The second interview I did for my Scrubs/Writer’s Strike article was on-set costumer Celeste LaChance.
Matt Knicl: What is your position on the show and what does that role entail?
-
Celeste LaChance: I work on the show as the on-set costumer. I am responsible for continuity, making sure that if we shoot part of scene 1 and then pick that same scene up a few days later, I make sure that they are in the proper change and the buttons or zipper or such matches. I work closely with the actors and the other crew members
Matt: What did you do during the Writer’s Strike?
-
Celeste: I had just sold my home in la. It was Christmas so I drove cross country to Maryland and then to Portland, Oregon where i have moved to. I worked on a Catherine Hardwick film called “Twilight” which was shooting there. I returned to la to work on Scrubs when they decided to pick it up for another eighteen episodes.
Matt: Did you need to find temporary employment elsewhere? Is so, what was that?
Celeste: I was out of work from December 17 until February 11th. It was the holidays and I was moving so I was very busy and not too affected by the strike.
Matt: Was the Writer’s Strike financially threatening?
-
Celeste: It would have been very very threatening to me and I would have been in an awful situation but I had just sold my LA home in August before the market tanked. If I had still had my exorbitant mortgage I may have lost my home.
Matt: Now that you are back to work, were there any benefits you can see for there being the Strike?
Celeste: I enjoyed having time off. It allowed me to move and see my family. I had a blast.
Matt: What is you favorite part of working on the show?
Celeste: I love the cast and the crew and most of all the laughter.
