Showtime’s
Homeland, developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, has captivated us with its
plot, following the steps of an ex-marine turned terrorist dealing with his
everyday life with his oblivious family and trying to mislead the CIA from his
true intentions: a twisted sense of justifiable retaliation towards his own
country.
Winning four
Emmy awards made Homeland’s season two one of the most anticipated premieres of
the fall of 2012 and it did not disappoint: 2.4 million people tuned in to see
what came next.
Brazilian
beauty Morena Baccarin, who plays US Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody’s wife
Jessica Brody, took some time to answer some of our questions. Check them out:
Spoiler
TV: How did you get the role of Jessica? What interested you in the part?
Morena
Baccarin: When I read it I was immediately moved by the story and Jessica's
strife. I found the pilot compelling, daring, and heartfelt.
Spoiler
TV: Were the sex scenes with Brody as uncomfortable in real life as they were
on screen?
Morena Baccarin: The vulnerability portrayed in those scenes are the
most difficult moments to act.
Spoiler TV: Is Jessica embracing Brody’s political
career? Do you think she’ll get more involved with the elites in Washington or
will she keep her distance?
Morena Baccarin: Jessica was surprised by how much she embraced the
political life. She's enjoying it. We'll see how long that lasts. And at what
cost.
Spoiler
TV: Now that Jess knows Brody is a muslim, do you think she’s starting to
realize Carrie is not that crazy regarding Brody’s agenda? Will Jess ever find
out about it?
Morena Baccarin: She knows very little about Carrie. I think whether or
not Carrie is crazy is less of a concern. She's intent on keeping her family
together and keeping Brody from lying. And the question she is always faced
with is when is it too much? At what point is it not worth fighting for
anymore?
Spoiler
TV: Any snippets/teasers that you can share with us about your character or
show for the upcoming episodes?
Morena Baccarin: We watched Carrie unravelling last season as she was
constantly asked to question her judgement about Brody. Let’s just say it's HIS
turn.
How's that for a cliffhanger? Homeland airs on Sundays 10PM ET/PT.
