![]() There are experiences that I have had in my past where I go in and I play something and they say, “Oh, you’re very strong.” Just because a character’s in a predicament and I’m not playing her victim-y or helpless, they consider it as strong. If the character’s not realistic or – let’s say, a lot of male directors sadly don’t always know. But yes, I’m always cognizant of trying to make it realistic. I want it to be realistic as much as possible. Much like there are a lot of sweet girl-next-door roles that are really women. So if that role has that, or has the potential for me to bring that, I would love it. So she is an aspiring lawyer or a prostitute on the street, we are all those things combined into one, and any woman can be anything at any given point, depending on the circumstances life presents her. I like roles that have layers, much as we do as women. TAL: I believe that there are many different walks in life, and us women are not two-dimensional by any means, even though some people may argue that or write them very superficial.

She’s just grasping at straws every single day.ĪX: Do you look for strength in the character when you’re deciding whether or not you want a role?

Tal, originally from Israel, starred in the series PYJAMAS in her native country. Jocelyn is trying to get on with her life, but she’s drawn into her father-in-law’s situation. It’s open to interpretation whether we’re witnessing a supernatural event, a man’s descent into madness, or both, but there’s no question that Harris is dangerous.Īlona Tal plays Harris’ daughter-in-law Jocelyn, a lawyer who has been raped, the incident that preceded PJ shooting himself. When Harris’ son PJ (played by Johnny Ferro) is declared brain-dead after a failed suicide attempt, Harris has a mental breakdown and becomes convinced that God is speaking to him directly and commanding him to exact vengeance.
