USA appears to have another hit on its hands with new show In Plain Sight, which scored the network’s highest-rated debut in four years when it premiered Sunday night. Here’s what costar Nichole Hiltz (The Riches) had to say about the drama series, on which she plays an aspiring meth dealer alongside Mary McCormack–who stars as her U.S. Marshal sister!
On her very complex character, Brandi Shannon:
“She starts out sort of lost at the beginning of the season. She actually ends up pretty lost, too. But she has a lot of heart, has a lot of fun–you know, fun that gets her into trouble–and the audience can sort of see how she gets there and how she didn’t really mean to fall flat on her face. From an outsider’s point of view, she’s sort of just jobless and useless. But that’s not really the case when you look a little bit further into her world.”
On the similarities between her and Brandi:
“Emotionally, I think we’re very similar. Yes, there are a lot of things that are very much the same between me and Brandi, except that I have a job and I don’t have a meth addiction. Neither of us have boyfriends and, yes, she’s very heartfelt, very much loves her family and is very much into her friends and forgets about herself a lot. I can relate there sometimes.”
On her favorite episode(s):
“My favorite episode altogether–and now I’m forgetting some of the titles–but episode four I really like. There are some episodes that I like altogether, because they’re almost written like a play and everybody’s character really comes forward. And the finale, I think, is incredible. I like the episodes the further along in the season that we get, because I think it becomes more family oriented. In the beginning, we’re still sort of trying to set up the procedure of it all and get to know everybody. Without spoiling anything, I really love 10, 11 and 12.”
