LIFETIME TELEVISION’S NIKKI LEIGH TALKS OPEN MARRIAGE
Lifetime Open Marriage
At Its a Glam Thing we are big fans of Lifetime television! We are so glad to have a new IAGT friend, actress Nikki Leigh. We caught up with Nikki to ask her a few questions about her starring role in the new Lifetime film, Open Marriage which airs this Saturday, January 14th .
Open Marriage is about Becca (Leigh) and Ron, a married couple whose marriage is less than exciting and has been lacking sexual sparks for some time. When their best friends tell them that they are engaging in an open marriage, Becca and Ron’s curiosity leads them to start swinging with their friends. Now that the spark in their marriage has been reignited, it does not come without a cost. Soon their anything goes world is filled with hurt, betrayal and heartache. As their marriage begins totally unravel, a mysterious stalker intervenes with the intent of driving them further apart, ending in bloodshed.
IAGT: Will you tell us a little bit about working on this film?
NL: Working on this film was such a beautiful experience. Director, Sam Irvin was such a pleasure to work with and really knows what he wants and wants to get out of you. Tilky, Jason, Kelly and I grew very close and we each put in a lot of time and effort into this movie. Everyday after we wrapped, we would all continue working by going over to someone’s place and run all the lines and scenes for the next day. The work ethic and amount of care for this film was undeniable and I am super blessed to have worked with actors who shared that.
IAGT: This film has some explicit subject matter. Will you us how you approached the material?
NL: I had so much care for this project and my co-stars so it made it easier to be comfortable with the subject matter. I trusted everyone who was a part of this film so that allowed for a pleasant experience. It could have been a totally different experience had I had a different actor playing my husband. I felt safe exploring the subject and the fact that this is a real situation or option for some couples made me relaxed. It is a serious subject and I give respect to those who are able to try something that might be out of their comfort level in order to save what is really important. As an actress, you have to be able to be in those peoples’ shoes and not come in with judgment.
IAGT: Do you hope women and men like this film and look at it with an open mind?
NL: You have to watch it with no judgment on the subject matter. I hope the women and men who see this film watch it with an open and adventurous mind so that they can really experience it and hopefully re-experience it. Remember that this is a Lifetime film. Many Lifetime films give us the ability to experience the playful, romantic, adventurous, thrilling and edgy sides of life. So allow this to thrill you and to have that exciting envelope pushing feeling of Lifetime greatness. Have a sinful time enjoying this film. Follow Nikki Leigh on social Media…
