[00:02:17] My name is Anna Silk.
[00:02:18] For six seasons, I played Bo on the hit TV series Lost Girl.
[00:02:23] And my name is Rachel Scarston.
[00:02:25] For three seasons, I played Tamsen.
[00:02:27] Welcome to the Lost Girl rewatch podcast.
[00:02:30] A show where we will look at all the episodes, share some behind the scenes stories, and
[00:02:35] chat with some very special guests.
[00:02:38] On the show our relationship was sometimes rocky.
[00:02:42] But in life, our friendship is rock solid.
[00:02:45] We are so glad you are here to join us this trip down memory lane.
[00:02:50] We love that the family is back together again.
[00:02:53] Hello, everybody.
[00:02:58] Welcome back to my dog working and the Lost Girl rewatch podcast episode six, where we're
[00:03:07] going to be talking about Lost Girl episodes 11 and 12 season two.
[00:03:13] We have a very special guest that I'm very excited about because, well, for many reasons
[00:03:17] actually, but one of the biggest reasons is because I actually don't know her that well.
[00:03:21] So I'll get a chance to get to know her a bit.
[00:03:24] I have to say in rewatching these episodes, I think this was one of the best casting
[00:03:30] choices in Lost Girl history and I will tell you why in the episode.
[00:03:35] But Rachel, and I'm going to introduce you to her because you do not know her
[00:03:38] as well. Please help me welcome Lena Rossler.
[00:03:43] Yeah, I'm actually really excited to be when I I kind of feel like
[00:03:51] I would ask Anna asked me have you guys met?
[00:03:54] And I'm like, I don't think so.
[00:03:56] But I feel like I've met you because when I booked
[00:03:59] lost girl using Rachel, I just wanted to watch all of the episodes
[00:04:05] and you were like you coming in is something I so specifically remember
[00:04:11] about watching them even to this day.
[00:04:13] So yeah, I'm very excited to have you on.
[00:04:18] Thank you. That's really nice to hear.
[00:04:20] I think you cut off for two seconds, probably the best part.
[00:04:25] No, OK, we'll say it again.
[00:04:28] No, no, don't say it again.
[00:04:29] I appreciate it.
[00:04:30] No, I like the flattery is it's it's it's really nice to hear.
[00:04:35] Thank you so much.
[00:04:36] And it's likewise.
[00:04:37] I mean, it's really great to meet you in this context as well.
[00:04:39] I mean, we better in person.
[00:04:42] But yeah, I'm excited to be here and thanks for thanks for bringing me on board
[00:04:47] this cool, you know, revisiting of like a really amazing time.
[00:04:53] I know it's it's really interesting to rewatch, right?
[00:04:56] Like, I mean, it's been off the air long enough now that we're
[00:05:00] it's like we can look back and I don't remember these stories.
[00:05:03] And then watching them, I remember so much more about what's happening around me
[00:05:07] than story. But I remember.
[00:05:12] And one thing I said to Lena for everyone listening before she came on is
[00:05:15] I actually couldn't remember if she was really British or not
[00:05:18] because her accent was so good.
[00:05:20] I was like, I think she was British.
[00:05:23] You in fact are not British.
[00:05:26] Nope.
[00:05:28] Spoiler alerts. Yeah, I'm not British.
[00:05:32] But the funny thing is I remember I don't.
[00:05:35] So I'm just going to jump in and then in the middle.
[00:05:37] He's but I remember, you know, doing the table read and being asked
[00:05:43] at the table read if I could do an accent.
[00:05:49] And I was like, yeah.
[00:05:52] And then we started, you know, it was like the I think we're shooting
[00:05:55] like the next day or the day after it was really, really quick.
[00:05:58] And so I just remember being, you know, obviously really nervous
[00:06:02] because I think the tape, because I it was a tape that's auditioned for me.
[00:06:07] And yeah, it was not with an accent.
[00:06:11] So that is wild.
[00:06:14] See, that's you had a.
[00:06:16] Sorry. Had you ever done English accent before?
[00:06:19] I had done. Yeah.
[00:06:19] I had like a tiny role on actually cool, a really cool project.
[00:06:24] I'm not there in Montreal.
[00:06:26] Oh, yeah.
[00:06:27] And I played like a British journalist, but you know, had like three lines
[00:06:31] or something maybe whatever, but playing a British part.
[00:06:34] But but this was something else.
[00:06:35] It was like the whole character and it's so weird because it it really
[00:06:40] paints her in a different way, you know, whether it's absolutely aneurysms
[00:06:44] like how how she's moved.
[00:06:46] Like and and it's just adding another kind of layer
[00:06:49] onto onto something that you're trying to kind of come up with.
[00:06:53] Yeah, it was it was it was great.
[00:06:56] It was such a challenge and it was that I remember it was like, OK,
[00:07:00] can you do the accent?
[00:07:01] And it's like also, by the way, we're going to have like a love scene.
[00:07:05] Like that's probably the first thing that you shoot.
[00:07:09] Oh my God, just like sweat, like just start, you know what I mean?
[00:07:14] Word.
[00:07:14] What I feel like they always have love scenes, like at the top
[00:07:18] because they think it will be less awkward if you don't know each other.
[00:07:22] But I don't think that's true.
[00:07:24] I agree. I think you need a little time.
[00:07:26] Yes, like even like six days in, you know what I mean?
[00:07:30] Like so you don't know each other too well, but then you want to go on a first
[00:07:34] date and then yeah, you know, like little something you want to meet at the craft
[00:07:40] table a couple of times and have a snack.
[00:07:42] Morning. Yeah, something. Yeah, exactly.
[00:07:46] So, Lena, for everyone listening, so lost girl fans are obviously going
[00:07:51] to be really excited to hear from you because you were such a pivotal part
[00:07:55] in Dyson's history.
[00:07:57] And this is what we see in this, well, not in this episode actually,
[00:08:01] but we see it a little bit earlier in the season.
[00:08:04] But we get to see a little bit more of Kiara and Bo's relationship
[00:08:07] develop in this episode.
[00:08:08] So the first one we're talking about is Episode 11, which was titled
[00:08:11] Can't See the Fairest written by Shelly Scarrow and directed by Gail Harvey.
[00:08:17] And then we'll talk a little bit about Episode 12 as well,
[00:08:19] which was called Masks directed by Grant Rosenberg, who was also our showrunner
[00:08:23] that season, who was amazing and directed by Lee, written by Grant Rosenberg.
[00:08:27] Sorry. And directed by Lee Rose.
[00:08:29] So so you OK, so your audition for this was a tape.
[00:08:34] So you never actually read with Chris.
[00:08:35] Oh my God.
[00:08:36] And by the way, the tape is the first time I booked anything off of a tape.
[00:08:43] First of all, second of all, this is like inside her secrets.
[00:08:47] I didn't have a reader.
[00:08:50] OK, was like, I wonder if I could.
[00:08:53] I don't know who has these tapes.
[00:08:54] Like this is a thousand years ago, but it was like I did it kind of
[00:08:59] like a monologue part of it.
[00:09:01] And I was like, there's no way.
[00:09:03] Like, I don't know what I just did.
[00:09:04] That was the weirdest thing I've ever done.
[00:09:07] That's why it looks this strong.
[00:09:09] Yeah, this is wild. I love these stories.
[00:09:10] And I kind of want to like even then I was like, oh, I never look back.
[00:09:15] But even now, I sometimes watching all this,
[00:09:17] I was like, oh my God, you know, just you just remember all these things.
[00:09:20] And you're just like, holy shit, can we swear on this?
[00:09:22] Yeah, right.
[00:09:23] Wasn't it a scene that you ended up doing in the show?
[00:09:27] Yeah, I think it was just remember which scene it was.
[00:09:30] It was because that first step is like it was like.
[00:09:35] You know, like this medieval kind of set.
[00:09:37] I wanted to rewatch when I watched these two.
[00:09:39] I was like, oh my God, I want to watch the whole season.
[00:09:43] But I only did it last night.
[00:09:44] So I was like, no, I don't have time.
[00:09:47] I really wish I could have gone back and like, you know, delved into it.
[00:09:53] But it was this it was a scene from like the first time that she's introduced.
[00:09:57] And anyway, yeah, it was this moment of just kind of doing it.
[00:10:02] Like I think she's like healing if she's saying something.
[00:10:04] So there is there's not a lot of a lot of back.
[00:10:07] I don't know how I got away with it.
[00:10:08] Like, but yeah, I'm very, very, you know,
[00:10:15] blessed and grateful that that I did.
[00:10:18] So yeah, yeah.
[00:10:20] Well, I think that, you know,
[00:10:23] obviously you're a wonderful actress,
[00:10:25] but also I think you were so perfectly cast in this role because,
[00:10:31] you know, you've got to come into a story at a point where
[00:10:37] they've kind of broken this love triangle up between Bo and Dyson and Bo and Lauren.
[00:10:41] And they're trying to give those characters other relationships and other stories.
[00:10:46] So it could have been an obvious choice to bring someone in who would be very
[00:10:50] adversarial with Bo, but instead they brought you in who is strong
[00:10:57] and smart and beautiful and all of those things, but also incredibly kind and warm.
[00:11:04] So that's almost a bigger threat to Bo because Bo ends up liking you.
[00:11:09] Right.
[00:11:10] Which I love instead of just like that bitch took my man.
[00:11:13] You know, it's like it was never that because you brought so much to it
[00:11:17] and there was so much respect between those two characters, which I really loved.
[00:11:21] Yeah, they did such it was it was and that is this episode.
[00:11:25] That's like what happens and they have their and, you know,
[00:11:29] it's the way that it starts off too with you and Kenzie.
[00:11:33] I love that scene.
[00:11:34] The leather jet.
[00:11:35] It's so funny too when I started just a little aside for I go to this
[00:11:39] I started watching the show and I was like, oh my God, like this makes me want
[00:11:42] to get a leather jacket.
[00:11:47] Like, oh, it's cool.
[00:11:48] Looks cool.
[00:11:49] You guys are like, that's an aside not to do with anything.
[00:11:52] But yeah, just just the way these female relationships are portrayed,
[00:11:56] which is really really cool and how yeah, the other woman and then like
[00:12:01] how the friend also has to kind of come to her defense.
[00:12:05] Yeah, come to the defense.
[00:12:06] This is my like, I'm not, you know, who's who's that?
[00:12:09] Like where to get like these loyalties.
[00:12:12] Yeah. And I thought they did it and it was it was really nice.
[00:12:14] Like this sort of shifting and and Kiara, my characters,
[00:12:18] is also trying to navigate like she's like the new,
[00:12:21] you know, the newbie in in the crowd,
[00:12:24] like obviously completely not of the same class background and like all that
[00:12:30] stuff, which also really interesting that kind of played with that in this
[00:12:34] episode with like that kind of status kind of ideas that comes out in
[00:12:42] in this episode and I think the next one as well.
[00:12:45] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:12:46] So it was really cool how you see, like, you know, speaking of that,
[00:12:50] like you see Bo in her black and purples and Kiara's in her white
[00:12:54] and winter whites and all that kind of stuff.
[00:12:57] And that was like we've talked about on this podcast before,
[00:13:01] how hair makeup and wardrobe really tells a story as well.
[00:13:04] And it really does in that sense in this episode.
[00:13:08] But do you remember that day of filming that first scene outside the dress shop?
[00:13:12] I remember that day being so exciting because we shot right at the corner
[00:13:15] of, I think, Bay and Bloor.
[00:13:17] Yes. So it's like right downtown Toronto.
[00:13:20] It's really bustling and busy.
[00:13:21] By then people knew what Lost Girl was, at least in Toronto.
[00:13:25] I think we had posters all over the subway at that time.
[00:13:27] So we were getting a lot of attention and it was exciting to be on this corner
[00:13:33] shooting the show because we were often in like dark caves.
[00:13:38] So so it was really exciting to be out on the street.
[00:13:42] And actually what's. Yeah.
[00:13:43] Sorry. One question I have for you just as an actor.
[00:13:48] What how do you find it to to join a cast that has been
[00:13:53] established, that is tight?
[00:13:56] I know, Rachel, you have a lot of experience doing this too.
[00:13:59] And it's just the joke.
[00:14:00] I like I come in in season three.
[00:14:02] Yeah. Right.
[00:14:03] Right. So many times.
[00:14:05] But like to step in and do that in a tight knit group is intimidating.
[00:14:10] Oh, yeah.
[00:14:10] Of course.
[00:14:11] It's kind of what's cool about it.
[00:14:14] And I guess I was kind of touching on this talking about the character herself.
[00:14:20] Like it's it's an easy metaphor to do that.
[00:14:22] Like she's coming in and also in this episode coming into the doll,
[00:14:26] coming into that bar and like, oh, it's like it's it's like going to
[00:14:30] or people always say this like it's first day at school and you're like,
[00:14:33] oh no, who am I going to sit with at lunch?
[00:14:35] Like, yeah.
[00:14:35] You know what I mean?
[00:14:36] And it's like, oh, like, am I cool enough?
[00:14:38] Like this this I mean this idea to come into the cat,
[00:14:41] like to come into a family that's established, you know, the.
[00:14:44] But as an actor, like going into routine,
[00:14:48] you guys know the studio, you know, the ropes, you know, you know,
[00:14:52] the crew, like super important.
[00:14:54] Like there's like inside things that happen, like that you get to be familiar with,
[00:14:58] like a nod or a look or whatever.
[00:15:01] There's this kind of language that develops naturally and as it should.
[00:15:05] And and that's what makes what makes a show like this great is
[00:15:09] because then you develop this language, you develop this kind of like
[00:15:12] paste with each other and whatever.
[00:15:15] And so I guess as like the outsider, of course, it's like a bit intimidating.
[00:15:20] But I think that worked for Kiara and in this in this context as well.
[00:15:26] She's she's is the outsider even more like she's like I said,
[00:15:30] the socioeconomic background and and and just a completely different vibe
[00:15:35] and bringing something something else that's like the way she's dressed
[00:15:38] when she walks into the dial to just like she's like, this is not your bar.
[00:15:43] No, you really stand out.
[00:15:45] Yeah.
[00:15:46] It's not your thing.
[00:15:48] So and like just how does how she's like,
[00:15:52] see it is weird to talk about this as though it's not me.
[00:15:55] But you know, like the character starts to feel like not you when you watch
[00:16:00] something 10 years totally.
[00:16:01] Yeah, it totally does.
[00:16:03] It was a trip to watch that.
[00:16:05] And remembering to like how I felt being on that set,
[00:16:10] like when we're doing certain things and like and it was so cool.
[00:16:13] Just just back to what you were talking about being on the street
[00:16:15] on Bloor and Bay or and that's like the shot.
[00:16:19] Like that set for whoever is listening and not from Toronto, maybe,
[00:16:23] but that's like that's for, you know, whatever, all the high end stores
[00:16:28] are all the luxury and like it's all there on that on that strip.
[00:16:34] But it's also to be shooting on location.
[00:16:37] But what I thought was so cool about working on this was going into the
[00:16:40] studio and looking at the like that bar set up and like the rooms
[00:16:44] and like walking through it's like you're walking in for me is I
[00:16:49] I'd only been in a couple sets before like that as an actor.
[00:16:53] And like when it becomes your home for all of you, like the cast,
[00:16:58] like that's something really special and weird to like these rooms become
[00:17:03] kind of like it's a real place, you know, but you're moving all
[00:17:07] through doing stuff.
[00:17:08] And I was listening to the lighting in this show and and then
[00:17:11] versus you go outside and it's like bright.
[00:17:14] Like, you know, it's it's cool and how they open that that episode is it's true.
[00:17:19] It's like jumping world.
[00:17:20] So yes, you too with your with the leather and the
[00:17:25] purples and the black and like you're in this like it's an eyeliner.
[00:17:29] Yeah, but like you're in this sort of environment that's like, yeah,
[00:17:34] just different. So it was totally fun to watch that. Yeah.
[00:17:37] Yeah.
[00:17:39] I I loved I mean, I loved so many things in this episode.
[00:17:45] I loved seeing, oh my God, the guest star that plays Maganda.
[00:17:52] I looked her up.
[00:17:53] That actress. Yeah. Pamela Matthews is that the name you found as well?
[00:17:57] So she was incredible.
[00:18:00] Like I had forgotten how incredible she was because it's hard to come in
[00:18:04] to play a lady who's trying to find her wood parts and make it
[00:18:08] compelling, but it was like heartbreaking.
[00:18:11] Her desperation was like a mother's desperation.
[00:18:14] And I actually remember the last scene with her where she comes out of the vault
[00:18:18] that we've locked her into.
[00:18:20] She comes out and she does that monologue.
[00:18:23] And I remember the whole crew like holding their breath because everyone was so moved.
[00:18:29] I literally was floored by her.
[00:18:31] And I remember feeling it on the day.
[00:18:33] It's just that I haven't seen it in so long, but she was phenomenal.
[00:18:36] It's I'm glad you brought it up because literally I I looked her up because I also thought
[00:18:41] like it was it goes also these roles and like
[00:18:46] we don't have to go into like, you know, what it might mean for an
[00:18:50] indigenous actor and like playing these roles like this kind of thing.
[00:18:53] But it was really interesting to watch.
[00:18:55] So I did wonder like and because her performance was so beautiful.
[00:19:01] Ground and like and what a weird, you know, like to be to do that.
[00:19:06] Also, the actors in the show, like the things that were asked
[00:19:10] yet is in this like mythological kind of story, this folklore,
[00:19:13] the things that you do to really like you're trying to ground it
[00:19:16] in this authentic kind of real feeling.
[00:19:20] But at the same time, it's there is like a bit of like humor underneath.
[00:19:24] There is a bit of whatever.
[00:19:25] But but she she was amazing.
[00:19:28] And I looked her up and turns out she's doing a film with a friend of mine
[00:19:31] right now. So I was like, oh my God, I've got to write it.
[00:19:33] Anyway, so it was.
[00:19:35] Yeah, I'll tell her that we have talked about it.
[00:19:39] Amazing. Oh, yeah.
[00:19:41] It's amazing. Amazing.
[00:19:43] Anyway, agreed.
[00:19:45] I also love that Kiara like so Bo needs to go to Kiara.
[00:19:51] Right? I love the transition of like, like, who's what do you mean?
[00:19:54] Who's going to help me?
[00:19:55] And then we go into the dress shop where, you know,
[00:19:58] Kiara is educating her about all the people, the rich people
[00:20:00] that are going to be there.
[00:20:02] But I also love that Kiara needs Bo, you know, she she wants to know more about Dyson.
[00:20:08] It really matters to her.
[00:20:10] So she's she needs a friend.
[00:20:14] Yeah. And, you know, yeah, it's really it's really it's really nicely written
[00:20:20] at the end too, when it's a jump to the end of the episode.
[00:20:23] But like, yeah, you tell her like, you know, you seem like really lonely
[00:20:27] and you see like, you know, and it's very I feel like it's very like it's hard.
[00:20:32] And and kudos to to you and your before like it's that's that's like, you know,
[00:20:38] I don't know, there's something really interesting happening with the two
[00:20:40] characters and as women who are just like, look, like this is this is the way
[00:20:45] it is now we're friends and Kiara tries to put in this brave face of like,
[00:20:48] no, no, you guys go to this party.
[00:20:50] It's totally fine. You need to do this.
[00:20:52] Like, I trust you were friends.
[00:20:54] Like she wants to do the right thing and she wants to like give respect.
[00:20:57] But as you say, at the same time, she's like once really she wants to be accepted
[00:21:03] so badly into the thing and also needs to know more about Dyson.
[00:21:07] Like he's like a enigma.
[00:21:08] I think she says, you know him much better now.
[00:21:13] I mean, we were together like what, a thousand years ago or something.
[00:21:17] So exactly. Literally.
[00:21:19] Exactly. So there's been, you know, there's been lifetimes in between that.
[00:21:24] So lifetimes in between.
[00:21:25] I know speaking of the undercover part, I love Dyson as Wendell.
[00:21:29] Oh, yes, he was very, very funny as a Wendell.
[00:21:34] And just in terms of story of the episode two,
[00:21:39] and this is a separate storyline, but all the stuff with Lauren
[00:21:41] and Lachlan was really powerful as well.
[00:21:43] And Zoe was incredible.
[00:21:44] So was Vincent Walsh.
[00:21:45] And, you know, Lauren gets thrown into a cell
[00:21:48] and all this crazy stuff is happening in that storyline.
[00:21:51] I just need to point it out because it is part of this episode.
[00:21:54] Walsh is like, oh, I know.
[00:21:56] I know.
[00:21:57] He's like his like evil books.
[00:21:59] I know.
[00:22:01] It was like the way he would move his head and like it was almost
[00:22:05] like he was constantly like sniffing the air of like, hmm, you know,
[00:22:09] what's going on here?
[00:22:10] But.

[00:22:58] Slash spoken today.
[00:23:03] Let's see here.
[00:23:04] I've got a lot of other notes.
[00:23:06] I also love the last scene with Kiara and Dyson in this episode
[00:23:12] where, you know, because Bo, Bo goes to her and says,
[00:23:15] like, be honest with him, like tell him, tell him what you want.
[00:23:18] And she does.
[00:23:18] And she says, will you love me back?
[00:23:21] Oh, yeah.
[00:23:22] And it's a beautiful scene with you and Chris.
[00:23:25] Yeah.
[00:23:26] It was done with such sensitivity and vulnerability and.
[00:23:30] And I love that Chris has to struggle a bit to.
[00:23:34] It's not that he wouldn't because you can see that love is there.
[00:23:36] But it's it's just really interesting and compelling.
[00:23:42] And you guys did so well.
[00:23:44] Yeah, it's beautiful.
[00:23:45] And I love that line, like.
[00:23:48] Will you love me back?
[00:23:50] It's so vulnerable.
[00:23:52] It's so it's so honest, but she has just taken Bo's advice and
[00:23:58] what really is like laying it out there and like.
[00:24:03] Yeah, it's kind of like this raw scene and it's true.
[00:24:07] Waiting for him to respond and what he's going to say.
[00:24:11] And he does do it.
[00:24:12] So it's like it's not that it's ambiguous, but it's like he doesn't
[00:24:16] say I'll love you back.
[00:24:18] He says, like I'll do my best or something.
[00:24:22] Like I can't remember exactly.
[00:24:23] It's not quite that, but it's kind of that.
[00:24:25] Like he doesn't really say yes, but she interprets it as yes.
[00:24:28] You want to ask Chris, Anna?
[00:24:30] He's in the lobby.
[00:24:31] I know.
[00:24:31] So we have Mr. Holden Reid here.
[00:24:37] And so we would like to invite him in and then ask you guys some questions.
[00:24:41] Oh, let's bring.
[00:24:42] Let's see what he is online.
[00:24:44] Yeah, OK, exactly.
[00:24:47] OK, here he comes.
[00:24:51] Yeah.
[00:24:53] Chris, it worked.
[00:24:56] Oh my gosh.
[00:24:57] So we are we are recording right now, Chris.
[00:25:00] And we've been chatting with the lovely Lena, who I know, you know,
[00:25:05] from back in the day.
[00:25:07] So now we have Dyson and Kiera back on screen again.
[00:25:12] Also, Chris, you and I are dressed the same.
[00:25:15] You're a sister from another mister.
[00:25:17] Come on, right?
[00:25:19] And actually, yeah, white.
[00:25:22] Literally behind me this whole time.
[00:25:24] And OK, wait, put it on.
[00:25:30] OK, we're starting to know.
[00:25:32] Oh my God, we are all coming over.
[00:25:35] No, this is actually on screen with the J crew catalog for.
[00:25:41] Two twenty four.
[00:25:43] I love it.
[00:25:45] I love it.
[00:25:46] Watching the episode and like honestly, you look amazing.
[00:25:49] You look the same as you did 15 years ago.
[00:25:51] Thank you.
[00:25:52] Bravo, whatever genes you got going on.
[00:25:55] Yeah.
[00:26:01] What's the question for you guys?
[00:26:03] I'm so excited.
[00:26:03] Sorry, I'm excited to see Chris and like you too.
[00:26:06] Like, yeah, so fun.
[00:26:08] What were your first impressions of each other?
[00:26:10] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:26:12] Oh, but what were your first impressions of each other
[00:26:14] when you met each other?
[00:26:15] Because Lena was saying that she auditioned by tape.
[00:26:18] You guys didn't read together until no.
[00:26:20] No, great.
[00:26:20] She's the only one who read with me and then threw me under the bus.
[00:26:26] Got all my grill.
[00:26:28] No, just we were auditioning together.
[00:26:30] And I think most of the listeners know this story,
[00:26:33] but so Chris was reading with me and at one point I thought,
[00:26:37] well, we're in the room.
[00:26:38] Everyone's here.
[00:26:39] I'm going to use the space and I just kind of went right up to him.
[00:26:42] And of course then it's quiet.
[00:26:45] And I'm thinking, oh my gosh, I forgot my line.
[00:26:46] It's my line and I don't know it.
[00:26:48] And then there's this moment that felt like 10 minutes, you know,
[00:26:52] of us just like standing stern each other.
[00:26:54] And then Chris is like, I'm sorry, I forgot my line.
[00:26:57] Thank goodness it wasn't me.
[00:26:59] But I guess he just wasn't prepared for it.
[00:27:02] I was like this close.
[00:27:04] That's amazing for that intimacy.
[00:27:06] But no, I remember I remember we met at the production office first.
[00:27:10] Yeah, it was when we had the reading.
[00:27:12] Yeah.
[00:27:13] And then you and I stayed around a bit after
[00:27:15] and I just remember being saying something along the lines of
[00:27:19] we have to have like a thousand year old relationship.
[00:27:22] We need to go out drinking tonight or more like ASAP.
[00:27:26] Remember we and we went to
[00:27:31] the Distillery somewhere, right?
[00:27:32] Liberty Village.
[00:27:33] That was it. That's right.
[00:27:34] Yeah. And then we're like, OK, we're meeting and it was like, OK,
[00:27:37] and I've got to do this accent and then we're going to have like a love scene
[00:27:39] and it was all like fast and furious.
[00:27:42] And jam jam jam jam jam jam.
[00:27:43] Yeah. But Chris is so lovely and
[00:27:47] I mean, obviously and warm and like welcoming
[00:27:50] and it's like it's going to be OK and supportive and like, OK,
[00:27:53] like don't worry, like I got you.
[00:27:54] Like it's going to be this is going to be fine, you know.
[00:27:57] And I think after a couple glasses of wine,
[00:28:00] I was right. I had ridden my bicycle over there and I doubled.
[00:28:03] I doubled her home on my bicycle.
[00:28:08] She's like on the back of Penley.
[00:28:10] Wait, where do you live?
[00:28:11] Yeah, really far away in college.
[00:28:14] What can't you make?
[00:28:16] That sounds exactly right.
[00:28:18] That sounds exactly right.
[00:28:20] I love that.
[00:28:21] Yeah, leveling on a bicycle to build a thousand year old relationship.
[00:28:25] There's nothing better.
[00:28:26] I mean, that's actually one of what that's actually it.
[00:28:29] That's amazing.
[00:28:30] When it would have worked otherwise, like, yeah, it would have.
[00:28:32] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:28:34] Oh, it was so nice.
[00:28:36] All awkwardness was out the window after that.
[00:28:38] It was just like, all right.
[00:28:39] She had a lot of my ass for four blocks.
[00:28:41] That's right.
[00:28:42] This is a go.
[00:28:46] Just testing her.
[00:28:46] She's like, yeah, I can make this work.
[00:28:48] Yeah.
[00:28:50] Yeah, that first episode there, like you look so like you fit that period so well.
[00:28:56] Like when you popped on screen with the the hair and talking to
[00:29:00] I can't remember the actor's name, but with and you did that accent
[00:29:03] so with such a lovely charm, like it was it was the character
[00:29:09] just flew right off the screen immediately.
[00:29:11] Yeah.
[00:29:12] Thanks. So that's so nice to hear.
[00:29:15] It was a trip to look back at that again and be like, oh my God.
[00:29:18] Like, whoa.
[00:29:20] But we talked about the accent too.
[00:29:21] And and I would say that really does give it's like putting on another
[00:29:27] costume piece, but more things of physicality.
[00:29:30] It brings like a movement.
[00:29:31] It brings like the way that she carries herself.
[00:29:33] It brings, you know, so much is just like another layer
[00:29:38] that that that can just like help.
[00:29:41] But it can also be, you know,
[00:29:43] it's that's terrifying if you if you if you miss one,
[00:29:46] if you look kind of like squash a vowel the wrong way or something
[00:29:51] happened, then you're immediately out of it.
[00:29:53] So you're just kind of kind of always thinking about it.
[00:29:57] It's a great power, but also a responsibility.
[00:30:02] It was done so well, Chris, that I had told Lena that I couldn't
[00:30:05] remember if she was actually British until we got this turn of talking.
[00:30:08] I was like, I just think she's British.
[00:30:10] I just can't remember because it was so it was so great.
[00:30:15] No, and I was also saying it's one of the best casting
[00:30:18] choices in lost girl history.
[00:30:20] We had great guests on the show, of course, but I just feel like it was
[00:30:23] so spot on because it created this real warmth to the character
[00:30:29] and made Bo have to really like her.
[00:30:32] You know, he can't not like her, which I really loved.
[00:30:36] And you also have an intensity and intelligence to your character
[00:30:40] that rocks that role like it.
[00:30:42] It didn't you brought a genre.
[00:30:44] You elevated the genre with with with your style in New York.
[00:30:49] Absolutely. That's nice.
[00:30:54] You also one of the things that really struck me that I remember,
[00:30:57] I think I commented on it maybe and I get embarrassed at the time.
[00:31:01] But in that shot when you were leaning in and you smiled,
[00:31:03] you have one sort of canine tooth.
[00:31:05] And I was like, I love that.
[00:31:07] I love that. Yeah.
[00:31:09] Yeah, she has like one sort of canine like a bit of a thing.
[00:31:12] And I was like, that's a fairy fang right there.
[00:31:16] I love it.
[00:31:17] But only Chris would would recognize it as a fang.
[00:31:20] Well, I hate to say it.
[00:31:24] I've since like had Invisalign and my little fang is like,
[00:31:27] it's still there.
[00:31:28] You still kind of have to think it's actually very cool.
[00:31:30] Yeah, Chris.
[00:31:31] No, it is very cool.
[00:31:33] When you got one shot, you lead to the smile that hit it was just like,
[00:31:37] I know in the lab.
[00:31:39] Yeah, I noticed it too.
[00:31:41] It's like, damn, that thing.
[00:31:43] I think I even say the word fang because I'm talking about the snake.
[00:31:47] The snake lady.
[00:31:47] Snake.
[00:31:48] And then I'm like, talk about your own fangs.
[00:31:51] Yeah, anyway, I love it because she's a fairy, right?
[00:31:54] I was like, and a lot of fairies in mythology have fangs.
[00:31:57] Yeah, it's true.
[00:31:58] I was like, yeah.
[00:32:00] Typecasting. Yeah.
[00:32:03] So so I know it's weird to be someone who, you know,
[00:32:08] it must be weird to be someone who was on the show for a little period of time.
[00:32:12] I don't know if you understand the level of fandom
[00:32:16] that Lost Girl built up over the years.
[00:32:19] And I'm wondering if you have had any fan encounters?
[00:32:24] Well, when this is but this is a while ago
[00:32:29] and it's actually back to this British accent, but I wasn't going to like toot
[00:32:33] my own horn, but now I will have to because you asked me.
[00:32:37] My sister lived in Berlin for a long time
[00:32:40] and she had a roommate that was a Lost Girl fan.
[00:32:46] And when I came like, I came to visit,
[00:32:50] but she didn't put it together that because I didn't have a British accent.
[00:32:54] My sister is Canadian and I like blew her mind.
[00:32:59] She was like, what?
[00:33:00] Like she couldn't understand that first of all, that her roommate's sister
[00:33:05] was on the show that she loved so much.
[00:33:08] And second of all, that yeah, I was just just Canadian.
[00:33:13] It's like, right.
[00:33:14] So that you remember her first name?
[00:33:17] Maybe she listens to me.
[00:33:18] She give her a shout out.
[00:33:19] Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
[00:33:20] I don't.
[00:33:22] OK, that's my sister and she will definitely remember.
[00:33:26] But that was that was very, you know, that was cool.
[00:33:29] And maybe once in an airport or something, but it was like, I don't know.
[00:33:35] I don't know. Yeah.
[00:33:36] I had a total fan moment of Nina when I saw her in the airport.
[00:33:39] I was like, oh my God.
[00:33:42] It's actually the person she's talking about.
[00:33:44] She's talking about. Yeah.
[00:33:46] Yeah, it's actually you, Chris.
[00:33:47] He mixed it up.
[00:33:48] I think it was. Yeah.
[00:33:49] He was tall.
[00:33:50] I was like, handsome.
[00:33:51] I mean, yeah, I think it now now I remember.
[00:33:55] I'm a goofy.
[00:33:56] Yeah, I'm goofy.
[00:33:58] So so you guys have only seen each other that one time since working together?
[00:34:04] No, we saw in the beginning, we saw each other around a bunch.
[00:34:06] And then the airport for a while.
[00:34:09] And I don't think we've seen each other since the airport.
[00:34:11] I mean, I I message you on Instagram a lot because you've become
[00:34:15] you know, the director that you become in the projects you're putting out.
[00:34:17] Like I'm always like, yeah.
[00:34:20] Yeah, we need to have a coffee and talk about writing and directing and different
[00:34:25] love to hear your experiences.
[00:34:27] You guys know that she directed Michael Cain, right?
[00:34:29] No, we don't know anything because we have not asked her
[00:34:32] whether we're going to ask what she has been up to.
[00:34:34] So please, Lena, please tell us.
[00:34:38] Well, that was obviously an amazing experience.
[00:34:42] But yeah, I've since I've since lost girl
[00:34:46] and doing other acting things, I started doing some short films
[00:34:51] like writing and directing shorts.
[00:34:52] And then I recently did first feature, which was starred Michael Cain
[00:34:57] and Aubrey Plaza and it came a couple of years ago right after
[00:35:02] like in covid time and we were going to be a gala presentation at Berlin Alley.
[00:35:09] But it was covid and all.
[00:35:12] But anyway, best sellers is the film.
[00:35:15] And yeah, so so now I'm I'm I'm officially a director.
[00:35:22] Amazing. That's beyond amazing.
[00:35:25] Oh my God.
[00:35:27] One of Michael's last performances, right?
[00:35:29] Since he was in the last film.
[00:35:31] Yeah. Wow. He was 97 when we were together, you know?
[00:35:37] So he was no.
[00:35:40] He'd say it himself.
[00:35:41] No spring chicken.
[00:35:43] But what what a guy and we don't have to go into like this at all.
[00:35:47] I don't want to. But but obviously this is this was like a huge,
[00:35:52] you know, a huge thing for me in my life.
[00:35:55] And like a different fork, a different path.
[00:35:58] And I miss acting. I love it so much.
[00:36:00] So and I would love to like just just talking about I've been like
[00:36:04] the accents and stuff, like being back in on that side of things
[00:36:08] and like creating characters.
[00:36:10] But all those things are what helps serve me as a director
[00:36:14] and writer as well and looking at looking at story and all these things.
[00:36:19] So that's really, really fun and thrilling and just yeah,
[00:36:24] really cool for me. Yeah.
[00:36:27] Well, that's amazing.
[00:36:28] Yeah. Honestly, I've blown away.
[00:36:30] That might have been one of the best.
[00:36:31] What are you up to? We've ever done.
[00:36:33] Yeah.
[00:36:33] Oh, I know.
[00:36:35] I mean, I feel like most of them are like most of them are like
[00:36:39] between projects.
[00:36:41] And that's true.
[00:36:43] But well, no, that's great.
[00:36:44] That's very exciting.
[00:36:46] That's very, very exciting.
[00:36:47] You're incredible.
[00:36:49] And we are thrilled to have you.
[00:36:52] And I I really can't thank you enough.
[00:36:54] And I know that the fans are going to love to love this episode
[00:36:58] and love hearing from you.
[00:37:00] Kiara was a really special part of the show
[00:37:03] and certainly a special part of Dyson's backstory.
[00:37:08] Which we have talked about with Chris and
[00:37:11] is is just such a rich part of the lost girl history.
[00:37:15] So thank you so much.
[00:37:18] Like I said, I'm so I'm so proud to be
[00:37:21] part of it, you know, and it's really, really great
[00:37:23] to kind of come back and talk about it.
[00:37:26] And I'm so glad I'm going to watch all of it again.
[00:37:29] Just looking at it.
[00:37:30] Oh my God, there's that.
[00:37:32] And I want to I want to go back and do like a marathon,
[00:37:35] you know, marathon.
[00:37:37] Yeah, that's what we're doing.
[00:37:39] Yeah, for sure.
[00:37:40] Well, there was another episode that
[00:37:42] Leen and I did pretty intensely further down the road.
[00:37:45] So maybe we'll come back for that one.
[00:37:47] I can't remember what it was, but absolutely.
[00:37:50] It was.
[00:37:52] It was somewhere in the teens of that season,
[00:37:54] like down the road.
[00:37:56] I'm going to watch them all.
[00:37:57] So let me go and maybe we'll snag
[00:38:01] her back since she's in between gigs.
[00:38:03] There you go.
[00:38:05] We have to all wear turtleneck sweaters.
[00:38:07] And I know I don't think I have a white colored turtleneck.
[00:38:10] I have other colors.
[00:38:11] We're versatile.
[00:38:13] Oh, you're very well.
[00:38:14] We'll start a text chain, a turtleneck.
[00:38:16] You just tell the color you want and we'll we'll meet you there.
[00:38:20] OK, this is what turtleneck color they would like.
[00:38:24] Yes.
[00:38:25] What's that?
[00:38:26] It's like a skirt.
[00:38:28] We're not going to do that.
[00:38:28] Sorry.
[00:38:31] This totally is like some weird sort of abba
[00:38:33] from a different dimension sort of thing going on here.
[00:38:39] Who can sing? Not me.
[00:38:42] So good to see you.
[00:38:43] And yes, we'll do coffee and I would love to catch up.
[00:38:45] Yes.
[00:38:46] Did you just have to promise to take her home on your bike?
[00:38:50] Yeah, it's going to be.
[00:38:52] You have to promise to actually just maybe drive her home like a driver.
[00:38:55] Home.
[00:38:56] Thank you.
[00:38:57] I can't afford a car.
[00:39:01] It's like roller blades are home.
[00:39:04] Oh, yeah.
