De Amerikaanse TV serei Training Day speelt zich 15jaar na de gebeurtenissen van de gelijknamige film uit 2001 af en zien we hoe rookie agent Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) zijn training day krijgt bij Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) die aan het hoofd staat van de Special Investigation Section (S.I.S.) team die zo'n beetje schijt hebben aan de wet en op het niveau van de criminelen hun werk doen. Vanaf 2 februari zal deze show op de Amerikaanse TV te zien zijn en daar om had de website Coming Soon een interview met Katrina Law die de echt TV Serie fans kennen uit Spartacus en haar rol als Nyssa Al Ghul. In Traing Day speelt ze een stoere agente, maar daar over meer in het interview zelf, waar van je hier onder alvast een klein stukje kan lezen.


ComingSoon.net: Tell us a bit about your character.

Katrina Law
: Okay, so I play Detective Rebecca Lee, a detective in the SIS [Special Investigations Section] division of the LAPD. She is extremely loyal to Frank Roarke, played by Bill Paxton. One of the reasons she's so loyal is to him is because Frank, when she was nine-years old, he saved her from human trafficking that ended up happening in Los Angeles. And she sees him as a hero, as a father figure. He didn't personally take care of her, but he did watch over her and made sure she was in a good foster home, so as she grew up, she just idolized him more and more, and believes in his way of taking criminals off the streets. She wanted to follow in his footsteps, which eventually got her into the LAPD. And now she's on the squad.

ComingSoon.net: In the first few episodes, you're in a scene with a monkey and a scene with a shark! That monkey was terrifying!

Katrina Law
: [laughs] There is a surprising amount of animals on this show! Okay, so the monkey was the most amazing thing you've ever seen. First of all, it had three-inch fangs and was running around in a diaper, so it was very confusing about how you should feel about this monkey. I was kind of like, "oh, I want to cuddle it, but you have teeth that will rip my face off." [laughs] It's always fun working with animals, but at the same time, animals are unpredictable, so it was not like everyone was running around trying to touch this monkey. We were leaving the monkey and the trainer alone and letting them do their thing. These monkeys were amazing. We had a male monkey and a female monkey, and the male monkey was the one who ran around and jumped very happily onto the guy's lap. It was the female monkey that would scream on cue. So it's really funny. She was sitting there, very happily during the scene, and then the guy would make - I think he was snapping his fingers and all of a sudden she'd start screaming. Then he would do whatever the action was again and then she would just stop and be like, "oh, great, yay!" Yeah, but it was very scary when she was screaming.
