MW- For people interested in checking out the show, what can they look forward to the most from this series? MB- But it’s all grounded with real care and love.
SP- We know each other’s nuclear buttons, we have the codes and we know how to get each other real riled up. MB- It’s like the people you love the most, a family member or a girlfriend or boyfriend and they drive you nuts because you know each other so well. It’s a fun dance to watch as they go through their hot and cold. SP- I think that’s what makes it fun to watch is each episode that goes by you watch them find their groove.
Over the series we start to find those parts of each other that we like and that serve us well. MB- It’s fun, it creates a lot of comedy because our characters approach every situation completely differently. Can you share how you two play off each other in these lead roles?

SP- A little bit! But we have a good time and really the one uniting factor is we all loved to be there, we wanted to be there and we considered ourselves so lucky to be there.
We’re all just kids who haven’t grown up yet…but we’re still professional! SP- It was that commonality where we all became a big family. MB- We steal a lot from all the great movies and shows from the past few decades. Their collective compendium of films is unbelievable, they can riff off each other all day. SP- Just the collective knowledge that Matt and one of the creators of our show, Stephen Scaia have.
When you share a passion for someone, the hours and the long days of making a show are so fun. MB- When you all have the same vision for something and you all grew up with the same types of shows and movies we all understood the show we’re making. MW- I’ve heard a lot of positives about this cast’s chemistry, what it been like on set? I always wanted to make a treasure hunter series with the DNA of Indiana Jones, it’s a dream show.
MB- I was a kid like probably every kid who wanted to be Indiana Jones, I wanted to be a professional treasure hunter…so I became an actor. I think coming through those old stomping grounds will be very nostalgic for viewers.
I keep telling my family and friends this show is every movie you’ve ever loved, The Mummy, National Treasure, you name it a flavor of that is in here. Then I read the script and met Lexi and the fact that I even have the honor of playing her was so many star aligning moments for me. SP- The title was the first thing, they had me at blood. What made each of you want to be involved in this project from the jump, Sofia why don’t we start with you? This show has a very unique concept, very different from a lot of what’s on TV. MW- very excited to talk about Blood And Treasure with the two of you. MW- Good morning Matt and Sofia! How are you both doing today?
