Quote
1 [on being a late newcomer to the cast of ‘Breaking Bad’] It was kind of like being the new kid at school – and also like gate-crashing an amazing party that’s in full swing. You feel lucky to be there but you’re not sure that you fit in.
2 [on her role as ‘Lydia’] I didn’t know how demented she was in the beginning. She seems to vibrate at a very high-pitched frequency – constantly in a fight-or- flight mode, you know? I feel like she’s gone from being rather cold to completely glacial. She’s almost like a little Nazi in these last episodes.
Fact

2 Lives in Glasgow, Scotland.
3 She was initially cast as Jessica Brody in the pilot of ‘Homeland’ but was later replaced by Morena Baccarin.
