NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (UPI) — Genesis Rodriguez says playing a helicopter pilot in the espionage thriller, Lioness , has taught her a lot about the dangerous world in which we live, but she doesn’t let it keep her up at night.
“You do the best to represent these lives and these stories. I think it’s important to be as realistic as possible to do that and relay the authenticity of it,” Rodriguez, 37, told UPI during a recent Zoom interview with reporters.
“Knowing too much? Sure. Sure,” she added. “I am a human, right? But, also, you can’t let things affect you. You have to protect your peace, always.”
Airing Sundays on Paramount+ the show casts Rodriguez as Josie, a new recruit for the CIA’s covert Lioness program, which infiltrates groups that pose global security threats. Zoe Saldaña plays Joe, the leader of the operatives.
As a fan of Season 1, Rodriguez said she was happy to see show creator Taylor Sheridan looking to add to the ensemble for Season 2.
