She has been making the media rounds in line with her role, including an appearance last week on The Insider and articles on People and The Advocate.
On The Insider, Clayton talks about the audition process and bursting into tears after hearing she had the part, as well as how welcoming the entire cast and crew of the show was. Clayton also talked about trying to make it as a transgender actress in Hollywood, saying "I want to act...I want to do movies and television shows. I want to audition for all different kinds of parts, not just transgender roles. Hopefully, once people see the show, they will believe in me." You can watch her full interview below.
