"I was classically trained, I came up in the theatre, I studied at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, so I learned to play inside of all the genres."

Zibby continued: "Even if we're doing a drama we're very playful on Virgin River, even in the heavy scenes, you know? When we break, when they call cut, there's lots of laughter. So I miss comedy, I'd love to go back to comedy at some point."
