I didn’t even ask what character, I didn’t ask how often my character was featured. When they brought the series to me and they told me who Mira was - this incredibly smart and brave and resourceful South Asian girl - and that a South Asian actress was going to voice the character, and they were going to surround that character with a full foundation cast. What does it mean to be a part of this series which really highlights South Asian cultures and traditions? That’s definitely something that I relate to. They always envisioned Pinky to be so into goats or that came because I was just so excited to have a little animal associated with her. And you’d have to ask Sascha and Becca, but I remember when we went in to record the first few episodes, there was mention of a goat. I have an Instagram account just for my cats. It’s really interesting because I am a huge animal lover. Is that something you can relate to yourself? So now I’m down to singing on any cartoon.Īs you mentioned, Pinky sings about goats and she loves animals.
I would never have thought to sing and as Pinky singing this song about goats was great. So, those are the wonderful things about being an actor is that you learn things about yourself through a character. The big surprise to me was it sounded really good.
The pair are at odds, professionally, but when Ted assures Rebecca that she's not the only one who can see Rupert for the cad that he is, something shifts profoundly in her character - a nod to the bond that's beginning to form between the two. It's a subtle but brilliant bit of acting that Waddingham admitted almost didn't come together.Īs a Saturday Night Live alum, Sudeikis apparently has a tendency towards last-minute changes in the script - "Writing up against the wall," Temple joked - something that his co-star "balked" at, particularly in the emotionally fraught scene.See what happens when Marvel characters enter the world of classic TV. "Your insight into Rebecca, as a woman, is something that I've watched as we've done press together about it, and learning about how much she meant to you in a deep, deep way, that makes you have such an understanding of her, which is why she's an extraordinary character," Temple raved.Īn early turning point for the character, Waddingham recalled, came in a season 1 scene when Ted comforts Rebecca outside of her fundraising annual gala, where she's been upstaged by her ex, Rupert (Anthony Head), and is struggling to keep the cracks from showing on her polished facade. But as the character evolved, so too did the actress.
It's now hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Rebecca Welton, who, in the pilot, is the spurned new owner of AFC Richmond, hell-bent on ruining the team just to spite her lecherous ex-husband.
