What would you say is the most distinctive and appealing element of Tru Calling for viewers?
There’s something really powerful about the idea of ‘what if?’ What if you could go back an hour or a day? What if I had made that phone call? The idea of changing your fate or changing destiny is something that people can relate to and are intrigued by. I like that our story is being told through this young, capable, romantic and beautiful girl, Tru. We’ve tried to make her as real as possible, so that people can get involved in her stories and her life. I really feel like I identify with Tru in so many ways. I have tried to add some of my own nuances to Tru. How physically demanding is the role? In the series’ opening episode, you seemed to be running in virtually every scene! [Laughs] We actually cut down on the running from the pilot episode, which I really appreciated. Philip Noyce, the director, was so great and I learned so much. That man has something about me running, though. It was too much! Making the show is physical and it’s fun. Sometimes the show has that Alias feeling.
