“I was always interested in it [acting] when I was younger, just from visiting my dad on his sets and watching him having fun,” Vivian explained to the outlet about her interest in the occupation. “…I knew that was the place where I wanted to be, and I would also put on shows for my family.”
As far as the “nepo baby” debate goes, Vivian knows a lot about that.
“But it’s a very normal thing for a child to be interested in something that their parents are doing,” she argued. “Especially if it’s something as fun as acting. Having a parent that acts and knows the job and is supportive of it just makes it a lot better. So I knew about all that, but I’m just not paying attention to those comments.”
Vivian also spoke about her audition for the role of Willa, saying that while her parents told her about it and helped her do her audition tape for it, it took a while for her to hear anything.
“I heard back about a month after or maybe a little bit longer. It was a while until I heard back,” she says.
The nepo baby debate has been a hot topic this year, and one actor recently called off an interview over a question about it.

His journey is immediately waylaid by two wannabe criminals, leading him to testify about what happened at a hearing in Detroit.There, Judge Guy (Keith David) and lawyer Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis) are unimpressed by Raylan’s attitude (and his tactics, which includes rough treatment of the thugs).

Stephen Rodrick U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) had a time-honored tradition during the six seasons of the original “Justified.” The rakish law man would chase a baddie across Kentucky back roads and trailer parks. Bullets flew, and moonshine was consumed. Still, Givens always made time for a philosophical and deep conversation with his prey before the final showdown. Raylan would learn something humanizing about his nemesis’ motivation and, inevitably, realize he himself could be a dick on occasion. These talks often featured Boyd Crowder, Givens’ frenemy played by Walton Goggins with a mouthful of Biden-white teeth, a shock of black hair and buckets of country wisdom. They were so humanizing that you often forgot Boyd was a white supremacist turned drug dealer.
