The greatest challenge Hill has faced in her career is a pervasive fear of diversity. Her father is Caucasian, her mother Japanese. “We are all more similar than we are different,” she says. “The good news is, there are more diverse writers, producers, directors, and actors than ever before. This makes for a much more exciting expression of creativity.”
Hill enjoys inspiring others to follow their heart. “Open yourself up to life. Explore the planet and other cultures. You will discover what makes you feel alive,” she says.Perdita Weeks plays the role of Juliet Higgins, whom she describes as “the major-domo of the estate of elusive author Robin Masters. She is currently putting skills learnt in the service of MI6 to partner with Thomas Magnum as a private investigator.
Weeks, who is British, started her career as a child actor in commercials at age 6, when she was scouted by a talent agent. At 21, she got her first major role, in the miniseries. She learned to speak some Hebrew to play an Israeli who was returning to Israel for her national service. “The project required immersion into an entirely new culture, which I thoroughly enjoyed,” Week says. “This gave me a desire to throw myself into the industry.”...
To people looking to tap into their life purpose, Weeks offers this advice. “I think a state of constant learning and expansion is something that we should all strive to achieve. Find a space where you are not too comfortable. Also, be prepared to be the hardest worker in the room. Finally, remember that Morgan Freeman did not get his big break until he was 49 years old, so keep trucking! It just might not have happened yet.
