Emma Myers Photograph by AB+DM/NETFLIX [This story contains spoilers from Wednesday season two, Part 1.] Why have a normal job when you can be running across a green screen, investigating a mystery or "chained up to somebody while there's a bunch of knives threatening to kill us?" That's basically Emma Myers' mentality. At just 23 years old, Myers has already made a name for herself, starring opposite Jenna Ortega in Netflix's Wednesday (which just dropped season two, Part 1), leading the TV adaptation of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (which just wrapped filming its second season) and starring in the blockbuster, A Minecraft Movie, just to name a few.

"I love acting because you get to do stuff that you could never ever do in your normal life," the actress tells The Hollywood Reporter. And that's exactly how she felt taking on the bubbly werewolf Enid in Wednesday as she's "playing somebody so polar opposite" to herself. Following what Myers describes as an "insane" first half to the show's second season, she teases that Part 2 is "even crazier," since "You think it's gonna go one way and then it goes another way." Below, Myers breaks down her intense Wednesday scenes so far, shares her favorite part about playing Enid and teases what fans can expect when Part 2 drops Sept. 3. She also chats about her favorite memories from starring in A Minecraft Movie and teases A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season two. *** What made you first want to pursue a career as an actor? I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and [director] Peter Jackson used to release these three-hour behind-the-scenes films alongside [the movies]. I used to sit and watch what the set was like and the actors doing their thing, [and] I remember being like, "That's what I wanna do. I wanna make stuff like that. I wanna be a part of stuff like this." Gosh, I was so little when I started. I've just been in love with it for ages, but it's actually all thanks to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. With season two of Wednesday now released, what are you most excited for fans to see in Part 1? So much! There's so much that goes on, it's insane. I love the scripts this season. They're so interesting. Each episode has its own climax and buildup; everything's so crazy and insane. I thought episode three was really fun. I loved the camp stuff. We always say that filming the series feels like a summer camp, so the fact that we actually got to go to a summer camp while filming was pretty crazy. We all had the best time doing the races and all that. And then Willow Hill in [episode] four, it's a really fun sequence. I'm so excited for people to get towards the end of Part 1 because Part 2 is, I think, even crazier, and I'm so excited for that anticipation to build. Emmy Myers in Wednesday season two. Netflix It seems like your character is finding herself more this season after finally transforming into a werewolf at the end of season one. What do you love the most about playing Enid? I love that she's so different from me. I really do not have that much energy, nor do I care too much about topics to be that excitable about anything. Enid is so excitable. She's crazy and entertained and so over the top, and it's such a release to play her because you can be stupid and crazy and it's a good exercise. It's a good release of emotions and so fun playing somebody so polar opposite from you, because when else would you have that experience? Noah B. Taylor and Emmy Myers in season two. Netflix Your character has some intense scenes in Part 1, including being tied up under a bunch of knives and then being attacked by birds. Do you enjoy filming the dramatic or calmer scenes more? I prefer to have a little bit of action. I love getting to film those sequences; the knives was crazy. We took three days straight to film that, but then three more days of pickup, so all in all, it took almost a whole week to shoot that sequence, which was absolutely insane. I love filming sequences like that because again, when in your normal life would you ever be in that situation? I can have a conversation with anybody any day, but when am I gonna get chained up to somebody while there's a bunch of knives threatening to kill us? By the end of each day, because me and Noah [B. Taylor] were tied up together the whole day, I'd go to bed that night and I could still like feel his back on mine. It's like when you're in the ocean and you go to sleep that night and you still feel like you're in the waves, but with somebody and not the waves, it was crazy and very strange. Even though Nevermore Academy is a chaotic place, especially with Wednesday (Ortega) there, Enid is also still navigating
