Shiri Appleby chatted with IF Magazine about her character Cate on “Life Unexpected” and playing a radio host. In addition, she talks about being on a television show. After the cancellation of “Roswell” Shiri worked on several feature films, but she landed a recuring role on “Six Degrees” in which she starred as Anya for six episodes. <\/p>\n
Later, she joined the cast of “Emergency Room” and played Dr. Daria Wade in the finale season. In the interview with IF, Shiri admits “I had been dabbling in television, but to commit to a TV show is really like committing to a marriage. It\u2019s a lot of your life. You\u2019re not seeing your friends, you\u2019re not seeing your family, so I don\u2019t want to commit to something unless I\u2019m fully behind it inside me and I did two other pilots that didn\u2019t make it this far, but with this show, I felt ready to do it again.”<\/em> <\/p>\n Shiri explains to the magazine why she loves playing Cate Cassidy on “Life Unexpected”. “What I like about the fact that the character is so complex is, you never get bored. She\u2019s never doing the same thing.”<\/em> Show creator Liz Tigelaar brought a love triangle in the show which centers on Cate, Lux’s birth father Baze as well as her fiance and co-host Ryan. The actress tells “With Baze, she\u2019s a sixteen-year-old; with Ryan, she\u2019s trying to be an adult. With Lux, sometimes she is a mother, sometimes she fails. By herself, she\u2019s very broken. There are so many facets to her, I don\u2019t get bored.”<\/em><\/p>\n “Roswell” fans are mentioned in this interview, too:<\/p>\n APPLEBY: Absolutely. Fans from ROSWELL have been amazing. They have followed me the whole way. I\u2019m so grateful.<\/p>\n iF: Do you want to go back and forth between television and film, or do you have a preference?<\/p>\n APPLEBY: My preference is good material. I\u2019d love to do theatre, I\u2019d love to do film, I like to work with really good directors. It\u2019s really about just connecting with the material and telling a story that I can understand and connect to. I think what\u2019s very interesting about Cate that I respect a lot is that she\u2019s just trying. She\u2019s making a lot of mistakes and she\u2019s trying, but she\u2019s learning from them. It\u2019s like each episode, she\u2019s taking tiny little baby steps, and I think that\u2019s pretty interesting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[…]\niF: Do you still hear from people who are fans of yours from ROSWELL?<\/p>\n
