GLITTER: What was your first acting job?
MAKENZIE: It was actually for my dad who was directing an independent film and he had me and my sister in a scene where we each had a line. Still remember it… “Mommy, will you make us lunch.” I was like four-years-old.
GLITTER: What can you tell us about the CBS show, The Unicorn, without giving anything away?
MAKENZIE: Walton Goggins plays a recent widow, Wade, who is now being pushed to start dating again. A lot of comedy and heart comes from him trying to deal with online dating as well as taking on both roles as father and mother.
GLITTER: Who do you play?
MAKENZIE: I play Wade’s youngest daughter Natalie, a kind of sassy and sporty girl who carries a small chip on her shoulder mainly due to the fact that her mother passed away a year ago.
GLITTER: How did you audition for the show?
MAKENZIE: My first audition for The Unicorn was on a Saturday morning which is a little unusual for most castings. I was actually at my friend’s sleepover party when my Mom woke me up super early that morning. which was a little embarrassing, explaining that I had a great audition with very little time to prepare so off we went to the audition…… and then I got called back four times. The final time was for the studio who then sent my audition tape to the network and then got hired. I was soooo excited, I couldn’t stop crying happy tears! I’ve worked really hard at this and have had a lot of “No’s,” so it was a relief and pure joy for that “Yes!”
GLITTER: What do you love to do in your spare time?
MAKENZIE: I love to dance, play with my three dogs, and hang out with my friends.
