An all around creative, Abby Glover knew she wanted to act by the time she was 7-years-old. Although she was involved in local theatre, it wasn’t until she relocated to Nashville that things fell into place. Now you can catch Glover in some of your favorite shows such as Stranger Things and Ozark, and soon you can watch her in Netflix’s The Devil All The Time. She talked with Nyota about being raised on the Forensic Files and her advice for aspiring actors.

Growing up did you love to perform?

I grew up in a really small town in rural west Tennessee. By the time I was 7, I knew I wanted to act. I was completely obsessed with movies and my family and I would watch them (seriously) all the time. I didn’t have any opportunity around me for film, so I dove into local theatre. Really anything I could get my hands on. 10 years later, we relocated to Nashville, and that’s where I found a greater opportunity for film.

You’ve been in shows such as Stranger Things and Ozark. What did you take away from those experiences?

One thing I took away from those sets was that I am infatuated with doing period pieces. I love the process and the art behind how everything goes down, so seeing giant sets that make you feel like you traveled through time was so much fun.
