Oscar-nominee Ethan Hawke is back in the director's chair for the new movie "Blaze." Actress Jenn Lyon stars in the movie and sits down with Cheddar at the Sundance Film Festival to discuss the project. The film tells the story of Blaze Foley, an unsung country artist who died early into his life. Lyon describes what it was like working with Hawke on the feature. She plays Cinammon, a woman who spent time with Folely during one of the last nights of his life. The star also describes transitioning from acting on Broadway to appearing in movies. Lyon stars in the TNT comedy "Claws." She says the show puts "female badassery on display" in its depiction of Florida manicurists. The actress discusses what it's like working with Niecy Nash, who plays her best friend in the series.
