She also has formed her own production company, Three Things Productions, which takes its name from the Mary Oliver poem "Three Things to Remember,"
"I approach my work as an actor in search of that magic gut feeling you get when you know something is right. I plan on following those instincts as a producer, approaching each story with passion, playfulness, curiosity, a sure-footed step, and like all things worth taking a risk on, a hint of terror. I can’t wait to collaborate with new voices and find stories that hit the heart in that indefinable way."
Melissa is not alone in her endeavor...
Benoist becomes the latest leading lady from a Warners show to sign an overall deal with the studio. Former Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco remains in business with the studio and exec produced (and stars in) HBO Max's The Flight Attendant. (In an interview with TV's Top 5, Cuoco said she hopes to deliver a producing slate that is as prolific as super-producer and Flight Attendant EP Berlanti.) Other Big Bang stars also have focused on producing, too, including Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik (Fox's Call Me Kat).
And then there is this...
Sources note Warners is keen on embracing Benoist's talents as a singer and the actress could take on a role that showcases her voice.
Congrats Melissa on your new endeavors.
