SCIFI AND TV TALK: Warehouse 13's Allison Scagliotti - Sense of Responsibility

By Steve Eramo
08/08/2012


As far as techies go, Warehouse 13’s Claudia Donovan is among the best. More than once she has come up with a last-minute solution to help resolve the Artifact-induced crisis of the week and save the day. Just as Claudia can be counted on in a professional crisis, the same is true with her friendships. In last year’s penultimate episode Emily Lake, Claudia was devastated when friend and fellow Warehouse agent Steve Jinks was murdered while working undercover. She vowed then to use an Artifact to set things right, no matter what the cost.

Claudia’s reaction to Steve’s death and her subsequent resolve to bring him back to life gave the actress who plays her, Allison Scagliotti, the opportunity to show audiences just how good her acting chops are.

Shooting Emily Lake was a rollercoaster ride and emotionally taxing,” recalls Scagliotti. “Every actor has a different approach to handling emotional content on-set in a scene, and mine changes. Sometimes I use my imagination, while other times I use a piece of music to evoke emotion. However, with the Claudia and Steve [Aaron Ashmore] dynamic, just rounding the corner in that hanger and seeing her friend lifeless was enough to trigger everything.

Claudia’s and Steve’s friendship developed so beautifully as well as honestly last year, that to have the culmination of that be an untimely death was all I needed for all that emotion to sort of flow out of me. I loved that the writers then gave my character this purpose with regard to Steve and giving him back his life. We know Claudia is incredibly loyal to the people who she loves and that she will go to the ends of the Earth to save them, as we saw when we first met her.

So I certainly enjoyed Claudia’s dedication to bringing Steve back. As far as episode two [An Evil Within] of this [fourth] season and filming his resurrection scenes, I thought I would have to prepare more, but I didn’t. I got to the set and all the built-up anticipation that I’d been sitting with – just like the show’s fans had to sit with for so many months of wanting this character to return – just swelled up. In fact, Steve’s resurrection episode is actually my favorite episode thus far in season four...”


Warehouse 13 airs Monday at 9/8C on Syfy.

SCIFI AND TV TALK: Alphas' Azita Ghanizada - Growing Pains

By Steve Eramo
08/10/2012


It is back to nature on this beautiful sunny spring day in May for Alphas’ Azita Ghanizada and the rest of the show’s cast and crew. They are at a campground in suburban Ontario to do some location filming for the season two story Alphaville. In one of the scenes being shot today, the actress’ character of Rachel Pirzad and her teammates are being given a tour of a commune where a group of Alphas, included Skylar Adams, played by returning guest-star Summer Glau, are living away from prying eyes. Spending some time off the beaten path seems to be appealing to Rachel as well as Ghanizada.

This is actually a lighter story for me, which is a bit of a welcome break because the first five episodes this season had Rachel all over the place,” explains the actress, sitting down for a chat in-between takes. “I was swimming underwater, doing rig work, running barefoot through hospital corridors and really exploring the limits of my character. For example, in episode four, Alone, something happens so explosive for Rachel that it could dissolve an entire relationship within the Alphas family.

So I think Rachel is happy to be out here in the forest, and it’s very appealing to her to see this little Alphas commune where everyone is like her. For my character, meeting people who are like her helps reaffirm the fact that she’s not a complete outcast, which is why Rachel clings closely to her Alphas family and is very comfortable there, more so than anywhere else..."

Alphas airs Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.

... Taken Back: Finding Haley

8-10 PM LIFETIME


Moira Kelly stars as a mother who thinks she's found the woman who abducted her daughter 12 years earlier. Despite the based-on-a-true-story premise, the movie bears all the cheesy marks of a mid-'90s Lifetime TV movie. Which is to say, the action eventually devolves into a ridiculous tussle between two gun-toting moms.

7:00 PM, SYFY

Not to be confused with the superior -- although not exactly Oscar-worthy itself -- 2002 Richard Gere chiller "The Mothman Prophecies," this 2010 offering has little to redeem it except an easy-on-the-eyes Jewel Staite ("The L.A. Complex"). Her character is a reporter with an ugly secret involving a friend's death years earlier. She's back in her hometown to investigate the titular local legend, and she and her partners in crime become his targets. By the way, that "crime" is shown, and it's icky.
