'I fell in love with the grace and generosity of Nicole Kidman': interview with actress Eugenia Kuzmina

I always gasp with amazement at the opportunities that I have been given.  To play comedy opposite Bill Murray, Danny McBride and Scott Caan in Morocco was incredible!  I am gracious as a a girl who grew up in post-Soviet Russia who did not speaking English.  How did this happen!?  I believe that anyone can achieve whatever they desire if they are willing to work hard . I'm so greatful to Mitch Glazer who wrote the part of 'Gulla' for Rock The Kssbah.  I play a small role.  I play a bouncer in a Kabul night club.  Let's just say my character is as tough as nails!  I can so relate to that . I love playing a baddass .

Unfortunately my scene in Dirty Granpa was almost completely cut out.  They leave a line in and you can check it  out on my website http://www.eugenia-kuzmina.com/film-and-tv-reels/

Getting cut out was the best lesson to learn for me.  I learned that filmmaking is never about me as an actor.  It's not about my ego, it's about serving a story and if the scene does no serve the story it needs to be edited. Having done a few movies now, I see what it takes to make a movie and how many elements go into it . Usually small scenes get cut out first since the characters don't  have a big arc in the storyline.  I'm greatful to work on the set  and whatever happens after is out of my control !
