She plays Rose, a psychiatrist who encounters terrifying occurrences.As the daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, the actress is a Hollywood showbiz royalty, but she worked hard for her success on her own, notably with a breakout performance in the Netflix series &#x27;13 Reasons Why&#x27; and recently. in the Prime Video series &#x27;As We See It.&#x27;When asked if she had difficulty shaking off the intense feelings while filming &#x27;Smile,&#x27; she said, &quot;I don&#x27;t really think I had nightmares as much as just like it was a general kind of vibe of some isolation, and that&#x27;s difficult to shake for sure.&quot;&quot;But you know, it&#x27;s a good challenge. And I think everybody who does a horror movie, you got to remember it&#x27;s going to be a lot of nights and there&#x27;s going to be some physical stuff.&quot;The movie also features &#x27;The Boys&#x27; actor Jessie T. Usher as Trevor.He shared how he felt about how something that usually brings joy like a friendly smile was effectively used as a vehicle of horror in the movie.&quot;Theoretically, there&#x27;s a version of the script where we do get to see Trevor do a creepy smile. It was already daunting enough, so when they changed that bit, I was happy that I did not have to rehearse it because I feel like that&#x27;s something that would kind of live with you forever. You know every time I smile now I&#x27;m wondering, does it look like that creepy one or is this like the one that I thought was joyful and happy all my life? I don&#x27;t know,&quot; the actor said.Kyle Gallner stars as police detective Joel who shares a past with Bacon&#x27;s character.&quot;While the movie does have such dread and this always ever-creeping sense of doom, we wanted to kind of shake things up a little bit and really build a real relationship between two people that have known each other for so long that you have moments of them like being annoyed with each other, or almost trying to build a little bit of humor to mine out of something like so heavy and so intense. And that to me was a lot of fun, like an interesting challenge,&quot; Gallner shared.&#x27;Smile&#x27; is written and directed by Parker Finn. Its story is based on a short film that he made in 2020.
