[Laughs] Well, Ive never donethatbefore!
So, I loved that I got to be a part of one of those moments.
Talk me through shooting the scene.
Well, it was all.
And I had to have that reaction over, and over, and over again.
AndthenI found out that they had to reshoot a couple of scenes because they didnt get it right!
So, I had to do it again on another day.
Yeah, so it was brutal.
I have to say, it was one of the hardest things Ive ever done.
[Laughs] Yeah.
And Trudy feels like this is her final shot.
And I think shes willing to die for it, finally.
Between takes, were you all cracking jokes or were you staying in character?
No, I dont think there was anyone who was doing any sort of method acting on that.
That would be quite terrifying.
Did they have to glue your hand to the table after Soldier hammered the nail into Trudy?
How did that work?
[Laughs] Yes, it is!
In the latter sections of the episode, you got to take part in some full-on action sequences.
What was that like?
You just have to throw yourself into it as naturally as possible, and I did it with gusto.
I actually did fall on my face, and afterwards everyone was like, That was a great take!
And I looked around and said, Does anyone want to ask me if Im okay?
Because I fell on my face.
At least you had comfortable clothing.
The outfit Pollyanna McIntosh was wearing looked like it would have been testing to put on and get off.
Thats got a lot ofstretch, mind you.
[Laughs] It was almost more like a really bizarre yoga outfit.
But she looked amazing in it.
Could you tease next weeks finale?
Im trying to think of how I would tease it without giving anything away.
Youd think I would be good at that at this point.
YouwereonMad Menfor seven seasons.
I had to be so tight-lipped for so long, now Im terrified Im going to say something wrong.
I would say, Things get wrapped up and indicate the possible next caper.
What do you have coming up?
it’s possible for you to see a portion of the Soldier/Trudy face-off from last nights episode, above.
