"Dave" (2020)
In an interview with StarryMag, Misiak shared some of her favorite moments from filming "Dave":
We shot at several locations in LA, but I really freaked out when we shot several scenes at the Hollywood Paladium.
I really love that venue and we got to shoot on stage (and go backstage!) and I was such a nerd about it.
I have obnoxious selfies to prove it.
The hardest I acted on set was when I was playing it cool around the celebrity cameos.
Hiding my hyperventilating from Kourtney Kardashian took some real acting chops.
There were very few times I made Dave laugh in the middle of a scene – but I did!
Those few breaking moments so rewarding and fun I’ll never forget them.
Oh man – speaking of laughing – I made Kevin Hart laugh one time.
I can’t tell you much about it.
I saw him laugh then intermediately blacked out for the next time minutes.
I was so overwhelmed and happy.
I really loved working closely with the writers on set.
Every one of them is so incredibly talented and sharp.
One of my favorite memories was collaborating with writer Vanessa McGee and showrunner Jeff Schaffer on a big Ally/Dave scene.
We were shooting the scene later that day but everyone wanted to make sure the dialogue was just right.
We got together bright and early before our call and worked on the scene over pancakes and coffee.
It was truly such an honor – not only to see the them in their element – but to have them include me in conversations about what Ally would and wouldn’t say.
I learned so, so much.
And they made me laugh quite a bit!
And the pancakes were delicious!
I also had the chance to work with my boyfriend Tony Yacenda.
He directed three of the episodes and really clicked with the whole cast.
I gotta mention that as one of my favorite things because honestly it was!
Now you have to interview him and see if he mentions me.
I looking back there’s so many little memories I cherish I could truly go on for days.
I’m so lucky to be starring on a show I believe in and find so funny – it’s truly an embarrassment of riches that I made so many new and very real friends while working on it.[14]
