She is complicated, layered and modern in her thinking.MFM: What advice would you give to other young actresses who are facing restrictive stereotypes today?LV: My advice to younger actresses is to be picky, make good choices about the character in as far as, if the character is stereotypical is she integral to the story? Are you going to get enough screen time to show your work? If the answer is no then it%u2019s not worth it to subject yourself to playing yet another stereotypical role. Sometimes you have to say no.MFM: How do you relate to Kara on Being Mary Jane? What aspects of your own life do you bring to the role?LV: I relate to Kara%u2019s ups and downs being a working mom. It%u2019s hard to balance it all and feel like you%u2019re doing a good job. Kara sacrifices a lot more than I%u2019m willing to though, but I get her. I truly understand wanting to have it all!MFM: How does your fitness routine change while you%u2019re shooting a season?LV: When I%u2019m shooting it%u2019s actually hard to stick to my regimen because my work hours are long and erratic. So I%u2019m careful with my eating and I just try to fit it in wherever I can! MFM: What can we expect to see from Lisa Vidal in the next five years? What types of roles do you hope to play?LV: I hope to continue working on great shows and films and I%u2019d like to add directing and producingto my roster. I%u2019ve also always wanted to be in a film musical because I%u2019m also a singer and it has always been my first love. I love to play roles that champion and fight for justice and the underdog. A few of my upcoming projects are Rosewood and the upcoming feature film Victor.
