Edita Brychta
Edita Brychta is an actor and does voice work. I’ve interviewed her before and I am a fan. So decided to interview her again. So read on what she has to say.
1, What have you been working on recently?
I narrated an adult erotic book trilogy called THIS MAN by Jodi Ellen Malpas.
2. How is doing voice work and recording books different to acting?
It’s all acting…your voice has to be as truthful as if you were embodying the role. All that changes is that you can wear sweats and no make up, as you are never seen.
3. How are things different to you now from when you were starting out?
Obviously I don’t go up for ingenue roles anymore and there is more competition than ever, especially in Hollywood.
4. How does the Internet help you as an actor?
It helps greatly, not only for self promotion, but also for research.
5. What inspires you now when acting?
All the same things that have always inspired me…challenges and experiences in life.
6. Your an extremely attractive woman, how do you keep your self looking so good?
I swim a lot, walk the dog, eat well and don’t take myself too seriously!
7. What was it like to work on the series Tropical Heat(sweating bullets), Do you remember much of your time and experience on the show?
While I was on location, I had the opportunity to swim with dolphins in the Red Sea, which was an unforgettable introduction to my love of the ocean and those magnificent creatures. I also took a magical trek across the Sinai Desert on a camel and drank mint tea around a campfire with Bedouins. The filming gave me the chance to have those experiences and working with Lawrence Taylor was a riot!
8. What have you seen recently that has really inspired you?
There are 3 movies which I have seen recently which have stayed with me. AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY is a brilliant rendition of family disfunction, at the helm of which is the incredible performance by Meryl Streep. HER is a fascinating portrayal of what the future of relationships will be and Joaquin Phoenix is wonderfully invested in his character. And HUNT is a haunting Danish film which depicts a situation that get’s out of hand, like the worst nightmare anyone could have.
9. What does 2014 have in store for you?
I think you asked me that last time Chris and I have to repeat myself and say “time will tell”! But a couple of projects are definitely simmering!
10. What kind of role wouldn’t you play?
I have no restrictions…as an actor, I would take on anything that would have a valid message or a truthful purpose. The only refusal might be prompted by bad writing.

Thanks for this interview with Edita. I have been a fan of her since seeing her in ‘Maelstrom’ (BBC TV ) in 1985 a contemporary thriller story set in Scandinavia. Her performance in that, alongside lead Susan Gilmore ( Howards’ Way ), was a sign that Edita was destined for greater things and this has certainly proved to be so. I also recently saw Edita in an episode of ‘Lovejoy’ ( The National Wealth ) 1991 opposite Ian McShane and a ‘Murder She Wrote’ episode opposite Angela Lansbury. I have not seen her classical performances but was pleasantly, nay delighted, to see her appear in a number of recent productions. She is one of those actors who, when on screen, literally lights up the scenes they are in and you want to find out more about their characters. She, for me, shares many attributes with another personal favourite, actress Sarah-Jane Varley, who appeared in Howards’ Way (BBC TV ) as ‘Sarah Foster’ from 1986 – 1988 and who also lights up the screen with her performances. Edita portrays that tough exterior quality in her characters who, underneath the tough veneer, are actually quite vulnerable. Basing herself in Hollywood sadly has meant her much missed absence from our shores and a loss to the UK film, TV and theatre. Haste ye back Edita. And continued success all that she does. Thank you Chris for an all-to-brief but very interesting interview with this captivating lady. Best regards.
