Brutto segno in arrivo per 7 di 9...
Non è MAI cosa buona quando un attore fatica a immedesimarsi in un suo personaggio storico. Solitamente vengono fuori troiai. L'ultima volta che è successo in Star Trek è stato Nemesis, dove col senno di poi tutti hanno fatto gli splendidi dicendo come fossero stati stravolti i loro personaggi, ma che sul momento stavano zitti zitti tutti perché avevano da pagare le bollette."Jonny saved me," Ryan says on Deadline's Star Trek: Picard podcast. "I was panicking… He saved my ass, totally, because I was panicking, totally, when I finally saw the first script. And I know, for this character specifically… I had four years of playing a character that was very specific. And she went from being full Borg to meaning mostly human, but there was a lot of transition, but she was still pretty stylized and specific at the end of that four years.
"This is 20 years later, and when I saw the first script, not knowing a lot of or really any of the backstory yet… I panicked because I couldn't find her voice. I couldn't hear her in any of this dialog because it was so different. Her voice was so specific for those four years. Partly because of the character the way it was written and developed but partly also because Brannon Braga wrote or rewrote most of Seven's dialogue over that four-year period. Not every line, but a lot of it, so it was a very specific voice. And this was so different, so much more casual and human and slangy and not Seven to me, and I panicked."
So what did Del Arco tell her that helped her find Seven's voice again? "I just said to her… just try this: pretend she's pretending to be more human just to fit in," he says. That gave Ryan her way back into Seven's psyche.
