It was great to speak to Catherine Bell, who has been on so many series and in many movies. I&#8217;ve spoken with Tom Stevens a few times before. They were both great in this movie. Even though the movie is about two felons, it has a humorous side to it that improves on the story. I enjoyed it. Also, there are many dogs, which elevates it even further.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with Tom Stevens and Catherine Bell of &quot;Jailbreak Lovers&quot; on Lifetime by Suzanne 6\/1\/22\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rKc3ghU69yM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Wonderful. Well, thank you all for coming to our Summer 2022 Virtual Press Day. Please join me in welcoming the stars of \u201cJailbreak Lovers.\u201d We have with us today executive producer and star Catherine Bell along with her costar Tom Stevens. First up is Tamara.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, how are you?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 I\u2019m good, Tamara, how you doing?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 I\u2019m good. Thank you. So Toby always followed the rules and did what was expected of her. Can you guys identify with the character\u2019s desire to be carefree, coloring outside the lines, not being perfect, or simply being wild and free for once?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Well, I think probably anyone could relate to that.\u00a0 Hopefully, people don\u2019t resort to this sort of a, (laughs) craziness but, you know, I think there\u2019s always that idea of, like, \u201cOoh, what if I, you know, broke the rules and did something wild for a moment.\u201d I think that\u2019s what \u2013 I wanted to at least give a sense of like \u2013 People are always going why would someone do this? Why would someone break the law and do something like this and, hopefully, we give you guys a little insight into where that comes from.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, and I agree. I think that every person needs to kind of check in on their life at some point and go am I coloring too within the lines, o do I need to go outside of my comfort zone, because I think out of your comfort zone, outside your comfort zone is where you really learn who you are.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR: \u00a0Wonderful. Thank you. Up next, we have a question from Suzanne. Suzanne, you may feel free to unmute.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi. Catherine, since you were a producer on this movie, did you have any influence over the tone of the movie? It\u2019s a little less serious than most Lifetime movies I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 You know, Katie Boland is our beautiful director. She brought her vision to this, which was this playful and high-energy and sexy and fun spirit. You know, I really &#8212; I think Tom and I both really enjoyed making this movie because it had all of that in it. It was just this fast-paced and just wild adventure that these two were on and, you know, definitely you have some say as a producer, but I got to say it all just kind of came together magically. There wasn\u2019t a whole lot to do except become this character on my end, you know.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 And that same for you, Tom?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, no, I mean, I didn\u2019t have the same kind of hand in it as Catherine did, but I mean it was what we brought kind of fit exactly what Katie wanted, what Catherine and I were doing, and it was just so fun to just &#8212; Like we shot so many scenes kind of like back to back to back to back and we always found like a fun way of connecting as these two people, because in the prison it was like a secret love, and then when we were out in the cabin it was more spontaneous and free, and every single time Catherine and I brought like a really strong connection and, yeah, it was just always fun. You know, every scene was always fun to shoot.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Well, thanks. It was fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 We joke we want to do a sequel. I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll happen. They\u2019re not together, but we had too much making it.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 As long as you have dogs. That\u2019s the good thing.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Right, exactly.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Prison pen pals and dogs.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Wonderful. Thank you, Suzanne. Up next we have Jamie. Jamie, you may feel free to unmute.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, thanks for talking to us today.\u00a0 So can you kind of talk about when you\u2019re doing something that\u2019s based on real people, like, how &#8212; Can you talk about balancing kind of what you pull from that versus what you\u2019re able to creatively add from yourself, for both of you?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Tom, you go.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Oh, you want me to go.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, Jamie, good to see you again.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 You too.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, it\u2019s I think with John, he &#8212; like with Maynard, uh, there wasn\u2019t a lot about him.\u00a0 There\u2019s kind of the story.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot of Moll and like of everything that she went through, but for John it was kind of more free for me to just bring the foil to her husband, do you know what I mean? Like I had to represent something that was something that she was missing in her life, and it was a more free experience to build the character rather than actually like, you know, having interviews that I could bounce off of, like Catherine obviously had.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah. I, on the other hand, had a lot of interviews, and I watched all the ones that I could find of Toby.\u00a0 Obviously, I don\u2019t look anything like her so I gave that up quickly.\u00a0 But there\u2019s an essence to her that I tried to get.\u00a0 You know, there\u2019s just she\u2019s got that little bit of the Kansas accent and, yeah, just this sweet woman who really just was totally taken by surprise by this guy, and it just completely altered the course of her life.\u00a0 But, yeah, it was a lot of fun trying to become this woman who is very different than myself.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you so much, both of you.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Thanks, Jamie.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you, Jamie.\u00a0 Up next is Mike Hughes. Mike, feel free to unmute.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay. There we go. Okay, cool. Probably shortly after you finish this another real-life case like this came up in Alabama where someone escaped with (inaudible). I was wondering did this give you like special interest in it? Did you kind of follow that news story extra special? Do you may root for them or anything like that?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 I mean, you know, yeah, it was unbelievable that that happened. It was like, okay, life imitating art imitating real life, you know. It\u2019s interesting that this happens a fair amount, you know, that these guys are in this unusual situation in a prison and fall for each other. The idea for me of crossing that line and going, \u201cYeah, let\u2019s break out of jail,\u201d I mean, really, you\u2019re never going to get away with it, you know. That one ended very tragically but, yeah, it\u2019s just fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 You didn\u2019t root for them &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Were you rooting for them, Catherine?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Was I (laughs), I mean, I don\u2019t think &#8212; no, I wasn\u2019t really thinking about it either way. It was very, very sad, of course, how it ended but, yeah, I would have preferred a happier ending than that, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah. And we kind of tell &#8211; we kind of tell the fictitious fun side of this, and I mean the true story between Toby and John is, you know, a little darker than this like in reality than the story that we told, and I\u2019m sure that that story was darker, too. So, I mean, we can have with this because we\u2019re making a movie about it but, you know, these people were going through something.\u00a0 Yeah, it\u2019s more serious when it\u2019s real.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Wonderful. Thank you, Mike. Up next we have Jay Bobbin. Jay, feel free to unmute.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, folks. Hi, Catherine. How are you?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Hi, Jay.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, good to see you.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Hi, Jay.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Catherine, question for you. You\u2019ve done non-edgy for so many years now.\u00a0 To step back into something that is decidedly edgy, an actor acts, obviously, that\u2019s their profession, but was it an easy thing for you or did it take working up to this a little bit having done Cassie for so many years?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah, you know what? It\u2019s always challenging to me, which is probably why I love acting so much.\u00a0 It\u2019s never just like, oh, a piece of cake.\u00a0 Like it\u2019s like, oh, who is this person, and in the beginning you don\u2019t know who they are or how to become them and watching her interviews and kind of just trying to work on that was a beautiful challenge. I really loved it &#8211; really, really love stepping into this. And, yeah, edgy, edgy and also a very kind of withdrawn, like kind of toned-down person as well, someone who\u2019s not so confident or whatever. So it was just a lot of fun for me to play all of those things.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thanks a lot.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, it was fun to witness, actually. It was fun to watch you build the character, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Thank you. We had so much fun together.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 I know.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you, Jay.\u00a0 Up next we have \u201cStarry Constellation Magazine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Well, Tom, they say you should never work with ids and animals onscreen, and you worked with a number of dogs. Talk about the training you went through for dog training.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 So I\u2019m an advocate for Cesar Mila and everything that he does with behavioral science and dog science, and I have a dog of my own that I have put through a rigorous training, and it comes naturally to me to be around animals and to be like an alpha or like a calm sort of presence with them. So that wasn\u2019t hard for me.\u00a0 What was when the dogs didn\u2019t care that I was a calm presence or authoritative presence, and they were like my trainer\u2019s behind the camera, and I could do whatever I want right now for the next thirty seconds while the cameras are rolling, and he starts eating a toy in the middle of our scene.\u00a0 So there\u2019s like there\u2019s certain things that you can\u2019t control when like a dog\u2019s just on the side, and he just kind of starts doing his own thing, but there\u2019s like a lot of things that you can do to just be like the calm presence for the dogs that they respect. They say don\u2019t work with animals because animals are in the moment, and the audience will always be drawn to them, so it kind of forces you to be in the moment with the dog, and then it\u2019s interesting for the audience to watch.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Awesome. Thank you. Up next we have Cynthia Horner.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Hi.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Hi, hi, hi.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 I would like to ask both of you this question what is a memorable behind the scenes moment that you can tell us about when you were filming?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Hm.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Hm.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 There were a lot, there were a lot.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 I instantly thought of the car chase stuff.\u00a0 That was just so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 That was so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah. Actually, driving and then on the top of the truck where they\u2019re towing you and you\u2019re pretending there\u2019s so much going on. We had some good laughs.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 And getting arrested. I think I loved the feeling as when we got out of week one, when we got out of the prison. I mean we were shooting a prison movie so a lot of it had to be done on location in this corrections facility, and it felt very much like repeated scenes, like we were doing like similar scenes over and over and over again in this box, and then when we got out of that week it was like this freedom just opened up, and it really felt like the characters got to like go and see new places, and go to different restaurants, and do all this stuff. It was very much what the character is going through. So I love that like transition into the Toby and John being free period.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 True. I also really loved all the stuff in the cabin. It was just such a tiny, little cabin and our whole crew really bonded. Just it was, you know, just &#8212; It was Halloween, too, right, and the crew came in with the crazy costumes on and we were in our Toby and John costumes &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 In our little, yeah &#8212; And it like nearly drowned us in rain. It was pouring rain so hard. It was like flooding around the cabin, it was crazy. And then our DP is in a Sumo suit, and it was hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Wow, you guys had great stories to tell. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 No worries, Cynthia.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Thank you, Cynthia.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Wonderful. Thank you, Cynthia. Up next we have Rick Bentley. Rick?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, can you hear me?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL: (Inaudible @ 00:14:32).<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Great. I\u2019m sorry. Hey, Catherine, I\u2019m just curious. This sort of ripped from the headlines, it\u2019s something that\u2019s been going on for years, and obviously there\u2019s a big audience for that out there, do you think it\u2019s a situation of people being sort of living vicariously through these wild moments or is it there by the grace of God goes me?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Oh, man. You know, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s just that natural curiosity that all humans have of like what is going on in someone\u2019s else world, you know. And, yes, this is a crazy world. It\u2019s something that, hopefully, most people will never experience, and then there\u2019s that other, you know, the concept of what were thinking? Why would somebody do that? So, hopefully, they get a little taste of that with what Tom and I did, you know, just the how they fell in love and what led this to this crazy idea that they might get away with running away together, you know.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Awesome. Thank you, Rick. Up next is Luaine Lee. Luaine.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Yeah, Catherine, you were talking about the challenge and how you really adore the challenge in acting, and you\u2019ve been doing it a long time, so what is it that you like best about acting and television, and what do you like the least?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 In television as opposed to film you mean or just in general, acting?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Well, just in general acting.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah. I think I love so much about it. I love the process. I love the finding the character, and as I mentioned, the challenges of that, it keeps me on my toes and always wanting to improve and be better and even up until the scene is over, you\u2019re still okay, \u201cWell, the next take I want to try this. I want to do that. I want to make this better or different.\u201d I love the camaraderie, and there\u2019s just such a sense of family on these shows that you do together, movies, shows, whatever. You just meet such beautiful people, and so much I love about it. I love the effect it has on people when they\u2019re watching it. I think probably I love the adventure of travel and going to different locations, but sometimes that\u2019s challenging for my family, you know, just to be away so much, so that\u2019s probably, if I could say here\u2019s something I don\u2019t like about it, sometimes that gets challenging. But, again, you just &#8212; I\u2019 m so grateful for what I get to do, so I got no complaints.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 So what\u2019s the worst part of it?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah, I think that, you know, being along in a hotel room for weeks at a time, especially in COVID.\u00a0 There was one stretch I took my son to Toronto for \u201cGood Witch\u201d. It was thirteen weeks away from home. I couldn\u2019t go back and forth because of the travel quarantine. That was intense.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, wow. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah, thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you, Luaine. And then we have Steve (Gitmo @ 00:17:26). Steve?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION: \u00a0Hey, how are you guys?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Hey, good.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 I\u2019m good.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Good. I just wanted to ask how familiar were you or at all familiar with this story? Was it all kind of news to both of you when you got the script?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 I haven\u2019t heard of it at all. When I started telling people about it a lot of people remembered seeing it on the news. It was on \u201cDateline\u201d and \u201cAnderson Cooper\u201d and all of that, but I hadn\u2019t heard of it at all. You, Tom?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah, no, same. The escaping out of prison in a dog crate. I think it maybe a rang a bell but maybe I\u2019m like, yeah, maybe that\u2019s just a logical way to sneak out of prison.\u00a0 But the case itself I hadn\u2019t heard anything about it, then I started reading the script, and it was just so fun.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 And, Tom, can you actually fit in a dog crate?<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Easily, easily. That dog crate was too easy to fit into. I wanted a smaller one. I wanted to do contortion, you know.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thanks so much.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Awesome. Thank you.\u00a0 And we\u2019re going to be wrapping here momentarily but I see two more hands are up. Jamie from SciFi Vision, did you have another question?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Yeah, I can go again. I was going to ask about the dog crate, but so what did the two of you learn about yourselves from working on this show either as performers or just as people in general?<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Ooh.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Ooh.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Wow. Tom, do you want to answer? I want to think about that.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 I think what I learned about myself was it\u2019s &#8212; With all the challenges that came with this there\u2019s a lot of layers to John and playing John, and when I ever felt like I was kind of lost in it all I knew I had to do was connect with Catherine, and I don\u2019t know if I learned that about myself, but I did learn that I can trust in Catherine whenever I feel like I\u2019m lost in a scene. Is that me learning something? I don\u2019t know. I learned that about Catherine.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Hm, thank you. Yeah, I had such an incredible time working with you and our connection. It was just really, really special; really, just like you said, you just look in your eyes and it was like all there, and I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 It was probably just a great realization that I can do this sort of a role, which was so different for me and being able to trust in you and just making that happen. It was so magical.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Well, thank you and I enjoyed it, so.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Thank you, Jamie. We loved it, too.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Awesome, and now our final question is from Mike Hughes. Mike?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Yeah. I\u2019ll just ask real briefly, all your impressions of working when you were in the correction facility there, it looked like it wasn\u2019t a high security one. It looked like it was maybe medium or a low-security facility. Nothing struck you about it there and did you get a chance to interact with the prisoners at all? Were they friendly to you? Just give us your overall impressions.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CATHERINE BELL:\u00a0 Yeah. Well, it wasn\u2019t an active prison, so it was actually shut down. So, but still I, for me, it was very &#8212; And, Tom, you were the one in the cell, but so cold, so impersonal. I can\u2019t even imagine being in a cell like that for years or for life. It\u2019s just wow, where I really just realized what that experience could be like, just a little taste of it.<\/p>\n<p>TOM STEVENS:\u00a0 Yeah. Again, it\u2019s an old youth center, so it\u2019s a youth correction center in Burnaby that we were shooting in and all the other prisoners were background so, you know, not actual prisoners, but I did get a chance on my other show in Halifax I got to talk to a lady on our crew who had spent four months in prison that year on a charge that she was serving from years prior. It just all caught up with her, and she\u2019s a good friend of mine and we sat down and just like hatch &#8212; She gave me as much insight on what living in prison was like, and I just asked for words that would come up in her mind every day, like what\u2019s something that you would think every single day, and frustration is a big one, and you can feel frustrated places like that because it, like Catherine said, it\u2019s so confined and so isolating, and there\u2019s no time, and you just &#8212; It\u2019s very plain and uncomfortable. Like there\u2019s no cushions. So you can imagine a human being whose mind needs stimulation become completely frustrated in a situation like that.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you.
