Candiace Dillard is a woman of many talents.

Whether it’s shaking up the scene on the ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ or marvelling with her music, she’s doing it all.

The 33-year-old’s latest venture sees her step into the scripted sphere by way of new holiday movie ‘The Christmas Lottery.’

Set to premiere December 12, the film follows a father who requests his three estranged daughters come home for Christmas for a big announcement…he has won $10-million-dollars from the lottery! To receive their share, he has a number of requests from each of them.

That Grape Juice‘s Patrick Buchanan caught up with Candiace ahead of the film’s debut to talk about her role and more.
