Eunice (the girl with extreme braces, pink high-top Converse® All-Stars, and a not-so-secret love for Sebastian) played by Emily Perkins
A veteran of mostly tv shows, this is one of Ms Perkins’s largest major motion picture roles. Here she dons some extensive orthodontic head gear and takes on the character of the less than gallant Eunice. To make it work, the character required some inner understanding of the passion that gets all pent up in a garish, nerdy person just waiting to be unleashed at the right moment. In this case, it will take a long time to wash from my mind the incredibly maniacal and lust-driven look on her face the morning after she hosts her dream ‘man’ Sebastian overnight in her room and makes him a cupcake for breakfast. She does a really terrific job creating this character and bringing her to life.

Your Ginger Snaps: Unleashed co-star Tatiana Maslany had some problems with the braces she wore for her role. Having donned a whole mess of mouth-wire and headgear to play Eunice, do you now have any similar horror stories?

I kinda got in the habit while shooting of running my tongue across the front of the headgear mouth wire, I guess because it felt like such a foreign body--you know, like worrying a bandaid or scab or something--and I think I may have horrified a few crew or cast members who I may have been gazing at totally inadvertently at the time. No tongue injuries though, I was careful.
