10 Things You Didn't Know About Claudia Peters

get to know the new funky gal hitting the nyc film scene

1. She's Been Acting For How Long?

Well actually it's only been 14 years out of this 21 year old's life. She distinctly remembers how performance of the "Fairy Fork Mother" in her grade 8 production of "Dear Edwina."

"I remember the day of costuming I was given a wedding dress 12 sizes too big for my 12 year old self and struggling so hard while attempting to wear the heels I was given. But what a rush, signing about cutlery and having everyone dancing around me. Definitely something I can never forget."

We begged Claudia to rekindle some of those photos, but unfortunately they were all burnt.

2. Her first film starred Alec Baldwin, Demi Moore and Dylan McDermott

True story. Her first day on set wasn't a small one, it was with comedy legend, Alec Baldwin and the beautiful badass, Demi Moore. We can only imagine it was a tad intimidating.

"I had the biggest crush on Dylan. He would just arrive on set, do his thing (and do his thing with such professionalism and pure talent,) and then go back to his room. So talented and mysterious."

The movie is called Blind - give it a wee Google search folks.

3. The Intern

Wait. Being an unpaid intern can actually pay off? Well according to this girl, yes. Yes it can. Claudia was an intern for Michael Mailer Films during her last year of college.

"It was a stereotypical internship at some points, but other times it wasn't a conventional internship. I would get to read scripts people would send into Michael's office in the hopes of having them produced. I think in the year there, I read one and a half good scripts. I've blocked out the others."

What was her trick for going from intern to being on set? Persistence is the answer.

Please do. She's a blast and a half on instagram.

"I love the concept of social medias bringing people all over the world together. I have friends and family in England, Australia, New Zealand, and America. It just makes it so much easy to refer them to my instagram when they ask what I've been doing.

6. Where Is She Even From?

Because something is up with that accent of hers. Although she can do a solid American. Most people can't understand what she's trying to say off of set.

"I was born in England. I grew up in a cute town until I was 9. Then the fam decided to be spontaneous and move to the other side of the world. I then lived in New Zealand from the age of 9-18. Visiting Australia at least twice a year. And then in the fall of 2013, at the tender age of 18, I moved to New York by myself to go to school here."

Mad respect.

7. American Idol

Who do you look up to?

"I look up Erin Kennedy. Hands down. She knows why. I also look up to Demi Lovato. I think Emma Watson is also a force to be reckoned with. And of course, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Tina and Amy actually remind me of me and my best friend. And I hope one day we can get on the same level as them."

8. Another Film With The Mailers?

Yessiree. The next project was Crazy Eyes - written by John Buffalo Mailer. The same writer from her first movie, Blind.

Crazy Eyes features Peter Cambor, Thom Bishops, Lacey Dorn, and John Buffalo Mailer. Of and of course, Claudia Peters.

"It was a night shoot. Anyone who has ever done a night shoot before. Claps for you. I turned into a zombie. Getting to set at 5pm, and getting home at 7am. Whoo. What a rush and feeling of being a zombie. I would only do that type of thing for JB Mailer."

9. What's Next?

After parading around NYFW, and chilling in Quad Studios while her BFF records her next single, Claudia finds her way back to sets because that is where her heart is.
