For the love of all things Fae, the Syfy series LOST GIRL has invited viewers into a fantastically fun universe were the supernatural live amongst us. Walking the fine line between the Light and Dark Fae factions is Bo, a “chosen one” who has decided to align herself with humans – and making herself their appointed guardian, although usually for a price. Aiding in Bo’s adventures is her trusty friend and ally, Kenzi, and her reluctant Light Fae friend and sometimes lover, Dyson. Taking a few minutes to chat with press in a recent conference call, stars Anna Silk, Ksenia Solo and Kris Holden-Ried reflected on what makes the Fae stories so intoxicating and irresistible...
... Q: What do each of you like best about working in sci-fi and if you have had any downside working in it?
Kris Holden-Ried: "I love working in sci-fi and fantasy genre because it allows us to have so many different creative story lines and characters that we can explore. I mean having super powers or being able to be really old, these are things that, as an artist, we don’t get to often explore or learn to express. It’s a lot of fun. It’s very imaginative and it’s a great playing field to work with. So, yeah, I’d do it all the time. The only downside is – one I don’t really get — but the girls, I guess, have to wear a lot of tight uncomfortable fitting corsets and stuff."
Ksenia Solo: "I think the only downside is when you have like crazy intense emotional scenes but you’re acting against a green screen, or like a tennis ball. Like that’s always an interesting experience, and you always feel a little bit stupid I have to admit but the challenge is just making it as real as possible. But I completely agree with Kris that you get to kind of go outside of reality and it’s always a lot of fun. You get to go wild."
Anna Silk: "Yeah, I mean you get to just play. This scenario on the show and the circumstances and all the stuff that’s going on is really real to these characters. And we take it seriously but we don’t necessarily take the world that seriously because it’s crazy Fae world, so we get to laugh at it a lot too and have fun with it. But the downside — I don’t know, I mean I guess along the lines of what Ksenia said, I’ve had to sword fight something that’s not there, and it’s a little weird. But you just have to trust that it’s going to look good in the end, and it usually does. So it’s good..."
Lost Girl airs Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.
