Thank you to Seth for taking the time for the short interview about his time on Providence with Tessa.

Q. What was it like working with Tessa on the set of Providence?
A. Working with Tessa was a lot of fun. She has a lot of energy and is a joy to be around!

Q. Do you have a favorite scene you filmed with her?
A. I Guess my favorite scene I did with her was the one where she throws up on me. As usual she put her all into the scene and refused to use the fake throw up. Instead she spun around in circles until she felt sick and threw up all over me! She's so method!
(Seth is referring to the episode 'You Can Count on Me' from the series fourth season).

Q. Melina Kanakarades said in an interview that it was easy to be upstaged by both some of the animals that were on Providence and some of the kids such as Tessa. Do you feel the same way?
A. Working with Tessa had other dangers, she's a scene stealer! It's hard not to be upstaged by her, especially when she was in those crazy outfits.

Q. Did Tessa bring anything special to the set?
A. She brings a special something to the set only a child could bring. It's hard to describe, but it's magical.

Q. Over the five years there were many kids on Providence, do you think having Hannah as a niece aided Robbie in any way for fatherhood?
A. Having Hannah/Tessa on the set definitely aided Robbie/me for fatherhood. Now that I am a father in real life, I hope that my daughter will be like her in many ways, bright, talented and wicked cute!

Thank You to Seth for answering our questions, and special thanks to Rachel Baker for arranging it.
