SCIFI AND TV TALK: Alphas' Azita Ghanizada - Growing Pains

It is back to nature on this beautiful sunny spring day in May for Alphas’ Azita Ghanizada and the rest of the show’s cast and crew. They are at a campground in suburban Ontario to do some location filming for the season two story Alphaville. In one of the scenes being shot today, the actress’ character of Rachel Pirzad and her teammates are being given a tour of a commune where a group of Alphas, included Skylar Adams, played by returning guest-star Summer Glau, are living away from prying eyes. Spending some time off the beaten path seems to be appealing to Rachel as well as Ghanizada.
“This is actually a lighter story for me, which is a bit of a welcome break because the first five episodes this season had Rachel all over the place,” explains the actress, sitting down for a chat in-between takes. “I was swimming underwater, doing rig work, running barefoot through hospital corridors and really exploring the limits of my character. For example, in episode four, Alone, something happens so explosive for Rachel that it could dissolve an entire relationship within the Alphas family.
“So I think Rachel is happy to be out here in the forest, and it’s very appealing to her to see this little Alphas commune where everyone is like her. For my character, meeting people who are like her helps reaffirm the fact that she’s not a complete outcast, which is why Rachel clings closely to her Alphas family and is very comfortable there, more so than anywhere else..."
Alphas airs Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.
