Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"SHAR JACKSON"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: You played "Monique" in the original "Good Burger" film, how did you land this role?
SHAR: The normal way it was done back to then... lol
I had to audition! I don't r remember having to do a call back or a anything like that, which means I luckily nailed it when I went in.
STANDISH: How does it feel to be in such a cult classic like "Good Burger" & would you say that it opened doors for your future?
SHAR: I love it!!! It's exactly that "a classic".
I love the reactions I get when people realize I'm Monique.
I don't know if it opened doors in my career, becuz I was on a really successful TV Series when I did the movie, so I can't really say which project added to my career advancements.... but I can say I had a blast working on that film!
STANDISH: What was the atmosphere like being on set at "Good Burger" in 1997?
SHAR: It was long hours, but it was sooooo much fun! We all laughed non stop.... I'm surprised we got any work done!
STANDISH; You play "Shar Jackson" in "Good Burger 2", can you tell us more? How'd you secure this?
SHAR: I guess it would've been weird to not have me in there somewhere... lol
It was literally a p phone call to my manager saying "we'd love to have Shar do a cameo in this thing" so of course I did it. I just felt the true Good Burger heads would be bummed if they didn't get a lil Monique.
But also I showed up..."cuz that's where my stuff is"😉
STANDISH: Out of all of your credits, which has been your favorite?
SHAR: Probably the horror films I've produced by outside of that definitely Moesha and Good burger
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
SHAR: Oh my gosh... there is so much in the works right now! I am officially off of my hiatus and my team and I are going full throttle!!!
Even before any of the film and television stuff drops, my graphic novel and comic book "The adventures of Sharlock Holmes" drops.... that's a passion project that I'm super proud of! And of course I'll be in front of the camera, in so many different projects, in roles people aren't used to seeing me in... but I'm also Directing and producing projects. Needless to say it's gonna be bonkers!!!
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
SHAR: Doing all this same stuff and discovering what new adventures I can take on!
STANDISH: In this busy industry, what's a relaxing day to Shar look like?
SHAR: Oh I take full advantage of lazy days!!!! I will either spend it hosting movie night with my family , just lounging around the house or going to the spa. Self care is a priority!!!
STANDISH: If you could play one role, any role today, what would it be?
SHAR: So it's a tie between a super dark character in a psychological thriller or a bad ass super hero!
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
SHAR: I guess some of the ppl I study as far as the craft would be.... RDJ, Deniro, Angela Bassett, Gary Oldman, Denzel and Christina Applegate.... just to name a few
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
SHAR: Just worrying about ppls safety....
STANDISH: What advice would you give to another creative like yourself?
SHAR: Put in the work! Constantly learn! And don't let the 100s of NOs stop you because the first YES could be right around the corner!
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
SHAR: Luckily I'm a Dinosaur in this game so there's something in in everywhere...🤣🤣🤣
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include?
SHAR: I just want to tell ppl to be kind to each other... the world needs soooo much more of that.
STANDISH: What are your social links?
