5 Minutes with ‘Don’t Trust the B— in Apt. 23’s’ Dreama Walker

Dreama Walker has come a long way from busing trays at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Times Square. With guest stints on “Law & Order” and a recurring role on “Gossip Girl” as Blair’s frenemy Hazel Williams, Dreama has conquered fictional New York and is now the star of ABC’s biting new comedy, “Don’t Trust the B— in Apt. 23.” Tapping into everyone’s worst nightmare about finding a roommate on Craigslist, Dreama’s June moves in with Chloe, a woman whose welcoming grin and perfect apartment belie the fact that she’s actually a con artist more interested in stealing June’s money than becoming best friends.

We talked with Dreama about her favorite moments working with “Breaking Bad’s” Krysten Ritter (Chloe) and “Dawson’s Creek’s” James Van Der Beek (playing a version of himself that is probably best friends with Harold & Kumar’s Neil Patrick Harris), breaking into the industry, and of course, Capeside. “Apt. 23” debuts tonight on ABC and sneak peeks of episodes 1 and 2 are currently available on Hulu.

What has been your favorite episode so far?
I think my favorite episode is actually this one called “Shitagi Nashi.” That’s Japanese for tall slut, no panties. [Literal translation: Without Underwear.] Chloe’s character has a comic book [made] after her. I get alcohol poisoning in it, I’m wheeled in on a gurney and I can’t drink with Chloe anymore. I can’t give away too much, but everything about the episode is hilarious and it was so fun to shoot. I got to have crazy hair and eye makeup everywhere and be really sick.

So would you say that Chloe is starting to rub off on June?
Absolutely. Chloe rubs off on June and June rubs off on Chloe. It just goes back and forth all over the place.
