"One of the most remarkable things about this young actress is the incredible pathos she brings to all of her work," says director Evan Seplow. "Right from the very first audition, she bowled us over with not only a strong performance, but a keen understanding of the dynamics involved with playing out a scene that fluctuates between crying, laughter, loving, and terror all within a one minute scene. In 'What's Eating You?' I knew I would be demanding very highly from whomever played the intricate part of Lisa, and she has come through with flying colors!"

Not only is the part of Lisa demanding from an acting standpoint, but from a physical one as well. Throughout the film the character of Lisa changes looks and styles, makeup, moods, and also Ms. Caisley had to perform a great deal of her own stunts.

"It's been a very new and exciting experience for me," says Nyle, who has a very strong Shakespearean background, having performed throughout Europe and the United States, including training at the London Academy and studying Miesner and Stanislavski in New York City.

"In a play, you warm into a part and live as the character for over 2 hours. In movies, especially action films, you must burn right from when action is called, stop when they say 'cut,' and then do it again and again 10 or even 30 more times!" This exhausting work is even more difficult in films such as 'What's Eating You?' where the character must be crying, or franticly scared. "It's a completely different form of training to turn it on and off between takes. And at the same time as an actor hold on to the emotional levels and hit them right on mark each and every time."
