HW: Why did you fight for it?
SB: They just had a different idea of what Kim was gonna be. I don’t know exactly, but I just don’t think I was anyone’s idea of it. And so I just really fought for it. I thought it was amazing writing. And I think [producer] Ben Silverman picks amazing projects that he brings over. You know, that he adapts. And I really wanted to be part of it. And there’s so few roles that are amazing women character-driven pieces. It’s really difficult to find. And I really wanted in on it. And I really – you know, I just wanted to grab that one. And that was kind of the first time that I really went after something. Because I just don’t usually have that kind of – that drive [laughs] It paid off. I was really happy to get it. I kind of made myself a little sloppier.
HW: Were you looking for something on television? Are you worried about being out of the movie game for nine months a year?
SB: No, I’m okay. I’m okay with it. I was in Budapest shooting Hellboy II, and I kind of thought, “You know, I think I’ve had it with locations for a while.” You know? It was pretty lonely, you know, being away, even though I love everyone on the movie so much. But it’s like, “God. I’d like to kind of lay some roots down in one place for a while.” I’ve been traveling so much, I feel like such a gypsy, and kind of just wanted to get settled. So, I was kind of looking for a TV show.
