If only the writers of Intelligence had thought to use that, they might not be fearing the axe. So, which of her two best-known characters - Catherine or Lillian - is more like the real Marg Helgenberger? "Oh, probably Catherine." Then she adds: "She used to be an exotic dancer." What sort of husband might Lillian have? "I'm hoping he's a really nice supportive husband - that's my desire - because I think the job she has is tough and she goes home and she has somebody there that gives her emotional support and brings out her sense of humour, her girlish side, and allows her to relax." "We're yet to see a love life, although I purposely wore a wedding ring in the pilot episode and I never took it off," she says. But now she wants to give Lillian a softer side. Helgenberger says viewers love to see her playing a strong woman and she is proud of the two hashtags she has been given: "margincharge" and "BAMF" (which she would like Australians to know is an Americanism for "Bad Ass Mother F-er"). A lot of people are waiting for me to fall and second-guessing my decisions, so I have to be pretty firm in the way I come off with my colleagues." This is an experimental piece of technology that we're working with, worth a lot of money and a lot of governmental oversight. I am trying to put out fires all throughout the globe. When I remark that Lillian seemed "uptight" in the first episode, Helgenberger leaps to her defence: "I wouldn't describe her as uptight. Helgenberger would love the opportunity to develop her character Lillian Strand, head of an organisation called Cyber Command, which built the $6 billion Bourne. At 10 o'clock at night, a lot of people are shutting their brains down." It is smartly written and you kind of have to pay attention. "There's four comedies leading into Intelligence and they are completely different audiences. Helgenberger blames that on the time slot - 10pm on a Monday. Most US media pundits expect the worst, because ratings were not impressive. It has just completed a run of 13 episodes in the US and Channel Seven is launching it here on Wednesday - just in time for the announcement from the CBS network on whether it will be renewed. If by chance you miss it, you watch it on Amazon Prime four days later.”īaer says he would do as many seasons of “Under the Dome” “as the audience gives us.Marg Helgenberger and Josh Holloway in Intelligence.

When I spoke to him on the phone, I was trying to get him to direct ‘The Night Shift.’ It was great to reunite as actors. “Paul and I had spoken on the phone in the last few months,” La Salle says. La Salle and McCrane had stayed in touch since “ER” ended in 2009. ![]() In the most recent episode, McCrane’s character cannot resist cradling the egg, the source of unbridled energy. Paul McCrane plays my best friend and co-founder of Aktaion, so we got a chance to work together.” This year they brought Paul McCrane on as well. “We had not seen each other in a while and we picked up where we left off,” La Salle says. Last season La Salle directed an “Under the Dome” episode in which his former castmate Sherry Stringfield, who played Dr. “Barbie’s father is the CEO of Aktaion, or so we have thought, but it turns out I am the person behind it. “The premise of this whole - I don’t want to call it a conspiracy - but the company, Aktaion, has had a lot to do with a lot of the bad stuff under the dome,” La Salle says.
