On the surface she’s this tough mafia daughter but underneath there’s clearly this deep humanity within her, whether it’s the love she has for her father Carmine Falcone or her romantic relationship with Sal Maroni. I found it did leave a lot of open interpretation so that was actually good for me as an actor.ĭar: Duality is a major theme in the film and we definitely see it with Sofia. So I did a lot of online research to learn about who she was.

I was not familiar with the comic ahead of time. I wanted it to come out more organically. But also I didn’t want to go too far into the research because I didn’t want it to inform my character too much. I did the abridged version of as much research as I could. I got the audition and I had a pretty short time frame to get it done. I don’t know if I knew at the time about Dark Victory. I’m curious if you indeed read The Long Halloween comic to prepare for the role but also the sequel comic Dark Victory to gain additional insights into the character?īerzins: I actually just focused on The Long Halloween. It’s a dream villain for me!ĭar: I know some actors choose to read the original comic source material while others go in blind relying solely on the script. It was really wonderful I got to work with him before because he’s a fantastic director and I was so excited to be thought of for the role of Sofia. I think that experience I had on ThunderCats with Wes probably informed him that this would be a good role for me. When they’re looking for a badass woman that’s usually my bread and butter like the Vikings or the villains, which I’m honored to be a part of. I have built a reputation with some of my clients. I’ve known Wes for several years and he’s sent me a lot of opportunities. Laila Berzins: I definitely think that played a role. Did that prior working relationship with him on ThunderCats Roar lead him casting you as Sofia Falcone? Like ThunderCats, you get to voice yet another badass woman in The Long Halloween but you also get to work with voice director Wes Gleason again.
