THR: Nine million viewers watched and saw the arrival of Michonne. What have the past few days been like for you?
Gurira: It's been pretty amazing. I got the job on Friday, so it's very new. I'd never really watched it before I got the audition and I got to really get acquainted with it during these last few weeks and fell completely in love with it. I'm absolutely hooked. I felt desire really deeply to be a part of it. When I got to work with the producers one day and came back for the test I fell more in love with the show and wanted it more. It's been a pretty intense week. You wait to hear and then you hear and you're beside yourself. I had to hold it in for about 36 hours until they did the Talking Dead and it was all out. I'm still pinching myself.

I've seen some of the things she's been in (Treme) and she's a fantastic actress. They couldn't have picked anyone better for the role.
ReplyDeleteShe was quite good in The Visitor also. But again, Richard Jenkins was lovable in that movie.
