Interview with the actress Dedee Pfeiffer, 'Big Sky' is the new tv series

I have been acting since I was 18 years old. Ten years ago, I realized I not only wanted to help people, but needed to help people. Volunteering all over the place in between acting jobs just wasn’t cutting it any longer for me. Not having a clue about how the academic world works, I thought I could earn one of those things called “a degree” in a year…maybe two years…? HA!  Boy was I wrong! While entering college, I discovered that I had some learning disabilities and I was a single mom with two young boys in tow and life was throwing me obstacles along the way. These were all factors (to mention a few) as to why it took me so long to get through college. Giving up was certainly an option (and trust me when I say I wanted to multiple times), but being a mother who always tells her sons that giving up IS NOT an option, I trudged through and literally just graduated while starting the filming of this show.
