Mercy: For those who haven't seen any, can you share a little bit about your character on Mystery 101?
Jill: Amy Winslow is a professor who teaches crime fiction and has a bit of a super power in being able to help the local law enforcement solve local cases.
Mercy: What do you enjoy most about portraying Amy Winslow?
Jill: I watched Murder She Wrote with my grandma growing up, this show is in the same vein and I love that there is always a bit of action as well.
Mercy: What do you like to do on-set in your free time?
Jill: I have no free time. My schedule is pretty hectic when I shoot, 12-16 hour days, I’m in most of the scenes so there isn’t a lot of down time. During my lunch I talk to my husband on the phone :-)
Mercy: Is there a fun on-set/behind-the-scenes story you can share from Mystery 101?
Jill: We are always having fun and cutting up. I don’t recall every detail but our set is always full of laughs and good times.
