that she wolfs out is actually fine. Also, just from an actor’s perspective, it’s humiliating to do the beginning of wolfing out, so I’m glad that I only had to do it as many times as I\u2019ve had to.<\/p>\n

Your accent is spot-on as Pip in “Good Girl’s Guide.” Does anybody ever think you\u2019re actually a Brit?<\/p>\n

I get it sometimes, but then also sometimes I get people telling me that it was too exaggerated. I really don’t know what to think, to be honest with you. Season 1, I didn’t get time to practice it. I was thrown into the role two weeks before we started shooting. This next season that we just finished, I had a lot more time to prep, so I hope it pleases the audience this time.<\/p>\n

Congrats on that Favorite Butt-Kicker Kids’ Choice Award for \u201cMinecraft.\u201d Where do you keep your trophy?<\/p>\n

I haven’t been home since I won. I don’t even know if they’ve sent me one. If I don’t have one, I would like one because I feel like I deserve one! That’s so cool to have won that. I definitely want my award on my shelf or something, so maybe I need to talk to some people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinecraft\u201d really was quite the phenomenon. Have you had a middle-school kid yell \u201cChicken jockey!\u201d at you yet?<\/p>\n

I have, actually. I have had a \u201cChicken jockey!\u201d yelled at me in the middle of some scenes. We had to shoo them away to finish. I get \u201cChicken jockey!\u201d yelled at me quite often, or people (on Instagram) will just comment \u201cChicken jockey!\u201d I love that that’s taken off so much. It’s very amusing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Myers relates to her ‘Wednesday’ character Enid in Season 2 Emma Myers reflects on her bond with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[46681,46684,13716,228,236,13721,88,3006,12762,46682,26319,3729,13723,217,3,46683,13470,13471,5573,23502,13694,4196,92,44823,23504,13692],"class_list":["post-62993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-addams","tag-addams-family","tag-affiliate","tag-arts","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrities-u0026-entertainment-news","tag-entertainment","tag-family","tag-guides","tag-jenna","tag-jenna-ortega","tag-local","tag-local-affiliate-arts-u0026-entertainment","tag-netflix","tag-news","tag-ortega","tag-overall","tag-overall-positive","tag-positive","tag-programs","tag-reference","tag-shows","tag-tv","tag-tv-guides-u0026-reference","tag-tv-shows-u0026-programs","tag-u0026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
