Melissa Roxburgh on Manifest
In a 2023 interview with Elle, Roxburgh opened up about the experience of starring in Manifest.
"When I showed up for Manifest, it was just easy. I walked in, it was right, everyone was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the girl.’”
She also talked about the opportunities that the show has opened up for her. “Young me would have looked at where I am now and been like, ‘That’s where I want to go, and that’s what’s going to make me happy,'" she said. "There are so many beautiful positives that come with being in the position that Manifest has given me."
