Quotes Through my agent. But as soon as I got this audition, I was really intrigued just because I actually was a big fan of Walter Mosley as a novelist. And when I found out that he was not only still attached to the project, but he was executive producing, show running, but more importantly, that he was writing all of the scripts, I was really excited. He was quite a challenge [laughs]. Auditions these days are so challenging, because they’re not in person, everything is in these Zoom rooms. But nonetheless, you know, I was like, let’s do this thing. But Sam was just – looking back now I wonder if his whole goal was, ‘Let me see if this girl can handle working with me,’ you know? Throughout the whole audition, I mean, over and over again, if I would make a choice he would literally say, “Oh, so that’s your choice? That’s what you’re going with?” I think reading all of the story, the literature and the character clues about Ptolemy allowed me to fall in love with [Sensia], with the time [period] and with him. And that’s the biggest thing. I think our research always has to be something that allows us to fall in love with our character. My job most of the time is to create a character out of nothing and sort of imagine a thing. This one was like, “Oh my gosh.” I mean, come on. We all love Zoe Saldana and we love all the Marvel characters so much. I think for me, the only thing that made it easy is that I am a full-on Marvel nerd. So yeah, I felt definitely a bit of pressure, but also confidence in the fact that I knew Zoe’s voice, [Gamora’s] wry sarcasm, her very well-earned sense of superiority, because she is a master warrior and also the favourite child of her maybe not so beloved father. All of those things were things that I felt really tied to and familiar with and so if anything, yes, it was a challenge, but it was also just so much fun. ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ Star Cynthia Kaye McWilliams on Voicing Marvel’s Gamora, Working With Samuel L.
