Just call them bad girls for life.
I wanted another life for Syd.
And then lets find a badass, boss woman to partner her with.

I just felt like it was an opportunity that I couldnt pass up.
We definitely have chemistry.
And so I just got back off maternity leave and we didnt miss a damn beat.

I can say Ive never seen that and its a testament to how it is.
So when you ask how the filmings going,thatshow the filming is going its frickin awesome.
I was breastfeeding my baby, so guess what?
And there is no union protection for that and youre kind of at the mercy of production to production.
So what I love is that we are setting a precedent for how it can be done.
And were doing a frickin action show.
The Bruckheimer shows that are on TV are a different vibe than what were doing.
Its not a crime of the week show.
So its pretty cool that after three kids and a business I get to step into my dream role.
Im not even gonna front, I trusted my gut.
She rang me and I just got a good feeling about it.
And I definitely was not even thinking of going to work that soon.
Especially collaborating with her and being able to be on set and learn from her.
And thats really why I wanted to do this show.
And then the cherry on top was the Jerry Bruckheimer brand.
Those are the movies that I grew up on.
This key in of show is like my dream.
Or it was written for men and they just changed it to women but it still felt very masculine.
But this feels very feminine and our characters are complex.
So we were sort of sitting around and joking, So, whats in Syds Netflix queue?
Did her and Mike (Will Smith) break up?
Are they in couples counseling?
I want to find out.
And Im also curious about Syd.
Luckily, Tea Leoni has becomeMadame Secretary, but I wanted another life for Syd.
And were getting women of color paid!
All of that appealed to me.
And I would say the same thing about Syd and Nancy.
And where Syds vulnerabilities are, Nancy is stronger and more grounded.
