Jolene Blalock Talks About ENT Torturous Shooting Schedule and Her Upcoming Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 09:43, 10 January 2005 / Enterprise

Jolene Blalock is featured in the January 9th,, 2005 edition of the Sunday paper insert PARADE magazine in the column InStepWith by James Brady. Blalock talks about her new movie SLOW BURN, her long days shooting ENTERPRISE and calls Scott Bakula "amazing". Here are a few excerpts :

Asked about her demanding role as the Vulcan subcommander T'Pol on the UPN show, the busy actress said, "We work a 14-hour day. I report in at 5 A.M. for makeup. I wish it could just be spray-painted on, but it can't. But it's not so bad. The women who work on me are wonderful. We do a lot of gabbing."

When asked if the production team can't do these things digitally, she answered, "We have that as well. Some scenes that I'm in, I'm not really in them, but it looks as if I am."

Blalock described their shooting schedule as torturous. "Not that the first few seasons weren't hard," she explained. "And last season we came home with many more bruises. The story line changed, and for the better--not a plethora of evildoers now but more focused on fewer arch-evil characters."

And what about her captain? "Scott Bakula is amazing," she said. "He's an incredible leader for us."



The article went on to mention that Jolene also has a new film in the can with Ray Liotta and LL Cool J - a thrilled called SLOW BURN. She plays a sort of femme fatale assistant D.A. working for, but manipulating, Liotta. "She's on her own path of destruction," Jolene said. And Ray? "He's very talented. Everything he does is very sure and adamant." And LL Cool J - what's his role? "I can tell you he's an informant," she replied "But I don't want people to know all the twists and turns. This is one of those movies where the less said, the better." The article also mentions Blalock's interest in Thai boxing and photography.

Thanks to 'Angie Hood' for the excerpts.

Where is she when the camera is rolling then? Why isn't she on set for her scenes? I've never heard of anything like this on Star Trek. I feel kinda cheated, in a way.

She is smoking hot though. I guess I forgive her.
