The ever-so-generous #PeggySchott sat down with us and discussed her TV, Film, and stage career, both past, present, and even upcoming. Most of the conversation revolved around the intersection of actors & film-makers in and around the Texas/Austin area, how that's influenced her opportunities, and how it all eventually lead to her winding up on #FearTheWalkingDead!
