  • - I suppose I started when I was about 17.

  • I tend to lie about it when people ask

  • in taxis and stuff what I do.

  • I say I'm a teacher or something

  • just to avoid the conversation. (laughs)

  • I'm Sophie Skelton, and this is "On The Rise."

  • I think my first sort of big acting role

  • was on stage when I was about seven.

  • I love the rush of being on stage.

  • You just look out and you can't even see the audience.

  • It's just sort of a black hole,

  • and there's something really liberating

  • about performing to that.

  • But I think with being on stage,

  • I did sort of crave that discretion of TV and film acting.

  • You can't really lie with your eyes,

  • and on stage, you have to make everything so much bigger

  • which in a way is brilliant,

  • but I also just wanted the realism that screen brings.

  • And screen stuff, I suppose, I started when I was about 17.

  • I wanted to be a surgeon for quite a long time as well,

  • so I studied biology, chemistry, maths, English,

  • further maths, all of that.

  • So I think my parents were actually quite

  • disappointed when I wanted to take the acting route.

  • They love it now.

  • They really like "Outlander" actually,

  • so they were thrilled when I got the job.

  • (upbeat music)

  • My very first real audition was actually

  • with Suzanne Smith, who interestingly,

  • is the one who cast me in "Outlander" years later.

  • So I think I was about 13 or 14.

  • I took the train to London.

  • My dad went with me.

  • And I remember being in a side street

  • rehearsing my lines with my dad.

  • I think it was for a Nickelodeon show.

  • And then, yeah, he kind of wandered off.

  • I went into the audition, and that was that, really.

  • I auditioned a lot for Suzanne before I finally

  • got "Outlander," so thanks.

  • (upbeat music)

  • My very first audition for Brianna

  • was actually in, I think, 2014.

  • I always do a lot of research

  • when I'm auditioning for a role,

  • so this TV series wasn't out yet

  • so I just had the script to go from.

  • But I called this local bookstore

  • where I was staying and asked if they had the books

  • and if they could sort of ship them in overnight.

  • And I went and picked up the books

  • and then read as much about Brianna as I could.

  • I just sort of fell in love with her.

  • I don't know, she's one of those characters

  • that you feel quite protective over all of a sudden,

  • and I think she's funny.

  • A lot of people don't like Brianna,

  • but I thought her humor was great in the books.

  • Obviously she has a temper and everything else, but.

  • And then I didn't anything for a year,

  • so I just thought someone else had got the role.

  • And you do so many auditions

  • that you can't really think about it,

  • but there are some that actually really sting.

  • And with Brianna, I was really quite gutted

  • that I didn't get the role.

  • And then about a year later, I got another email

  • from my agent to say, "Hey, can you audition

  • "for this role in 'Outlander?'

  • "She's called Brianna, she's American,

  • "redhead, blue-eyed, six foot."

  • And I was like, "I did audition for this about a year ago,"

  • and then I just found that they never actually brought

  • her into the series like they were going to.

  • And then, yeah, that was that, got the role.

  • I was really excited, obviously slightly nervous

  • because everything was really fast after that.

  • So I think my recall with Katrina was on the

  • 4th of January if I remember correctly,

  • and then we had to go straight to Scotland

  • almost the next week and start

  • doing fittings and everything else.

  • It was a bit a whirlwind.

  • It was kind of hard to process.

  • And then, obviously, I had to keep it quiet

  • for ages 'cause the release wasn't until late March,

  • I think, they did the press release.

  • So I was just lying to everyone as to why I was in Glasgow.

  • So, yeah, sorry about that. (laughs)

  • (slow jazzy music)

  • So I had had a little bit of warning about the fandom.

  • Matt Roberts had called me into his office,

  • and he said, "Look, when the release goes out just be wary.

  • "Twitter's gonna go a little bit wild.

  • "Our fans are amazing, but they are very vocal."

  • And he also said with the fact that I don't have blue eyes

  • and red hair and everything else and that I'm not American,

  • he said there might be a few opinions,

  • so just don't take it to heart.

  • So when I was in London, and the release was going out,

  • the sort of official release,

  • I had a few hours till my train.

  • So I called my brother and I sort of said,

  • "Hey, I'm sorry I haven't actually been

  • "where I've said I've been the past couple of months,

  • "but I've got this role, the release is coming out.

  • "Can I just come and sit with you in the office

  • "while it all sort of dies down a bit?"

  • We went to a restaurant near King's Cross Station,

  • and we just got champagne,

  • and we just sat and watched Twitter all come through.

  • My brother and I both signed the receipt from that night,

  • just a little, I don't know, a little memory thing,

  • so I have that somewhere.

  • (slow jazzy music)

  • My first Comic-Con, I remember, was crazy.

  • They're so busy, it's such a whirlwind.

  • You just go from room to room, interview to interview.

  • But I think that was one of my first encounters

  • with "Outlander" fans because they just

  • turn up everywhere and it's amazing.

  • Wherever we are in the world, they always find out.

  • I don't know how.

  • They're like little detectives.

  • They just find out where you're gonna be

  • before you even know you're gonna be there,

  • and they buy the tickets.

  • They turn up, they have banners,

  • and there's just so much love from them

  • and it's amazing to see.

  • And I think that will always be one of my fondest memories

  • because the support is just incredible.

  • In all honesty, if I didn't have

  • to have social media for work, I wouldn't.

  • I find it a difficult one to navigate,

  • I think especially for people of my age

  • and the new generations coming up.

  • People who have children now,

  • I can't even imagine how you navigate

  • whether they should or shouldn't have Instagram

  • or how much you monitor it, anything else.

  • I think it can be quite a damaging platform,

  • but I do also think it can be a great thing.

  • Again, a way to spread sort of fandom

  • and love and news about shows and things like that.

  • In those ways, it can bring people together,

  • but I probably shouldn't say that, but there you go.

  • Sorry, Instagram.

  • My account's gonna be closed tomorrow.

  • (slow jazzy music)

  • It's funny you ask what my life

  • will look like in five years.

  • Actually, I'd love to worth with Saoirse Ronan.

  • She's just very quietly cool and quietly successful,

  • and she's always nominated.

  • And I would just love to work with her

  • and see how she works, really.

  • I'd love to do a ballet movie.

  • I'd love to do a superhero movie.

  • I know I should be saying that I'd love to do

  • loads of indie stuff, which I would,

  • but I also love "Avengers" and things like that,

  • so something like that would be really fun too.

  • (slow jazzy music)

- I suppose I started when I was about 17.
