Molly Carlisle – IMDB – InterviewAs the youngest of four, Molly was only too eager to be cast in whatever drama her older siblings were concocting. From campy home videos to ridiculous school plays to the silver screen, she’ll seize any opportunity to put her dramatics to use. |

Molly Devon – IMDB – Interview – Where are they now interview 2015Molly Devon is an actress and artist based in Boston. As someone who holds receiving an Oscar and acting in a B-movie on the same pedestal, it’s no mystery why she was drawn to TEN. Restless in the world of academia, she decided to attend college part time and constructively pursue her desire to act. Countlessly finding herself lured into horror and thriller based roles, Molly is no stranger to the world of ghosts and fake blood. Her life motto which is freeing, blunt, and sprinkled with a dash of cynicism is: All of our lives will inevitably end, so dismiss comfort and make your risks while you can. |

Kerri Lynch – IMDB – Interview – Set Interview – Where are they now interview 2015Kerri may be slightly introverted, which seems a little strange considering her chosen career path as an actor, but after a few drinks, or being chased by a cleaver-wielding ghost, she turns into a social butterfly. Since she was little, she has always played out movie scenes in her mind, imagining herself in each of the roles. When daydreaming got old, she decided to work toward something more productive and she started auditioning for film roles. Three things Kerri says that she couldn’t live without: 1) high heels 2) exercise and 3) vulgar, offensive, hip-hop music. Luckily, the story of TEN focuses closely on all three of those things. |
