“She has a completely different part then Rachel, everything Rachel is, this women isn’t,” Paris said. “I mean she is a down home regular woman who is kind of grumpy and she doesn’t care about her appearance. She smokes! I mean, Rachel smoking, I don’t think Rachel smoking would ever happen.”
Paris couldn’t rave enough about the actress, who has been on TV since Glee began in May 2009. He explained that she “killed” the role and it was actually one of the shortest days on set, since she was “so prepared!”
