Camille Sullivan

Camille Sullivan is an actor known to our audience for Shelby Oaks, where she plays Mia—pulled into an obsessive search for her missing sister as a terrifying piece of their past resurfaces.
Camille Sullivan joined Opposites Distract to discuss how Shelby Oaks turns intimate stakes into relentless dread—sisters, secrets, and the fear you can’t shake. She walks us through Mia’s drive to chase a fresh lead twelve years after her sister vanished and the shiver-inducing possibility that the “childhood demon” was real all along. Beyond the story, Camille talks craft: sustaining fear across takes, protecting energy on long nights, and using location to fuel performance. We also swap favorites across horror and true crime—from The Exorcist, The Fly, and The Shining to bingeable docuseries—tracing the influences that power her work.

“No, it’s scary. I get scared… I try to freak myself out before I have to go do it on camera.”
