Q: What was it that drove you to the character other than the fact that it
was written by Joel Wyman and J. J. Abrams?
A: Well, the character was first a man.
Q: You're kidding!
A: So, they were open to making her a woman, which I thought said volumes
about just how they're open to anything. Their imagination is fantastic.
Q: And where are you hoping the character is going to go in the first
season?
A: Well, I love the Helen Merrin Prime Suspect, so I brought that up with
Joel, just in the sense of hoping to really get into some of the sacrifices
and the realities of a female being in that kind of position, and that it's
not just all great. There's sacrifices.
Q: So we'll be learning a little bit about her life?
A: Yeah. I mean, hopefully. I know there's a lot of commitments to
different parts of the story, so, whatever, but we've talked about that and
I think he'll honor it.
