Kelly Hu guest-stars on this week’s episode of Castle as Scarlet Jones, a bodyguard to adult video mogul Beau Randolph. When her client turns up dead, Jones becomes embroiled in the crime while attracting the eye of Det. Esposito [Jon Huertas] in the process. TV Equals had fun talking with Hu about her guest role and whether Scarlet poses a threat to Esposito and Lanie’s [Tamala Jones] potential romance. Castle airs January 21 at 10:01/9:01c on ABC...

It was actually her movie–we didn’t actually have any scenes together but we were in the same film–called Stiletto.
