Michelle Ryan Talks With IGN
Written by Brenda on July 18th, 2007
With the NBC press tour we are seeing more and more information on the new upcoming shows from NBC including Bionic Woman. On the press tour this gives a lot of media outlets a good chance to catch up with some of the cast and crew of the show. IGN an entertainment website had the chance to talk with both Michelle Ryan the leading actress playing the Bionic Woman and the Executive Producer David Eick. Here is a little snippet from the interview:
“Ryan explained that when she first heard about the role, “I was filming a horror film with Faye Dunaway, a very low-budget British film, and I got the call saying would you like to audition? So I drove down, wrapped at 2:00 in the morning, drove down back to London, and put myself on tape. I didn’t think anything of it, and then I got a call saying they’d love to fly you out to screen test. And I thought, oh, OK, great. I can go to L.A., hopefully sign with a good agent, and, you know, it
would be good experience to go in a few meetings. And then, I went in and met David Eick and all the producers. And I got so excited because they were so enthusiastic about the project, and I just thought, ‘Actually, I really want this now!’ When you see, like, Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider and you see her sort of kicking ass, you’re like, yeah, I want to be like that. I want to be strong, and I want to be confident and empowered. And I think that’s a really great message that Bionic Woman will hopefully bring out there”
