TV INTERVIEW: KANDYSE MCCLURE
Speed Date: 'Battlestar Galactica' Alum Takes On Netflix Original Series, 'Hemlock Grove'
In a world that seems to spin faster by the day, where social networking allows us to make friends with one another at a click of the mouse, we may be able to see what people have tagged or who they’ve ‘poked,’ but it can sometimes be difficult to really get to know someone and what they’re about. Feeling friendly, cutting to the chase, and learning something about current film and television artists who represent the best of what they do, Buzzine has set a table and would like to introduce you to your Speed Date:
What is your name and where do we know you from?
Kandyse McClure. Most people remember me as Dee on Battlestar Galactica.
Where are you right now? Can we get a picture to prove it?
At the GSUS Industries warehouse and office in Toronto. Sure, as soon as I finish eating this beef patty.....
If we were being set up on a blind date, what 3 things would your mom tell my mom about you?
That home cooking wins over fancy restos anytime, small gestures mean the world and that I have a weird thing with balloons so flowers are best.

Eating a chocolate glazed donut with the late songstress, Aaliyah.
What are the best online places for fans to find out more about you?
Anything more to add?
Better not, don't want to give it all away on the first date ;-)
