Remember the gorgeous nanny from F.R.I.E.N.D.S who was the forbidden fruit for Joey? Since that delightful cameo, actress Melissa George has done a myriad of roles in many films and TV shows. She particularly established a strong base in the horror genre with titles like A Lonely Place to Die, Triangle, Felony, and more. However, her most memorable performance was definitely The Amityville Horror with Ryan Reynolds.

Back in the news about her lead role in Apple TV&#8217;s The Mosquito Coast, George fondly remembers her Amityville days. In a recent interview, the Australian-American actress opened up about the film and her preparation for the role with Ryan Reynolds.

<h2>Melissa George&#8217;s personation in The Amityville Horror alongside Ryan Reynolds</h2>
After a long hiatus from acting, Melissa George is back with Apple TV&#8217;s 2021 drama called The Mosquito Coast. With a gripping first season, the network renewed the show for a second season, all set to release on November 4. In an exclusive interview with Variety, the Alias actress took a trip down memory lane and spoke about her previous roles.
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (2005) | Official Trailer | MGM Studios" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j_Lm2PXb3tk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
With many horror films in her portfolio, the Australian-American star, surprisingly, used to be unsure of choosing those projects. She was afraid of being typecast in the said roles and of not being recognized for her acting prowess.
&#8220;I was ashamed, in a weird way, that a horror &#8216;theme&#8217; can take away from the performance,&#8220; <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/melissa-george-ryan-reynolds-mosquito-coast-1235407754/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> George.

That is why, for The Amityville Horror, she wanted the audience to perceive her performance as a &#8220;well-acted piece.&#8221; She wanted to make absolutely sure that people remember the movie not just for the scares, but also for the story and performance. 
&#8220;With Ryan Reynolds, we went Method. I burst all the vessels in my face just by screaming so much. Your body doesn’t realize it’s just a movie,&#8221; reminisced the 30 Days of Night star.

The film followed the Lutzes, a newlywed couple George (<a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/">Ryan Reynolds</a>) and Kathy (Melissa George) who move to a gorgeous house in the quaint town of Amityville. After various eerie occurrences, they uncover that a year ago, several murders took place on the site of their new home.
