The actress did tell Faris, however, that being an extra is "easy," per the outlet, but "if you have a speaking part, then we're gonna have to make sure you can do the job."
Bure has found herself speaking up against haters and critics quite a bit lately, such as in January, when the actress caught flack for a family photo shared on Instagram.

In that instance, I was simply sharing a family photo that was so beautiful to me. Even a hint of people criticizing my family picture I wasn’t going to take," Bure noted.
