Not everyone is willing to suffer for their art, but Jenna Ortega is — well, at least the younger version of herself went to great lengths on set.
The Emmy-nominated actress and former child star reflected on her early career in an interview with Esquire released Tuesday, Aug. 11.
Before her breakthrough role as the no-nonsense Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton's dark comedy "Wednesday," Ortega began her career as a child actor at age 9. After appearing in several high-profile TV series and films, including "CSI: NY," "Iron Man 3," "Days of Our Lives" and "Richie Rich," Ortega landed a lead role in the Disney Channel sitcom "Stuck in the Middle," which she starred on from 2016 to 2018.
During her conversation with Esquire, Ortega, now 23, was asked what "rookie mistake you made on your first set," which prompted her to recall her strict approach to work.
"I really had it going for me as a child 'cause I can't think of one mistake I made. Is that a terrible thing to say?" Ortega told the outlet. "I feel like I make mistakes now all the time, but as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on."
