Hah! Penny would kick all of our asses. Well, at the beginning of the year, we were all having lunch and Dennis said to me, "Well, I'll see you at the Christmas party." So, yeah, a lot of the time we don't see the people who are on other sets. Actually, the plus side of that is that it's an ideal working environment. The days that the other storylines shoot, we get to stay home. We actually get time off. No one works all the time. Even Kiefer gets days off.
But yeah, we all get along really well. I go out with Michelle [Forbes] all the time. I've gone out with Sarah [Clarke], Laura [Harris], and Kiefer. Carlos [Bernard] is hysterically funny. He has this dry sense of humor where he lets you think he's serious for the longest time. One week he had Kiefer convinced that he was wearing a hairpiece. He kept coming up to Kiefer and saying, "Is this on right?" And he's always doing stuff like that.
He's my favorite, actually. I've never been into blonds, so I appreciate Kiefer aesthetically, but I prefer…
You like the darker guys. Yeah, it was funny. When I had the whole lesbian storyline coming up, we were wondering who they'd cast. We thought with the name "Carrie Turner" she was going to be another blonde. And I was like, "Please, there are enough blondes on this show, she's gotta be a brunette!" So Carlos found out who they were casting and he was like, "Well, let's just say that Michelle has a thing for the Latins!" I guess he is kind of cute…it's just weird, when you work with someone, you just don't see them like that. I mean, he's married. It's not that I don't see him as attractive, it's just he's Carlos, you know? He's my buddy.
So what's Kiefer like? Sorry, I have to ask.
[mimicking] "What's it like to work with Kiefer?" [laughs] It's great. He's great. He's so professional on the set and he's so much fun off the set. He sets the bar for the cast and crew. We all look to him to set the standard. It's the best set I've ever worked on and I think a lot of that is due to Kiefer. He comes in -- even if he's not supposed to be on camera that day -- and does off-camera work with the actors. A lot of actors won't do that, especially if they're…well, Kiefer. It's really funny, because you read what's posted on all of these websites and you'd think they'd have to have smelling salts on the set to revive all the "ladies" but it's not like that at all.
Were you a fan of his before you met him?
