Jade, thanks for coming to do this for the sub, we really appreciate it!

Q: Being one of the few major characters in the TV series who don't have a direct equivalent in the books, how did you go about developing the character? Did you think you had more freedom to invent the role or do you think it was more difficult not having as much source material of which to work off?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Great question! So... when I first read for the role, I had a very specific idea of who Kady was. It was my interpretation of the writers description of the role. So I think from the get go it was a meld of their vision and mine. As it is with any actor/ writer collaboration. And as we went into the pilot, Sera had a specific direction as far as Kady's wardrobe went which definitely informed my character.

Besides that they gave me the freedom to run wild. That said, I did have a lot of freedom with her since she isn't in the books a whole lot. It makes it fun and challenging and definitely keeps me on my toes since I am only going off of the scripts.

[–]IceKool92 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thanks for doing this Jade.

I wanted to know, is it hard to memorize/do the hand movements for the spells?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 54 ポイント55 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You know... I actually don't find it very difficult. But I have been a dancer and gymnast most of my life so the physicality is pretty easy for me. Some of the other actors would definitely disagree though. Haha!

[–]_LeggoMyEggo_ 58 ポイント59 ポイント  (1子コメント)

With Dumbledorf dead, will they just spend more time in Narnia?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 43 ポイント44 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ha! It is a good mix of all fantasy films isn't it. 😊

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well... I can tell you that she and I have spoken about it and would definitely be open to that. I personally believe Kady is very sexually fluid. However, if it happens we would want it to be something that honored the lgbtq community and not just be about them hooking up.

[–]paperjenna 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Thanks so much for answering! It means a lot that you would want the relationship to be positive rep for the LGBTQ+ community. Here's hoping!

[–]nevarrenOur Lady Underground 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

wait the question is gone now (couldn't be there during the AMA)...what did it say????

[–][deleted] 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (3子コメント)

When it comes down to doing the Tutting for the many spells, does everyone do the same movements for the same spell or does everyone put their own spin on it? Also, who is the most fun to hangout with during breaks on set?

Also, Kady is amazing!!! She needs to come back and cause some trouble!

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (0子コメント)

We actually have an amazing choreographer (Paul Becker) that works with each of us individually to create the best tuts for our character and for the actors own capabilities.

During breaks, they are all pretty great. But I would have to say Jason or Hale. The three of us are a bunch of goofy theater nerds so we have a lot of fun playing around 😂

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

And don't worry, she'll be back to cause some mischief soon enough!

[–][deleted] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

YAY!!!! Can't wait to see you back in action!

[–]Quentin_M_ColdwaterMinor Mendings 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (5子コメント)

What's the vibe like on set? It seems like everybody's cool and it would be fun, but at the same time the scripts often have pretty heavy subject matter.

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's pretty amazing actually. We work in Vancouver. I don't mean to stereotype, but Canadians are SO nice! We are lucky to have the best crew, and our writers and producers are the best I've ever worked with! And as actors we all surprisingly get along really beautifully. It's like a family. Especially this last year. We all got really close. But it's like a family so it isn't without its moments. But luckily our moments are few and far between. It's truly magical to work with everyone.

[–]fitnerd21 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think you get honorary Canadian status for apologizing for saying that Canadians are nice.

[–]Quentin_M_ColdwaterMinor Mendings 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is Vancouver a noticeably nicer place to shoot than LA or NYC? How much does that affect the actual goings-on of the set?

Also, thanks for swinging by!

Let's say magic were real like it is in the series. Would you rather be a Brakebills trained magician or a hedge, and why?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Hmmm... hedge witch I think. Cause I think hedges are experiential learners and come from the school of life. And some things just can't be taught in books they need to be experienced.

[–]locdogg 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Follow up, as a performer, do you ever get attached to your character to the point that some lines/scenes upset you? For example, did Mayakovsky's nickname "sultry yet stupid" make you go, "Hey, Kady isn't dumb. Her situation is just really effed up and she's hanging on"?

[–]bostonjenny81Physical 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can you tell us anything about Julia and Kady's dynamic this season? Hoping to see them grow much closer!

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah! They definitely get closer in many ways but also have a lot of tension arise because of their circumstances. It is definitely dramatic in many ways. You'll have to tune in to see what I mean

[–]Cptben94Knowledge 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hi Kady, not really a question just wanted to say I loved the books and enjoy how the show has followed the books, but departed in some ways. Keep up the great work!

Hi!! Thank you so much! That means a lot 😊❤

[–]mw19078 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I can't tell you how much I love your different hair in every episode. Is that kind of thing planned or do you guys just decide on your own?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

They created one look to start with and then I think I just wanted to change it up a bit so requested that we play around with it. So we did. This season might be a little different though 😉

[–]PorkRindSalad 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]liamquane 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Do you have any writing advice?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just to start! That is the biggest step. Just sitting down and doing it. Also, take a course. Even if you're an expert writer there is always more to learn.

I think it's vital to know the basics of story telling. Some books: Save the Cat, or The Writers Journey to name a few.

I had a writing teacher once say just start with ten minutes a day and then it becomes a ways of life and before you know it, you have a script

Thanks for swinging by! It's great to have you.

Compared to a more realistic story, is shooting for all the VFX shots more or less fun? It seems like it would be cool to have magic but also a pain to have to act to things that aren't there.

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Great to be here!

We are actually REALLY lucky. Our art and creative department make most of the effects practical so we don't have to imagine all that much. I think I've only had to use a green screen a couple times.

It can be challenging at time, but that forces me to use my imagination more. Which is why I do it, so I don't mind.

[–]Amber2391 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If you could make up a spell of your own what would it be?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A spell to heal people and create empathy in the world. As corny as that sounds, I think it's what the world needs right now.

[–]djpaisley 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

@jadetailor - dare we ask why you were not in this first episode? Where did you go? =) - Q2.. has "Kady" been to Fillory?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well... if I told you that, I'd have to kill you. Just kidding! Can't tell you where... only that she may not be in the first couple episodes. But she'll be back and may not be in fillory... but she's definitely in a dark place.

[–]TheWhiteHunter 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A "dark place". Emotionally... Or physically? 😁

[–]holayeahyeahPsychic 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If you had to boil your character's arc for this season down to one word, what word would you pick?

(I figure limiting it to a single word makes it more of a hint than a spoiler.)

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hopefully this won't do it... but... vulnerability 😉

[–]LascielCoin 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Hi Jade, thanks for doing this :)

Two questions from me:

1) What is your favorite thing about Kady, and are you actually able to relate to her as a person?

2) If you could play any other character in the Magicians universe, who would it be and why?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Favorite thing is how strong she is and unafraid to speak her mind. I definitely relate to her in some ways but think I learn from her when it comes to her strength and speaking her mind.

And I'd definitely play Eliot. Haha! I'd love to play a king 😉

[–]LascielCoin 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Solid choice!

Thanks for answering :)

[–]DarthVilgrath101 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I LOVE Eliot and Margo together. ☺

[–]liamquane 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hi Ms. Tailor, can I ask, what's the best thing a director can do for you on set? Thanks :~)

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good question. I don't know if there is a "best thing." I can only tell you that I love directors that are open to talking about the characters motives and delve deep into their pathology. Some directors are move visual and about what shots we are getting and I much preferred to communicate in that way. No right or wrong. Just my preference.

[–]liamquane 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What is Chris Fisher like as a director?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's great! Love working with Fish. He is really laid back yet has a very clear vision and sense of direction. A pleasure to work with

[–]paperjenna 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hey Jade! Thanks so much for answering our questions :) I know myself and several other fans have been wondering: is there any chance Kady and Julia could become romantically involved? Is that something you and Stella would be up for?

[–]liamquane 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Do you have any advice on getting a project produced?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good question... I think it is always helpful to have some material whether it's something you've shot in the past, or even better would be a teaser or a short for people to see the feel and tone of the project. People want to invest in things that you are invested in. That's how I've done it. Even submitting a short form version to festivals. Festivals are always a great way to go.

[–]liamquane 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What ia your writing process like, do you plan methodically or just jump straight in? :~)

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I definitely plan. I love writing true stories about powerful women. With that said, I like to do my research and really know they person and their story before delving in. It helps my to conceptualize and also feeds me creatively.

[–]Dane-Bramage 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Q: Hi! It's great to see you as part of the ensemble, "Ms. Sultry but damaged"! How was it - your first year as a bona fide member of geekdom? It can be overwhelming I would think! Do you have a favorite genre of literature? How about film? What are your favorite books and films (you can have up to 3 for each)?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lots of great questions... it's been an incredible year. Weirdly not overwhelming at all though. I love it!! Dream come true.

I would have to say Fantasy all the way! But I do love anything inspirational as well. Favorite books: The Magicians (of course) Celestine Prophecy and Song of Solomon.

Favorite films: I have way too many to name. I'll just say the movies I grew up on cause they impacted me the most. Fantasy wise, Princess Bride, Hook and Lord of the Rings. 😊

[–]KushTheKitten 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hey really awesome you're doing this. Quick question, as a struggling trans writer trying to produce her first feature what tips would you give me?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

First, don't look at yourself as struggling. You are in a place of learning. We all are at all times. But how you view your scenarios I think often can stifle you both as a person and creatively.

But to quote Carrie Fisher, "make it into art!" Whatever your struggles or challenges may be, let that drive your creativity. Write what is in your heart to write, what moves you, what inspires you. I think when we write what we love, it inspires other to love it and relate to it.

You just keep writing! Can't wait to read it one day 😊🙌🏽❤

[–]lifes_a_glitch 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Thanks for doing this Jade! I love the show. Do you have a favourite magic trick you've seen? Best wishes for the new season

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was at the Magic castle once and a magician named Matt did the craziest trick where he made a lemon disappear right before my eyes. It was insane!

[–]a_john_sequitur 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

When the series was announced, I was bummed there was no Josh. By the end of the first season I still missed Josh, but Kady has way more to her and a lot more to bring to the story. Do you think Kady, or any of the PKs on the show, would get along with, or even tolerate, someone like Josh from the books?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Definitely! You'll see a lot of Josh this season. And I think some tolerate him, others not so much. But that's what makes his character so fun!

[–]Tesabella 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

What's PK?

[–]Augmenti-DeMontia 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]oppositewerewolf 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ms. Tailor, some questions for you, if you're game.

1 - How many words are on the fourth page of the nearest book you can grab?

2 - What's the difference between a reservoir and an aquifer?

3 - How many countries can fit inside of the state or country you're currently in?

4 - When naming your favorite book, which director would best adapt that book into a miniseries on PBS or some other public broadcasting service?

5 - How many species of bear can you name?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wow... hmmm...

1st: 538

2nd: from my understanding, an aquifer is underground and a reservoir is a larger body of water.

3: A lot! I'm in California. My family is from Israel where you can drive from one end of the country to another in one day. So I'm going to say that it depends on the size of the country we are trying to fit here.

4: Maybe Damien Chazelle

5: Black bear, brown bear, Red Panda, Panda, Polar bear.m, teddy bear 😉 can't think of any others off the top of my head

[–]UnsealedMTG 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (9子コメント)

While mostly original, Kady does have a very (very) loose analog in the later books. Does the little we see of that character play into Kady at all to your knowledge? Or would you think of Kady as pure original, with one winking connection to a book character?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I see it more as a "winking connection." The scripts are so different from the books that I mainly go by them. But it definitely plays a factor in who Kady is and who she is becoming.

[–]dlnvf6 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Just curious, what character are you referring to?

[–]SemGracaIllusion 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think it is Asmodeus/Betsy

[–]UnsealedMTG 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's right.

Spoiler for Season 1 of show and The Magician King: Kady's screen name is Asmodeus and they take roughly the same role in those events, but the characters are otherwise pretty different.

[–]justinofdoom 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hi, Jade! Kady is my favorite character on the show, which says a lot since EVERY character is complex and incredible. I follow a lot of you guys on social media, and you all seem to have pretty funny personalities.

Which of the cast members would you say is most like their character?

Least?

Thanks!

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hi!! Thank you!! That means so much!! That is so true. Every character is very complex. I think each person definitely has their similarities to their character in some ways. For instance Summer always has a way of saying the most random funny things. Not unlike her character. Jason has his hilarious quirks as well like Quinton, and Arjun definitely speaks his mind like Penny. I could go on forever. ☺

Any advice for an aspiring producer?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Don't be afraid to start small and create your own content. You have to start somewhere, right? Also, sometimes working with larger productions even as an assistant just to learn the ropes is incredibly helpful. Just immerse yourself in it every chance and every place you can and start to create your own projects, which will lead to the next project and so on.

Jade,

Q: How ridiculous does it feel, doing the battle magic and stuff, acting it out before seeing special effects post-pro?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It actually doesn't feel too ridiculous for me. Especially cause my tuts have a lot of physicality to them it helps to make it feel real in my body. If that makes sense.

[–]paralegalchute 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah it actually makes quite a bit of sense, it adds a personal flavor to the suspension of disbelief. Thank you and have a good 2017!

Whats it like working on a tv set compared to film?

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Very different. With film you know exactly where your character is going to end up so it's easy to create a full character arc. With TV you never know entirely where they are going, so it keeps you really present and on your toes

[–]lzhrkns 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hi Jade! I have two questions haha, uhm, if you could play any other character on the Magicians, which one would you play and why? And what would your dream role be? :)

[–]jadetailorKady Diaz[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd play Kady of course!! 😉

And dream role... hmmm... that's a hard one. There are too many! I love doing films and roles that have a lot of heart and that truly impact people's lives. On the antithesis, I would love to be a superhero 💪🏼

[–]IloveFakku 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just finished watching episode 1 of the 2nd season. The crowning process was really funny, and the whole throwback to the 90s stuff. Do you guys find that a bit corny while acting/reading the script? (It was funny, but if I watched that scene alone without watching the rest of the series, I would think it was a comedy sketch or something.)

Jade!! Oh my goodness, I think you're an amazing actress and an amazing person, and I'm so delighted and excited that you've come to do an AMA for this sub. Thank you so much!

I have a couple questions if you're still answering them :D

  1. Despite the difficulties Kady's faced, she's very resilient and arguably one of the strongest magicians on the show. You played her "sultry-but-damaged" persona so well that I was a bit jarred when I discovered your real-life social media and realized that you and Kady are, of course, different people! How do you get into the mind of someone so different from yourself, with such a specific and powerful set of difficulties weighing on her mind?

  2. Many public figures stay silent on politically charged issues for fear of antagonizing potential fans, but you seem to have no such reservations. What is your motivation for proudly standing by your beliefs in public forums? (I'm specifically thinking about the Instagram pictures depicting your support for women's rights)

  3. What is your favorite song or favorite drink?

Again, thanks so much for doing this AMA. I adore you so much and I can't wait to see your lovely face on the screen once more :)

Do you feel ridiculous doing all of the "spell-casting" in real time? It looks great post-editing, but I would imagine it would feel pretty funny shouting random words and making hand signs and movements just like actors that have to interact with a character that is going to be CGI'd in.

[–]Erick2142 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hi Jade, by the way, I love The Magicians. You all really put your mind to it when filming and that shows! Keep it up :)

I have 2 questions:

1) Are you aloud to lightly change the script to adapt it to what you would say in your day to day life? (Example: you usually greet someone by saying "hi", but you say "hey" in the script, are you aloud to change it)

2) It's not really about the show, but what is your favorite Book/TV show of all time (depending what you're the most into)?

Thanks!

I had no idea it was airing so soon! I have been hyped for it. Now, convince me to skip studying for tomorrow's exam and binge watch the season. Go.

Hey Jade ?! How did ur career start? And what was the biggest obstacle u had to face ?

[–]AyabaraGaming 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

will you be coming back to the show more on the scale of the first half of season one or the second? I miss you having screentime!

[–]Dunge 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Very nice show, it deserve to get more attention than it have currently. At first I wasn't sure if it was just a cheap copy of HP, but as the first season went on it surpassed my expectations quite a lot. Love the more mature content and the quite complex range of storylines you have going.

You are not going to like what I say, but like most shows I don't watch it on air or on a streaming service, I download it from torrents online. What's your opinion on this? Do you get paid less because there's less registered viewers? Do you think it hurt the possibility of the show to get renewed for future seasons?

Now, my reason for mentioning this is another question. The first season was released twice, once simply tagged "The.Magicians", and once tagged "The.Magicians.US". Is there a reason for this? From what I saw, they are exactly the same, but maybe one version have slightly different scenes? I never saw that happens with any other show. The first episode of S2 is only out with the "US" tag right now.

Hey :), love the show and love your character :) Q: Have you done any kind of research on magic or anything? Or you just went head first. And after this any kind of Show/Movie that you would love to participate? And one more are you an Harry Potter fan :)?

Off topic but thanks for letting me see this on reddit. I didn't even know season 2 had started. Season 1 was great! Thanks.

Who is your favorite cast member to work with?

[–]Zed287 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hey jade!

Dont have a question but i thought i would say

I know syfy tends to drop a lot of shows after the second season but you all do a very fantastic job on the show and i think this could be syfys breaking bad equvilient

I hope everyone on the show knows how great of a job they are doing!

EDIT: on second thought heres a question how long do you think this show could go on for? I know theyve changed some from the books but it is just a trilogy. Are there any ideas or plans to go beyond thr books?

[–]jwishmael 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hi, so the books have been my favorite for a long time. I'm usually fairly snobby about books to screen interpretation, but Magicians is very well executed.

What part of the Magicians has changed you? Whether for better or worse? Was it a scene or dialogue?

Also, do you guys need anymore Magicians on set? XD

Hey I binge watched season one on Netflix. What station is the show affiliated with?

[–]Snowman78af 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Jade, love The Magicians! I currently living in Japan and unfortunately I will have to wait to get back to the states to continue watching however gives me something to look forward to. Anyway down to some tough questions.

Favorite book? Favorite Food? Favorite actor and why? What point in your life that made you decide that acting is what you wanted to? And a really hard question. By chance I can get an autograph from you and if possible(gonna push my luck) the cast members?

[–]TomathonStrix 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Have you read the trilogy? If so, where were your original thoughts on the chronology of the show? Just to say, you gave the character justice.

[–]dragoskai 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I love you on the show. I run a podcast called the geek io media network at www.geek-io.com.

Could I talk to you or your people to have you on my show?

[–]lol_itsRochelle 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hi Jade! You're awesome!

What's been the best experience you've had since becoming an actress/famous? Is there any moment in particular that made you think to yourself, "This is the reason I wanted this job!"?

[–]dickpicmck 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What happened in the second book? Is the show going to be True to it? I mistook the 3rd as the 2nd one and read it through before I realized my mistake. Also tell the show to put the trigger warnings at the beginning. What did you think of the books?

Edit: yeah I wouldn't talk to me either. Lol

[–]KeeperofAmmut7 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just watched the first episode of the new season...Can't wait for more.

[–]ViRoboticRoot 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hey Jade. I could have sworn your character was played by someone else in the very first episode of Season 1. Is this true? A quick search didn't turn up much about it online, but I have a weird ability to remember faces very well, and I noticed it immediately in the following episode. Enjoy the show tho! And wish you the best being a TV star and all.

Hello there. I don't have a question but I've recently been introduced to the show and am almost done with Season 1 and that I'm really enjoying it. Keep up and good work!

Hi Jade!

Q: Did you have any particular real life people or fictional character you based Kady on for the show?
