How did this show come about for you?
TANIA RAYMONDE: They called me in because they wanted to see me for this. At the time, it was a pilot presentation, and I had always jumped onto shows that had already began, or were already picked up, so I didn’t really know what that meant. But, I thought the script was really funny, so I went in to meet them. We shot a mini-pilot that was 10 minutes long, in one night. Then, it got picked up and we started shooting the show. It was great. I didn’t even know what this really was going to turn into, to be perfectly honest. We did it for not very much money, and it turned into something good. It was cool. It was a great surprise.
What was it about the story and your character that appealed to you?
RAYMONDE: I love that Carla is a female that kicks a lot of ass. I’ve always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that. I just love her bravado and her personality. She’s a tough chick. Just to be able to do all that action and all those fight scenes, and shooting the guns, that turned me onto the show, right from the beginning. The cool thing about her is that this part could very easily be written for a man. She’s sexy and she’s feminine, but there’s nothing particularly female about her. She’s not a wimp, and that’s cool. I love when you can pass through the boundaries of your gender by just being a bad-ass. So, the opportunity to kick some ass, and also have a little fun and do some comedy was great for me. That attracted me to it, right from the beginning.
