Justice recalls first seeing the original movie, The update includes a couple of vital returnees: conceived by Richard O’Brien (who also played Riff producer Lou Adler and co-star Tim Curry, alias Raff, now Carney’s role) and Jim Sharman, “when I was in Dr. Frank-N-Furter the first time and now the tale’s fifth grade. And then, I went to my first midnight showing narrating Criminologist. Laverne Cox (“Orange Is the when I was 15 ... with my mom, actually, and a couple of New Black”) succeeds Curry as the offbeat scientist, close friends of mine and their moms. And I just remember with Ryan McCartan (“Liv and Maddie”) and Victoria I’d never seen anything like it before in my life. Justice (“Victorious”) following Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as straitlaced couple Brad and Janet, stranded “I loved the music and I loved the campiness,” notes at a castle during a Transylvanian convention. Justice, “and just the color that the characters had and that the whole story had. It really is so unique. When I went “’Rocky Horror” always, in my particular case, had a mind to my first midnight showing, I remember wearing, like, of its own,“ Adler maintains. ”It sounds a little corny, but I fishnets and I had a red feather boa and red lipstick and waited for it – which is, basically, the fans – to tell us what I totally got into it. And it’s kind of just captivated me ever we do next. We started doing this television idea quite a since then.” while ago, and I guess it just wasn’t the right time.

Have you always been a fan of the genre? I actually grew up without a television and saw very few movies, so I’m a little bit ignorant when it comes to a lot of pop culture and television shows and so forth. But growing up, what I did see were the “Star Treks” and “Star Wars.” Those were the ones that we would actually make the trek, the long trek to the movie theater to go see. I think it’s an exciting genre and a genre that you can have a lot of wonderment and “What if?” You can pose questions about humanity and about survival and everything like that, but also have fun doing it. So, you never saw television when you were young? I grew up on a farm, and we had to work. So, we were out fixing farm machinery and driving tractors ... although, they did get a TV when my older sister started dating and the thing to do was go to watch movies at people’s houses, so movie night could be at our house. How have you found being on “Lucifer” so far? Joining the cast has been an incredible experience – a wonderful cast and crew, and a really fun character. (Charlotte’s nature is) revealed very quickly in the episodes, and it certainly adds a comedic element. But also, it’s a challenge for me in the way of going, “OK, here’s my sons,” and looking them in the eye. There’s a lot of miscommunication between mother and sons, on both sides, and each parent has their own relationship with each child. My relationship with Amenadiel (played by DB Woodside) is different than my relationship with Lucifer (Tom Ellis), so finding that common ground and finding how to be their motherly figure with all that’s going on and in their thousands of years of history, it’s been a lot of fun. She’s a layered character. FOLIO Click on icon for more!
