Lizzy Greene on Texas Roots, Cowboy Camp, and the Emo Side of Ransom Canyon

You know Lizzy Greene from her Nickelodeon days (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn), or more recently from A Million Little Things. Now, she’s stepping into a pair of dusty boots for Netflix’s Ransom Canyon, a Western drama where she plays Lauren Brigman, the small-town Texas sheriff’s daughter with big dreams of escape.

The role is something of a full-circle moment for the Dallas native, who brought her own background in horseback riding and cheerleading to the role (with a detour to the ER after a Looney Tunes-style knee fracture during rehearsals). Greene opens up to Kyle Meredith about how growing up in Texas helped her find her way into Lauren’s world — even if it meant freezing in the Albuquerque snow and bonding with castmates over cow manure during “cowboy camp.”

Greene also discusses her emo-punk side (she’s a huge fan of The Cure and The Smiths), her reunion with co-star Garrett Wareing in the upcoming Sweating the Small Stuff, and why Jose Gonzalez’s "Teardrop" cover in the show nearly made her lose it.
