Merle Dandridge shares with IMDbPro her best advice for aspiring actors, how she learned to "be flexible, be unexpected, and be ready" on the set of The Flight Attendant, and more!3 of 6
IMDbPro: Do you have any mentors? How did you meet them and what have they taught you?
Merle Dandridge: I do have mentors. My teachers have always been great champions of mine. Directors and writers are also great cheerleaders. One director in particular pulled me aside and lit a fire under me…not just for the scene at hand, but the entire project we were working on. He STILL checks in and makes sure I’m never taking my foot off the gas.
