I just know something feels off.
>> Something feels off indeed.
Darby Stanchfield stars in
"Locke & key."
>> She's very busy, she's
starring in the Disney show star
girl out next month.
>> Thank you for having me.
>> Congrats on everything.
>> We had William shatner on the
show.
He gave you some solid advice?
>> Yes, when I came to L.A. I
was completely green.
I was quite large in my craft.
>> Acting to the back of the
room.
>> I was, I was filling the
room.
He was directing a film and he
had these call backs.
And we went through the
sequence.
He was like, I love everything,
but now darling, I just want you
to think it.
I was like, oh, you're telling
me -- it was really good advice.
>> It was really good advice.
So just internalize it a little
bit.
The camera's right here.
It's not 4,000 people.
>> I love that you have a
theater background, though.
>> Master at that.
>> A master's degree.
>> Which led to "Locke & key."
Congrats.
>> Thank you.
>> It is trending number three
in the U.S. Right now.
Most watched, most binged show.
>> It's also over of all over
the planet.
>> It's number one in France,
number two in Belgium.
Number 7 in Indonesia about.
>> For those who may not have
caught it yet, what's the
premise?
>> It's about the lofk family, I
play the matriarch, Nina Locke
the mother of the family, they
witness the brutal murder of
their dad, these three kids and
Nina witnesses this mysterious
brutal murder.
To turn over a new leaf, she
takes his kids back to their
ancestral home, called key
house.
It's where Randall Locke grew
up, it's a house that's alive,
it has magical keys in the house
that whisper to the kids.
Each key, as the kids fined the
keys, find that each key has its
own magical power, it's kind of
murder mystery, it's total
fantasy magic.
>> Family friendly?
>> Super family friendly.
>> These keys do stuff, though?
>> Yeah, and the adults can't
see the magic in the world, so
they're also on their own sort
of journey, but -- and it's
called -- this nostalgic feel
like stranger things or the
gooneys.
>> What a cool premise right
there.
>> We were talking about how you
manage to pick projects.
And you take your time, and it
seems like you lead with why are
heart in a lot of these roles.
>> I do, yeah.
I would say -- scandal was so
different from "Locke & key."
Which is different from "Star
girl."
I'm passionate about telling
this story, Locke & key has a
ton of heart.
At the core of it, it's about
this family.
I could get emotional thinking
about the amazing company of
actors that are on this show.
We really had a good time
working together.
I think that comes across.
>> Congrats on that.
You're from a small town in
Alaska?
>> Dutch harbor Alaska.
>> How many people are we
talking?
>> Like in my high school,
middle school.
Maybe 50.
>> Really?
>> In the whole school?
>> Yeah.
Hopefully they're all bingeing
Locke & key.
That would help.
>> I've been to Anchorage
Cordova.
>> Beautiful, isn't it?
>> Yeah.
>> I love it, in the summertime,
I was shooting hoops, it's 10:00
at night and the sun is still
out.
>> Do you go back often?
>> Every so often I went back.
I went back a couple years ago
for a fishing trip with my
husband and my parents.
I had fish nor a whole year.
>> Speaking of fishing.
>> You got some skills when it
comes to knife work.
>> I do.
Should we go --
>> Is that right?
>> I'm going to take the center
so you guys can --
>> Are we gutting a fish right
now?
>> The grapefruit grows on the
tree, turn that to the side.
Chop off the end, chop off the
other end.
Then you have this wheel.
See like that?
Now you're going to go straight
where --
>> I think I've seen this video.
>> Straight down to the center.
Just --
>> To the center of the grape
fright route there.
>> Take your knife out.
There's a tutorial on my insta
stories.
You crack it open like this.
>> That's what's up.
>> See, look at that, and
then --
>> Turns out it's a different --
and then you just start slicing.
>> And you're good to go.
>> You have these sweet little
pieces.
>> Or you get some vodka and put
that in there.
>> There you go.
>> Or you just do the vodka and
forget the grapefruit all
together.
