Y’all, if you want to watch a musical sitcom that regularly breaks the fourth wall and has a crap-ton of catchy music that’s all on Spotify (even songs that got cut out of the show) look no further than GALAVANT which honestly SHOULD HAVE HAD A SEASON 3 OKAY

not that I’m bitter

[roadtogalavant]

karendavidofficial #fbf January 31st will always be a meaningful day for me. 6 years ago today, we began prepping for filming the pilot for galavantabc and 4 years ago today, our season 2 finale aired. My life and my journey changed the day Dan Fogelman, Susan Vash, our Galavant creative team and ABC cast me in the role of Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta of Valencia. (Still a mouthful, but a name that will forever be etched in my heart) I smile and laugh so much just thinking of all the incredible memories we created together as a tv family, and family we all are - to this day and beyond. I’ve made friends for life who are my family. 

The gratitude in my heart is endless. To all our friends and families who tuned in every Sunday, despite the temptations of the Super Bowl, or the Globes or some other major event which aired in the same Sunday time slot, thank you again and again! To those who binge watch to this day on a regular basis on Netflix, I love you more and more! 😉 

Above all else, I’m so grateful this show happened. I’m so happy my stateside chapter started off on home turf 🇬🇧 with some armour, a sword and a horse, some dreamlike Disney songs by alanmenken and glennslaterlyrics along with playing a strong, empowered, kick butt, big hearted, not so perfect, relatable character, that I can only hope inspired the big girls and boys and little girls and boys watching the show, to love themselves more and to fight for their dreams and happiness... Happy Anniversary, dearest, beloved, #Galavanters 🎉 🎉 🎉 Maybe one day, we’ll get to do it all again. Until then, you can binge watch 2 magical seasons on a regular basis on netflix netflixca (if you haven’t already). 😉 With all my heart 💘, Isabella Galavant xoxo

“the Tiger Hunter” Star Karen David On Embracing Her Multiracial Identity And Auditioning In Hollywood

Karen David still remembers the moment the acting and singing bug bit her hard. She was just six years old and under the babysitting supervision of her older sister. They watched Grease and Xanadu “and I just fell absolutely in love with all things Olivia Newton John,” David says.

When she told her immigrant parents that she intended to become an actor in Hollywood one day, they said they would support her, but that she should be prepared for a difficult journey. “You’re an ethnic minority, so you’re going to have to work 10 times harder,” they told her. So long as she kept her grades up at school, they’d take her to acting and singing lessons. On the weekends, they’d take her to Ontario Place to catch free concerts by legends like Smokey Robinson and the Temptations.

David, who grew up mostly in Toronto, moved to London to attend drama school, then joined the original cast of the West End musical Mamma Mia!. She played Spanish teacher Francesca “Cesca” Montoya in the BBC One drama Waterloo Road. In the U.S., she’s best known for portraying Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta of Valencia in ABC’s musical-comedy series Galavant. She’s also a recording artist.

This month, moviegoers can see her in The Tiger Hunter, by director and writer Lena Khan. This charming independent film, which was CAAMFest 2017’s Opening Night film, tells the story of Sami Malik (Danny Pudi), an immigrant from an Indian village trying to make it as an engineer in 1970s Chicago. David plays Ruby Iqbal, Sami’s longtime crush since childhood, whom he is trying to impress. The Tiger Hunter opens September 22. I spoke to David over the phone.—Melissa Hung

You’re from a multiracial family. What was it like for you growing up?

When I was growing up, I grew up predominately with loads of Caucasian friends, so I was always the odd one out. And as a child I didn’t quite understand or appreciate my heritage at the time. I’m part Chinese, part Indian, and I’m also part of a tribe from where my mom was born in the northeastern part of India, in Shillong, which is a matrilineal society—the Khasi people. And then I have my Canadian and British side too. So that was really overwhelming for me as a child. You just want to fit in with everyone else.

I was bullied in school, too, for being a bit different. I had a really bad acne problem growing up. It was like this infestation on my face. I often just stared at the floor and hid behind glasses and my hair. My parents had that Asian sentiment—they would always say to me, ��Don’t speak about the things you want to do. Just let your actions speak and just get on with it.” I was known as the mysterious one at school and quietly ambitious. I had wonderful teachers to get through those tough years when I was being bullied. Thank goodness for amazing teachers who are always encouraging and wanting you to give it your best and be your best! That played a huge impact on my journey.

Of course, now I embrace everything that I am—and that I’m not. And I celebrate that I’m this concoction of different things. It fascinates me every day listening to my parents telling me stories about our background and family tree. And I’m hungry to know more and hear more stories from them. That’s what made me love The Tiger Hunter. Lena [Khan, director and writer] captures so much of the true spirit of the immigrant journey, which is a story I can relate to so much.
