J. Smith-Cameron hasn't always been famous. Like any working actor, she's had a few periods without work. As she told the "Death, Sex & Money" podcast, she and her friend Kevin used to spend hours on end chatting in a local diner. "When we were between gigs and we were just auditioning, actors have a lot of time to fill without trying to fall into a desperate void in your mind ... we would come in this diner and nurse a cup of tea and a corn muffin for many hours," she said.

Smith-Cameron also spends her "off" time reading. "Read, read, read, read, read, read," she told the "Back to One" podcast. "Not necessarily dramatic literature, just reading." Another thing Smith-Cameron does is simply to people-watch. "Every time I get on the subway, I mark people, you know, I study them," she said, explaining how it's the perfect chance to "study human behavior." It's clear that Smith-Cameron is always keeping herself in a state of readiness for whatever role comes her way next no wonder she seems to slip so seamlessly into each new character she plays.
