MY INTERVIEW WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BARBI CARUSO
(PRODUCER, PHOTOGRAPHER)
Hi Barbi and thanks for joining me on The Spiel!
Hi Lisa, thank you for inviting me.
Tell us a little about what you are working on at the moment.
We just started pre production on our new soap opera Winterthorne.
What is your guilty pleasure?
I love a great meal! When Michael and I can get a day off together we love to go out for Greek food. I also love random things like watching Law and Order Criminal Intent and Charmed reruns. I'm also a notorious sucker for taking selfies with my dogs.
What do you like doing more? acting, producing, directing, photography?
I'm not an actress, I enjoy the behind the scenes more. I love photography. That's my passion. Also I love producing. It's kind of my everyday life. I like to organize things and make things happen. Most of all I love that I get to create with my husband, Michael. We're a great team. Some husbands and wives aren't able to work together, but in 10 years we have never had that problem. I always look forward to working as a team!
Congrats on Winterthorne! How much will you be involved ?
Michael and I are the executive producers. Once he writes the show, just like DeVanity we go into production mode. We share many different hats. Set design, costume design, talent coordination and sound are all things I am involved in during production.
What is your favorite thing to do when you are not working?
I'm a huge animal lover and advocate, I spend my time with volunteering at a dog rescue called Love That Dog Hollywood. I help with the adoption events and most of all I take photos for all the dogs needs homes to help them get adopted faster. I also go to shelters and take photos of the dogs that needs most of the help. In a perfect world I wish they wouldn't need my help and there would be no homeless dogs.
Thanks Barbi! Pleasure to have you here!
Thank you so much for having me
