-So, last time you were here,
we were talking about your show "Revenge."
And I feel like, in this show, it's safe to say,
you are actually playing a character
who has a moral compass.
-Yes, she has a moral compass. Thank God.
-Do you enjoy that? Do you enjoy playing a person who's kinder?
-She's still tough, but it's nice
that she has, as you say, a moral compass.
She's got a tremendous amount of integrity.
And I just, like, was really drawn to that
after four years of playing this nut.
You know? -Yes.
It's nice to get out of the nut game.
Yeah, of course. -You need a little break.
-Diversify, yeah. -Exactly.
-Did you spend time with people
in the medical profession to prepare for this?
-Yeah. I mean, you have to.
You can't really shadow because it's strange, you know?
I wouldn't want that. -I would not want my doctor
to come in and be like --
"Here's actress Emily VanCamp. She's shadowing me today."
That's strange.
But I spoke to nurses and nurse practitioners at length
and, you know, mostly just wanted
to get to know what a day looks like for them.
You know, when do you cry as a nurse?
You know, like, when do you --
All of the little things you don't think about.
-Sure.
-And it was just a fascinating process.
And, gosh, do I have -- Oh, hey.
Rookie mistake.
No, I mean, I just -- I found them fascinating.
I have so much respect for medical professionals,
not that I didn't before.
But, my God, they're noble.
-Is it true that you've been watching
YouTube videos of gruesome surgeries?
-Dude. [ Chuckles ] It's rough.
-Yeah, well, what's rough is now YouTube's gonna start
suggesting other things for you to watch.
-I know. No. It already does.
Things pop up, and I'm like, "Oh, God!"
No, but I am a little bit less squeamish now.
It's weird. Like, I was sort of just
kind of doing some research the other night.
We have this procedure we have to do
which is cutting into an eyelid and then an eyeball.
And I just found myself --
I'm serious.
I found myself just, like, nonchalantly watching it.
Our nurse who helps us out sent it over,
and I'm just, like, watching this procedure,
and I realized, "Oh, my God. I'm just doing this."
-Wow.
"I'm just doing it, and I've got no feeling."
I was numb to it. It's amazing. So I don't know.
Maybe I'm just indirectly --
-Yeah, you either are getting better
or you've turned into a sociopath.
-That too. So...
-Does your mom have trouble watching the show?
-She does. -Okay.
-Most of my family, except my sister who's studying to be a vet.
She's like, "I got this."
But, you know, we all kind of think we have all the ailments.
-Oh, I see. -So every script I read,
I'm like, "Oh, my God, Mom!
I'm pretty sure I have this, I'm pretty sure I have that!"
And she's like, "I have that, too!"
Thanks. That's helpful.
But, yeah, it's definitely been a test for me to do this show.
And I'm learning a huge amount, which is kind of cool.
-I know you and your family are huge hockey fans.
You are shooting in Atlanta right now.
-No hockey team. They have a soccer team,
but they can't have -- They used to have a hockey team.
-Yeah, they used to have one.
Now, is it hard for you -- What is your team?
-The Canadiens. -The Canadiens. Gotcha.
-'Cause I studied in Montreal. -Gotcha.
-But they're huge rivals with Toronto,
and, you know, I'm from Toronto, so, yeah.
I mean, I get, like, hate mail from my family constantly.
-Oh, wow. Well, still, it's nice of them
to write a letter in this day and age.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And it's, like, very Canadian-style hate mail.
So it's like, you know -- It's not too bad.
-It's like, "You're going down. Also, I hope you're well."
-Yes, exactly. Yes. Exactly. Exactly.
Also, "Can't wait to see you."
-So, hard to keep up?
-It is because I don't have actual television in Atlanta.
I just have streaming. So I'm always --
My mom updates me
'cause she's actually a Canadiens fan, as well.
-Gotcha. -So things get a little heated.
-Well, it's nice that you can stay a family unit despite this.
-Exactly. Exactly.
-We did not talk about this last time you were here because you --
I'm not sure, but you have certainly been
in a "Captain America" movie since you've been here.
-Yeah, I don't think I was in --
-How is -- And here's a photo. You are in this photo.
-I am somewhere. I'm like on the end somewhere.
There I think I am.
-This is the Marvel class photo
of everybody who's been in a Marvel film,
and it's an incredible group of people.
How has the experience been for you?
-It's been amazing. I mean, everyone's incredible.
The movies are so amazing,
so it's just incredible to be a part of them.
But then being on that stage was just weird.
I was like, "What am I doing here?"
Like, who said to call Emily VanCamp?
'Cause I'm like, "This is crazy."
It was so fascinating. -It's a weird thing because --
That's like more famous people than are at any given Oscars.
-It's so many famous people
and so many people that I respect and love.
And I just kind of was just sort of standing there in awe.
It was very cool.
And those movies are just awesome.
-They're great. I know there's a high level of secrecy
when you work on a film like that, but is there --
-I have like, a silent drone following me around right now.
-Are you allowed to take souvenirs
from the set at the end?
-I mean, not me. And I wouldn't even try.
I mean, that's scary.
-Or take, like, a really low-level prop, like a pencil.
-I mean, I probably could take a pencil,
but even then, somebody would be like -- They know everything.
No, but it's -- Yeah -- I didn't even attempt.
-Gotcha.
-I was just really happy to be there,
and I did not want to ruffle any feathers.
-Very smart. Very smart. Wait, like, 'til
your third or fourth movie and then steal something.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
-Steal the shield and get out of there.
I know you're also a poker player.
This is something -- -I am, yeah.
-And when did your love of poker start?
-I started young. I started as a teenager.
-Okay, that's good. I think most poker players probably did.
-Back when I was doing "Everwood,"
that's what we would do because we were shooting in Utah,
and I just fell in love with it.
I mean, I don't play in casinos or the games or anything.
-I feel like Utah would be heartbroken to find out
that because you were there you became a gambler.
-I think there are oddly a lot of gamblers there.
-Okay, that makes sense. That tracks, yeah.
-But, yeah, I love it. It's a great game.
And that's what I do with my friends.
You know, we just... -Gotcha.
-...get around a poker table, and it's good fun.
-Do you think you could actually beat --
like, take down some professionals?
Are you at that level? -I've never tried.
-I feel like this is --
I feel like you're playing coy, but you could.
You're like, "I don't know. I'd love to play, though, gentlemen."
-I'm just joining the World Poker Tour.
No, I don't know if I'm at that level,
but I've been playing for a long time.
-All right. You never know then.
Hey, thanks so much for being back.
It's such a pleasure to see you again.
