The TV Addict 

I have lucked out in the past few months with some really great interviews, talking to some great down to earth people who are just trying to make a living doing the job that they love. Today’s interview is no different – Alexie Gilmore, from FOX’s intriguing NEW AMSTERDAM, had a few minutes to chat with me about her character and the show.

I had the opportunity to watch the first two episodes of the show, and I’m completely drawn in!
Alexie Gilmore: Oh good, it gets juicier and juicier.

We don’t get to see your character much in the beginning, but obviously we’ll see more as it goes.
Yeah, by the third episode, he finally finds me. So it’s interesting to see how that all plays out. Basically, the last time I saw him, he was dead so he has a lot of explaining to do.
When you first heard about the character of Sara, why did you want to play her?
I liked her because she’s very different from myself. She’s much more logical, and kind of thinks with her head, more than her heart. Actually, that kind of changes as the story goes along. I like that she’s smart and sassy and she’s very complicated. As the story goes on you find out that she has her own baggage, like everybody else. She’s not immortal or anything, but she’s got her own stuff she’s working through. I think a lot of women will be able to relate to her as well, as a single lady in New York.
