Those couple of things were so wonderful to dive into, as an actor.
What were the biggest challenges that came with a role like this?
ALLO: One of them was the effects part of it.
It was like, Okay, when we say action, everybody freeze, and then well stop.
Andy, you step out, and then everybody unfreeze.
So, it was about working out how to make my appearances and disappearances seamless.

And then, character wise, another challenge was that Nora exists in both worlds.
Shes in reality, but also in Lakeview.
That was a bit of a challenge, but an exciting one cause I got to do things twice.

How do you feel about this entire concept of uploading yourself and essentially living within a digital world?
ALLO: Ive thought about it a lot, and I love analog.
Sometimes I wish I could just not have a phone or any equipment.

Thats hard to beat, especially now.
I feel like Im living Noras life because so much of her life is talking to people through screens.
So, I would upload.
Uploading, in this afterlife, is a chance to explore that.
What did you enjoy exploring with that dynamic, and having Robbie Amell to play that relationship with?
ALLO: I really lucked out.
Hes really such a great partner in crime.
I really couldnt have asked for anyone better.
We just hit it off, which is so great.
Sometimes you dont get that, but we really did.
ALLO: What I love with her dad is that they have such a love for one another.
She desperately wants him to upload, and hes like, No, I dont believe in it.
I really enjoyed those moments between Nora and her dad, really connecting.
And then, Nora with Aleesha is a little lighter.
Aleesha shakes Nora out of her seriousness.
Do you have any personal favorite moments in their relationship, from the season?
ALLO: There are so many.
Shes got this mischievous and prankster side.
Shooting that scene was really fun.
Every time I see it, it makes me smile.
ALLO: Luckily, its a good song, so we enjoyed it.
It was so much fun, but Robbie does not sing.
How was it to also wear the virtual reality headset and act with it on?
ALLO: You really had to rely on your imagination cause you were looking at nothing.
But it was really cool to play with all of the technology.
Greg has built this insane world thats so in depth.
I really loved it.
It was a lot of fun, exploring the technology.
Whats it like to work and collaborate with Greg Daniels?
ALLO: Its totally both.
Its trusting his genius.
He spent a long time working on this.
He knows it better than I do, so I trust that.
He also gives you such a strong foundation to jump off of, as an actor.
There would be moments where wed be on set and hed say, Well, whats funnier?
Can you think of a funnier joke here?
Can we make it better?
It really felt like this space where we could just play, and we did.
I would try some things, and sometimes it would work, but sometimes it wouldnt.
It was all for bringing this thing to life, in the best way possible.
