The Anna Mountford Interview

How did you get the role in Holby City?

ANNA:My agent sent me up for Holby, they were looking for all the new characters for Otter and they decided I was right for Keri

Did you ever watch Holby City before you Starred in it?

ANNA:Not really. I was sent some eps to view when I was auditioning and after I got the part.

If you could be any other Character in Holby City, which would it be?

ANNA:I wouldn't want to be any other character!!

How would you describe your character Keri McGrath in 3 words?

ANNA:Feisty, Committed, Sincere

You've had one of the main storylines the 4th series, How did you feel about getting the date-rape story?

ANNA:I was thrilled to get the rape story. However, it has meant that Keri has had to "go quiet" for a long time. I have missed playing the more humorous side of her character.

When is your Birthday?

ANNA: 11th February (every year!!)

What's your favorite colour?

ANNA:Blue/green (is that cheating?)

Do you have any brother's or sister's?

ANNA:No, just me!! My parents wanted more but it was a very complicated birth and we almost didn't make it so they didn't push their luck

Where do you see yourself in 10 years time (yeah that old question)?

ANNA: I'm actually setting up a base in California in the next year, so-I'll be in the US. I'd like to be able to work both in Britain and the States

If you weren't an actress what would you be?

ANNA:Probably something with horses although it's been so long since I rode..

What was your first ever acting role?

ANNA:First adult professional role was in Starlight Express but I've been acting since i was very young

What other TV or Film programme would you like to be in?

ANNA:I am keen to return to film work this year, this is where my heart lies, but I also enjoy the American TV series like Sex and the City, The West Wing etc. and would love to be involved with something like that. They always have such high production values

"Very Annie Mary" a fantastic film, How did all that come about?(I have been Told by Emma Short from the Holby City Office when we came down to see her that you actually talk in a welsh accent?!)

ANNA: Again, my agent put me forward for the role in Annie Mary. I speak exaclty the way I speak on Holby but I often "put on" a welsh accent, for comic effect, especially around Emma to try to get a smile out of her!

Do you think you'll be staying for the 5th series of Holby City or will you be moving on?

ANNA:I am definitely moving on!

Would you rather leave Holby with a big bang or would you like it to be left open?

ANNA:I think a bang would be more fun!

Thanks Anna!!
