Sadly, we didn’t get a whole lot of time with Sasha Alexander (Maura Isles) on the Rizzoli & Isles 100th episode red carpet, but the time we did get was certainly quality, as she previewed the show’s 100th episode (airing this Monday, July 25) and also talked about the 102nd episode of the series, which she directed.
“It’s wild, you know? It’s really wild, because you’re telling stories every day, and we’re all just doing the best we can to turn out good episodes through the ears, and all of the sudden, here you are years later,” she told us about reaching such a milestone. “A hundred episodes. Seven seasons. So, I feel a lot of gratitude…. to the fans, to everybody that was a part of it. It’s really a cool thing.”
Three weeks after Episode 100, we will see the episode of Rizzoli & Isles that Sasha Alexander directed, as “For Richer or Poorer” is scheduled for August 15. “It was great,” she said of the experience. “I went to film school at USC, so I had directed some, but not episodic, so I was really excited to get to do it before we finished. It was hard for both Angie and I because we are in the show so much that it’s hard to get us out to actually direct and not write us in, but they did it, and I had an awesome time. I can’t say enough. It was a total blast.”
