Bevin Prince -

By: Kimmie H

Bevin Prince is known as the lovable high school girlfriend of Skills from One Tree Hill, but she is now branching out to other shows as well as on the big screen. Prince will be in three horror/thriller films as well as make some television appearances, including one on Desperate Housewives.

TheCelebrityCafe.com’s Kimberly Helk got a chance to speak to Prince who is keeping busy since her days as blonde Bevin Murskey on the CW’s One Tree Hill.

KH: I’m a fan of One Tree Hill so this is cool.

BP: Nice! I love it!

KH: Being Sophia Bush’s roommate in real life [who plays Brooke on OTH], is it hard watching her go off to the set of One Tree Hill, knowing that you aren’t going there with her anymore?

BP: I love One Tree Hill with every bit of my heart. So I’m excited for Sophia and everything she’s doing, so, um, I don’t think it’s necessarily hard, I don’t think about it too much. I love that show with every bit, of course I would love to go back, you know, always, but hard isn’t really the right word. I miss everybody there of course!

KH: What are you working on now, you know I’ve seen you’re in post-production with a couple of movies and a few horror/thriller movies, is there anything you are working on besides those?

BP: Right now I am shooting a film called Backstage Pass with Taryn Manning and it’s another thriller and it’s a lot of fun, I’ve had a lot of fun with them. We’re finishing up this week and also Dark House should be coming out here pretty shortly, we’re actually about to have our first screening in the next week or so, so I am really excited about that.

KH: Wow, three horror/thriller movies in a row, do you prefer that genre of movies over others?

BP: I don’t think it’s a preference so much as what’s been presented to me at this point, you know? I am very very grateful to be working and these have kind of been around, so I guess I scream pretty well, I don’t know, haha!

KH: So now what kind of roles do you like best; do you like a “Bevin” role like in OTH: a good girl, or do you like something a little more catty like Mariann, that you recently played on Desperate Housewives?

BP: I think it’s always more fun to play someone with a little bit of bite to them. You know, somebody that’s a little bit catty or over the top. I don’t think it’s necessarily about good girl or bad girl for me, it’s just about something you get to play a certain quality in a human being. You get to play it a little bit bigger than it normally is on a day to day basis. I enjoy that a lot, you know like a dream role for me would be like Reese Witherspoon in Election. That sort of character. I would LOVE to play something like that, I’m dying to.

KH: Have you thought about doing more TV series or are you just concentrating on movies right now?

BP: I am very willing to do more television, it’s just kind of about whatever is going on right now and what’s being presented to me. I would be very open to anything. I just really, really enjoy the work more than anything. I’m not selective, like I don’t have a preference of film or television, they are both equally fun to me and have their pros and cons.

KH: I see that you are originally from North Carolina, what is the biggest difference between life on the East Coast and living now on the West Coast?

BP: Wow, there’s sooo many! Haha! It is day and night. When I was growing up in Wilmington, it’s a small place and everybody’s calmer and more relaxed, and set in their ways. Out here everyone’s moving quickly and changing and evolving and that was a big difference for me, kind of learning to adjust to a much faster lifestyle. But I have grown to love Los Angeles more than I ever thought I could, believe it or not. I met two girl friends out here so we’re best friends and that just really changed a lot of things for me in general. I have two women who are the most important people in the entire world, the best friends a girl could ask for.

KH: One of them being Sophia Bush?

BP: Sophia’s not here much! She’s in North Carolina [for OTH]. It’s two other girls that I met out here.

KH: Do you ever wish you could move back or do you think that L.A. is now your new home for good?

BP: There is always a place in my heart that would want to go back to North Carolina at some point and live. But I really feel I’ve built a little community here and this is where the world has led me to, so I’m very happy here. I don’t like to think long term as much as just kind of day to day, and today I’m here in Los Angeles and it’s where I need to be, so I figure I will be led in the right direction, day by day with a willing heart.
