Juliet Landau - Words Of The Prophecy

Interview:

Genre fans will no doubt be aware of Juliet Landau who has made memorable appearances in such genre classics as 'La Femme Nikita' and 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' to name but two. To fans of 'Millennium' she will remain forever identifiable as 'Jeannie Bronstein' the young lady who's unborn child was coveted by a fundamentalist Jewish group who wished to realize unfulfilled prophecy regarding the Messiah. Always in demand, we are extremely grateful to Juliet for taking time from her hectic schedule to talk to us.

BACKTOFRANKBLACK.COM: 'Forcing The End' was an incredibly bold piece of television for its time and is often uncomfortable viewing as it has, at its heart, a narrative that involves a pregnant woman who is subsequently blindfolded, bound, kidnapped and suffers the trauma of having her labour induced and her baby abducted. How emotionally demanding are scenes such as those on the actor? Kristen Cloke remarked that intense scenes like these require a lot of trust between those performing them, would you agree with her remark?

JULIET LANDAU: I agree with Kristen Cloke. When you get a script like "forcing the end" it is just so amazing you feel scared and excited at the same time. The writing is so good it just drives everything.

BTFB: I recall an interview you gave some time ago in which you mentioned problems you had experienced with certain scenes appearing on paper to be almost identical to those that followed them in regards to content and how this concerned you with regards to how you would bring something fresh to your performances in those scenes. Do you recall how you were able to resolve these problems?

JL: That is a secret!
