NEW YORK POST: Sarah Shahi: I can not run in six inch Louboutins

January 21, 2011 by Jarett Wieselman

Millions of American's [have] met Kate Reed -- a zippy, zany court mediator who runs around San Francisco with the bounciest of hair and highest of heels. And while only one of those things will change in the episodes to come, I think star Sarah Shahi has found the perfect character for her special brand of exuberance.

But we had a couple questions base on the series premiere, so we rang up the equally perky star to talk about her new show, those heels and where both are going in the weeks to come...!

... PW: The first episode set up Kate's world nicely -- but in the weeks to come Richard Dean Anderson arrives to literally blow it up, right?

Sarah: Yes, he enters Kate’s life in a very mysterious way and he exits in the same way. But the information that he gives her sets up a lot of mystery – lots about Kate’s life that he didn’t know about before. And he definitely shakes her world up in a big way.

PW: Does that provide the episodes with a season-long throughline?

Sarah: Yea, that’s exactly what it does. To be honest, I don’t know if the network knew what they wanted at first. Don’t know if I’m supposed to say that, but … I’ll just be honest. At first it was something they wanted to address in every episodes, but then we realized we could hold some stuff back. So what his character brings does come up in every episode. It’s a mystery the audience will be teased with...

"Fairly Legal" airs Thursdays at 10pm on USA
