I'm not sure how to do those links, so I guess I'll just have to write it out.
USA Today had a nice article on Morena Baccarin.
"Cryptic 'V' Character is alien to Baccarin"
As the leader of the alien Visitors, Morena Baccarin sports prime time's
most prominent pixie haircut.
And don't tell her bosses at ABC, but she has gotten a little sick of it.
"I want to bleach my hair blond. I'd love to, but they would kill me
right now if I did that", she says.
No kidding. The series V, starring Baccarin as Anna, the poker-faced
president of the extraterrestrial Visitors, has proven to be a hit for ABC.
The fourth episode airs tonight and the series returns in March.
Baccarin, 30, is animated and peppy in person. On screen, she's as
cool as, well, a lizard.
So she's particularly excited that this week,"You get to see what
makes Anna tick a little bit. It's fun to be mysterious. I know that
what Anna is doing and what her agenda is are really important, but
you can't let on. I have to make her likeable and intriguing to people
who feel like they shouldn't like her."
The Los Angeles-based actress, who was born in Brazil but grew up
in New York, auditioned for the part and landed the job in one day.
"I read this role and gravitated toward it, which I don't know if that's
good or bad thing", she says with a laugh.
Her shorn hair, which she had cut earlier, worked in her favor. "There
was a tiny bit of debate in the beginning. There was a second there
where we discussed if she should have long hair. But having her be
different would be better. I voiced my opinion that she should be
crisp and clean and precise. The costume designer totally agreed."
Given that Baccarin played a courtesan in Joss Whedon's series
Firefly, and it's big-screen adaptation, Serenity, has she been
crowned the queen of the geeks?
Sort of.
"It's been really weird to walk down the street. At the post
office the other day, a woman said I looked exactly like the alien
on V. It's so weird to have people recognize you. They look at
you like you're an alien."
What makes Baccarin tick
Punctuality: "I hate being late. It makes me crazy."
Sushi: "I love it. And shooting in Vancouver is great because
it has amazing sushi."
Politics: "I would love to meet President Obama. I think he is
so charming and smart. It took us no time at all to turn on him.
Certainly leading the country is a really tough job."
Vacations: "My boyfriend
and I are going to Europe for a
couple of weeks later this year. We're going to London and
maybe Spain or Croatia."
Fans: "It's definitely weird and odd that I can go somewhere
and be recognized. But I think it's fun."
Also, the write-up on the fourth episode:
After a fast fall run, V exits the air tonight with a cliffhanger that
will have to hold fans until March. As often happens with Start-up
series, V has been inconsistent the past few weeks, and so has
viewer response. But if you're a fan, don't let that pattern overly
concern you. Think of this string of episodes as a miniseries
prologue, with the real show kicking off come spring. That's
plenty of time for the writers, and the network, to reconsider
any unpromising paths.
