00:00 While life in the spotlight can be glamorous, Malaysian actress Melissa Campbell remains down to earth.

00:06 If you've ever watched the classic film Anna and the King, you would have caught a young Campbell

00:19 in the role of a princess. Fast forward to 2023 and Campbell now holds a supporting role in Amazon

00:26 Prime's That Cover Girl, quite the achievement for a 32-year-old. Despite her success and time

00:33 spent overseas, she's still very much a Malaysian lass. She remembers being enamored with performing

00:45 even as a child. Fun fact, her first unofficial acting role was in a nativity play.

00:51 I know and I remember being so committed to the part of like rocking this like plastic baby doll.

00:56 While working on Anna and the King, Campbell saw the magic of acting and knew she wanted in.

01:03 That's really cemented for me like, gosh this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

01:08 And now that she's an adult in the acting world, Campbell has seen

01:12 what it has to offer. She would be the first to say it's not an easy road to take.

01:18 You're facing a lot of dejection. Putting my head down and focusing on the work.

01:22 If you are committed and you're dedicated, people can see it.

01:26 Compared with Malaysia, Hollywood she said is dangerously competitive.

01:31 It's like you have to jump through so many hoops just to be seen. You know, it's not as easy as

01:39 submitting yourself for an audition. So what's That Cover Girl about?

01:46 The series follows a fashion mogul, her life and the many scandals and conspiracies that follow her.

01:52 Campbell plays Sue Ann, the protagonist's best friend.

01:58 She's clever, she's smart, she's witty and she has some great zingers in the show.

02:04 So she's a practical person, she's not an emotional person but she is fiercely fiercely loyal.

02:09 With many more roles on the way, Campbell remains optimistic about her future.

02:15 If somebody watches something that I did or a part of something that I did in a show and

02:22 they come out of it learning something about themselves, that's really what brings me joy.

02:28 Because that's what film and TV was for me, you know.

02:32 Tivya Ragu and Noelle Wong, FMT Lifestyle.
