When I was doing theater for all those years in New York, I did a lot of classical theater, wearing big corsets and big dresses and doing dialects. It's interesting that once I moved to TV, I'm playing these scrappy, contemporary toughies.
From Mireille Enos
Crime shows are really popular, in general, but usually, at the end of every episode, you have to let go of the people that you've invested in and then, the next week, get somebody else.
I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.
When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.
My mother is French, my father is Texan.
I grew up in Houston, in a pretty urbane setting.
I'm a black belt in tae kwon do.
I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.
People say to me, 'Oh, being a mother must make you a better actor,' and I think, 'Well, I never sleep, I have very little time to think about anything except when I'm actually there.' I wonder whether that makes me a better actor. I think it must on some level.
Every role that you play comes with its own set of challenges.
