Castle - Season 5 - Interview with Tamala Jones

Thanks to Erica for the heads up.

KarenL: Would you like to see a Lanie-centric episode in Season 5?

Tamala: I would love to! I think it’s coming. You guys have put the fire under Andrew’s feet and he is pressed to do something about it.

KarenL: Another thing that’s mentioned quite a bit is getting you drawn into a case, like you knowing the victim or being at a crime scene when something happens – like you becoming more active in an investigation.

Tamala: Well, they do a little bit of that on episode four. It’s really fun too! There’s a time when this rock star gets killed, and they were doing a documentary when they were going on tour, and so now that he’s dead the documentary people are there. And you know, when the cameras are on, people act differently. So Lanie gets a little bit involved in that way… and you gotta see her. She’s so over the top in that way. Just performing for the cameras as well as Castle.

KarenL: I bet Nathan enjoyed that too, he’s an over-actor sometimes too.

Tamala: He is so funny in that episode, so hard not to laugh at him.

KarenL: We’d love to see more about Lanie’s family. I saw that a few years ago you said you’d want Pam Grier to play Lanie’s mom, is there anyone you would really die to have as a guest star?

Tamala: I would LOVE it, and I know she’s a movie actress, but Meryl Streep… if we could get her on Castle – that would be such an amazing episode. I think she would fit right in.
