character actress

In addition to her many other fun jobs, Killian also works as mascots or interactive characters for parties and other special events.

“I had the opportunity to take some non-traditional acting classes,” Killian said. “And I realized that I really loved playing roaming characters and interacting with the audience.”

From the Kansas City Mavericks mascot, Cheese, and “Paw Patrol” characters to Wonder Woman and Professor McGonagall, Killian has performed as a variety of interactive characters for many diverse events. She enjoys performing without the limitation of the fourth wall.

“I would rather do something where I can roam around in character than be on a proscenium stage,” Killian said.

This character work can be very difficult because nothing is scripted. All of Killian’s actions have to be spontaneous and authentic to the character.

“Sometimes I embarrass myself while performing,” Killian said. “But that’s part of my job. I love that I can just go out there and be a goofball.”
