Troian Bellisario Is Never Going to be Just An Actress

We know Troian Bellisario as many things now — an actress, a director, an activist, a writer.

The Pretty Little Liars star opened up in a new interview that she wants to expand her skills even more.

“I grew up watching my mother both act in front of the camera and direct, and my father direct and write. There was just something in me — I’ve never been content,” she shared.

Troian adds, “I’m really, really curious to actively see why he’s coming at her from this angle, and talking to the director about how they’re going to accomplish this sequence.

She also shared that she was very hands on with Pretty Little Liars and always wanted to be involved in every aspect.

“They were so patient with me for Pretty Little Liars,” Troian says. “I would march my way into the writers’ room and be like, ‘Guys, what’s going on? What’s happening next? What are we doing?’ Everybody was so encouraging to help me learn because they saw I had this curiosity.”

“By the end, it became a thing they were all banking on. Like, ‘Come on, Bellisario! When are you going to direct?’”
