Meaghan Rath Exclusive Interview BEING HUMAN
by Christina Radish Posted: January 14th
On SyFy’s re-imagining of the popular BBC television series Being Human, Montreal native Meaghan Rath plays a ghost named Sally, who is a young woman searching for the truth behind her early demise. In life, she was vivacious, smart, funny, driven and excited about her engagement to her college sweetheart. She now lives in the apartment they once shared, along with a vampire named Aidan (Sam Witwer) and a werewolf named Josh (Sam Huntington/read our interview with him here), as she learns to navigate her new ghostly existence.
In a recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actress Meaghan Rath talked about how excited she is to be a part of Being Human, how she hopes that fans of the original series will gave this version a chance, the fact that 13 episodes will give them a chance to expand and add storylines, and the unusual challenge of playing a character that no one can touch because she is a ghost...
... How did you come to be a part of Being Human?
RATH: I remember getting the sides and the script from my agent, with a breakdown of what the show was about. I didn’t know about the British show before I started preparing for the audition. I remember immediately connecting with the story and the character, and I auditioned. I was called back a couple of times to do some auditions with Adam Kane, who’s our executive producer, and he directed the first two episodes and the finale, and I remember really connecting with him. And then, they flew me to L.A. to do the screen test, and that was that. At the screen test, Adam came out and gave us all a little individual pep talk and gave us some last minute direction, and when he was talking to me, I was just in my head going, “This can’t be it. This can’t be the last time I work with this guy.” He had so many great ideas, and I loved what he was saying and how he was saying it to me. We really connected and I was like, “This can’t be it! I have to get this.” So, it all worked out...
BEING HUMAN premieres on SyFy on January 17th
