    The first thing I do every morning when I get to the studio is… “Put my keys down and sign in.”

  3. Instagram
    When I’m waiting to get called to the set, you can almost always find me… “Having a snack — usually granola bars or chips.”

  5. Instagram
    When I’m kinda nervous about a scene, I often approach it by… “Listening to music. I love bossa nova [a Brazilian style of music that’s infused with jazz]. It’s very relaxing.”

    Just before the camera starts to roll, I tend to feel… “A little bit of jitters, but usually, they go away by the time we’re [counting down to the start of the scene].”

    My favorite of all the sets to work on is… “I like The Brady Pub. It’s where the food is. Usually, they bring out options for you to be ‘having lunch’ there. Also, the pub has the most props to engage with during a scene.”

    My favorite days on the set are the ones when I get to… “See the entire cast.”

  10. Instagram
    On my lunch break, you’ll likely find me… “At the commissary.”

  11. XJJohnson/jpistudios.com
    One thing I still can’t figure out around here is… “How to work the doors. One day they open to the right, the next day they’ll open to the left — and in the same set! It’s so confusing. You get used to something, and then they change it up on you. It’s a mess.”

  13. XJJohnson/jpistudios.com
    My favorite thing about Gabi’s wardrobe is… “Everything! I love everything in her closet. I would never regret any of the choices. I love them all!”

  14. Instagram
    Of all my castmates, the one who remains the biggest mystery to me is… “Nobody! Everybody’s been pretty open, and I’ve been very fortunate to learn about everyone on our show [over the years].”

  15. Instagram
    The last thing I do before I leave the studio for the day is always… “Take my makeup off.”

  17. Instagram
    On my commute home from work, I often… “Call my mom, and we just talk about the day.”
