Gisele Shaw recalls how she landed a role on “Pennyworth.”
Speaking on Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show, Shaw described how she auditioned for some stunt work and wound up landing an acting role on the show. She noted that she did her own stunts for the part.
“Pro wrestling, I feel like, is stunt work. When I was actually in the UK I was approached by someone and then they go, ‘Hey, you know, we have some stunt work that we want you to do. Would you be interested to do it?’ I said, ‘Okay, yeah, sure.’ So, you know, they wanted me to send in my photos, like an audition tape type of deal, and they go, ‘Can you read lines for us?’ I go, okay, I didn’t know that stunt work, you have to read lines. But like, sure, why not, you know, I’ll read it.
“Then I read it and then they go, ‘Okay, cool. I really liked you for this part. You got the role.’ I go, ‘What role?’ I was like, ‘I thought I auditioned for stunt work.’ Then they go, ‘Oh, yeah. So you’re going to be doing your own stunt work, but you’re also going to be acting in it.’ I go, ‘Oh, okay. Cool. Awesome.’ So no, it was it was really cool. I loved it. It’s Warner Brothers’ ‘Pennyworth.'”
Shaw then explained that “Pennyworth” is the prequel to Gotham, the popular series based on Bruce Wayne and his evolution into Batman. She encouraged fans to watch it if they haven’t seen it.
“So it’s a prequel to Gotham,” she said. “It’s about Alfred Pennyworth, Batman’s Butler. This is when…before he became the Butler, so it’s pretty cool. It’s quite…it’s quite gory. But it’s amazing. And yeah, if you haven’t seen it, please watch it.”
Shaw debuted on IMPACT Wrestling earlier in 2022, and she continues to compete for the company.
