A BuddyTV készitett egy rövidebb riportot a Lee ügynököt alakitó Liza Lapira-val, aki az NCIS-en kivül a Dexter c. sorozatban is szerepel. Az interjú angol nyelvű, és csak az NCIS-re vonatkozó részét találjátok itt.
This is John from BuddyTV and I'm talking to Liza Lapira, the star of NCIS and Dexter. We'll start with NCIS. Last week it looked like Gibbs is finally going to be on to Michelle Lee, so I'm guessing this week's episode is going to be a very big one for your character?
Oh yeah, this is where it all hits the fan. This one and, I don't want to give it away, but I would watch the next couple weeks if one was interested. If you look at the track record it was all revealed way early, first episode. Then if you looked two seasons ago, none of this was even broached. They like to take their time.
You weren't told right away you were going to be a mole, were you?
No, I call that the Jimmy years. Not during the Jimmy years, but certainly when I signed on for this second half, absolutely. It was great, because then I could do a whole lot of work on it and research on it and think about it. It was a really exciting call to get.
The downside is that after you're uncovered you probably won't be around much longer.
I don't want to say yay or nay, I just want people to see. We still don't know the who and the why and the how of it, and I think that will greatly affect what happens to her. "Mole" is so general, except for the little tiny bit from the flashback in the season opener we don't really know the extent of it. It's to the writers credit that she's become so complicated.
What does it mean as an actress to be on such a hit show? NCIS is being seen by 17, 18 million viewers.
I felt disconnected from it. When I first signed on, I have to admit I hadn't even seen [the show] yet. I'm one of those that doesn't watch much TV, or tries not to. Once I got the job I got the DVDs and I watched it and I loved it, but the bigness of it didn't hit me until I went to Fan Fest and I got to meet everybody. I would get letters through the network and things like that, and those were always great, but then I got to actually meet some fans. That was a bit overwhelming in a good way, because everyone was so cool, fun, and big fans of the show and big fans of Mark [Harmon]. It's kind like the quiet storm, the silent killer, NCIS is. It's not splashed in the papers and there's not a commercial for it every five seconds, but there is a big, big following.
