Take it away, Lela…

When Elizabeth Rodriguez (she plays Paz) comes to set, I do the happy dance.

Its the closest thing in life that comes to a grown up play date.

One thing to know about Elizabeth: She is a whirl of vitality.

The set gets a kinetic jolt as soon as she walks in and everyone is energized.

So, obviously my favorite scene to shoot was when Paz comes to dinner.

(As a side note, ladies, Omari Hardwick doesnt actually cook in real life.

But he sure looks good faking it, doesnt he?)

Yes, I admit we are spoiled!

And while not a whole lot of eating happened on-camera, we really went in off-camera.

(So not sorry.)

Beyond Larysas talent, her stoic wit, had me in stitches daily.
