"Some of the best moments take place not in the dialogue so much as the glances exchanged between characters. Dozens of emotions dance across Olivia Rorick's face as she moves from flirtation and coy to overly tough to heart breathtakingly vulnerable. Rorick knows exactly how to play each moment with such a conviction as to make you believe that shes lived in the skin of this character for a very long time." Karen Tortora-Lee The Happiest Medium
