Deborah Ann Woll Facts
As an infant, she was diagnosed with celiac disease, which is a hereditary condition that results in body rejecting gluten.
In her first season in True Blood, she was cast in a guest role. However, her role was made a part of the main cast by the end of the season after show producers were impressed by the potential of her character.
By the time she made her acting debut in Life, she had been working in various stage productions for 10 years. She has also done extensive work with New York theatre company.
To completely get into her role in True Blood, she watched the videos of wild animals attacking other animals. She felt stalking, attacking, and killing skills of animals have been lost in humans, so she tried to learn it on her own by watching videos.
Due to her boyfriend choroideremia condition, she has done extensive activism work to raise awareness about it.
