'Riverdale' actress Hayley Law spoke to WWD about finally finding her stride with her beloved comedy, with her new film at Tribeca.

“It’s so weird talking about myself,” says actor Hayley Law, adjusting to life back on the press beat, her first of the pandemic. Law has just flown into New York from her native Vancouver for the Tribeca Film Festival, where her movie “Mark, Mary & Some Other People” is premiering. Despite the weirdness, she is raving about the experience of having other people see the film and getting to talk about it.

Law’s connection to the film began via a mysterious text message, from a former director. She was going about her business when one day Brian Duffield, who directed her in the movie “Spontaneous,” sent her a text that simply said, “Hannah Marks?” “I love comedy so much. It’s what I want to do forever,” she says. “Right away I was hooked because of the comedy element, but there’s a lot of really good stuff and many messages, and I was just so excited. We didn’t even talk about if I was going to be in the movie or not — she was just telling me about the movie. And I was like, ‘um am I going to be Mary? Because I really want to be Mary.’”

She got a push to pursue acting when a friend of hers reported back that commercial work was a good starting point — and not bad pay, either.

U.S. Supreme Court rejects white supremacists' challenge to anti-riot lawThe U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away a free speech challenge to a federal anti-riot law brought by two members of a militant white supremacist group who pleaded guilty to crimes related to a deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Well here in Fl, rondesantis passed a law that if more than 9 people are gathered it is considered an illegal protest and people can run them over with a car and have immunity. Aren't these white supremacists (also trump supporters) claiming that BLM protests burned cities to the ground? Seems odd they would be against an anti-riot law. 🤔
