Thanks to the awesome people over at NBC's publicity department, I'm in the process of working out an interview with Deanne Bray, who plays the newcomer "Emma" in this season of Heroes! As usual, I want to try and bring in the fan element, so I'd love to see any questions you might have for Mrs. Bray, Heroes or otherwise.

As always, you can post them here, private message them to me, or send them in an email. biggrin.gif

First off, ask her if she knows yet that her character will be the one who saves Heroes from certain death... I kid guys, I'ma kidder.

All jokes aside though though, I do have a few questions.

Ask her if she can give us a quick rundown on her character, the way she sees Emma, you know? What made her want to play Emma (probably obvious, but still a fun question I think)? Did she contact NBC/Heroes Crew about playing the character or did they come to her? How does it feel to have a super power (haha)? What was it like working with Milo?

I'm sure I'll have others eventually, lol. When is the interview Rid? Do you know yet?
RiddlerHanjinome
The interview is... when I send the questions along. laugh.gif

If things were ideal, I'd get some nifty questions from 9thers (as well as my own questions, some of which I'm sure you guys will ask -- and Req did) and send them off in a week or two.

However, I want a decent variety of questions, so it might take a little longer to get it all together.

How well does she know ASL (American Sign Language)? What is her opinion of where the show is headed right now?
Yuriko
I'm wondering what she thinks about her character's potential in the Heroes storyline. With a seemingly useless ability compared to some of the other more "explicitly" powerful and useful abilities on the show, what does she hope Emma can achieve with her ability? How would she like to see Emma's ability be used?

I like those questions ^

How well can she read lips?
What is it like working with Louise Fletcher?
How does she see Peter and Emma's frienship developing?

Hey! I'd love to ask her what she thinks herself about the idea of her having Emma's ability to see sound as colour, would she like the idea of having this ability or does she have any opinions on that idea at all.

Thank you!

Here's a question for her: Does she think the writers will give her character the ability to tell when people are lying? Like will the words be red or blurred instead of blue/green/pink or whatever normal color words normally are.

n/m sorry

I thought of one! In "Hysterical Blindness," were you and Milo actually playing the piano together?

My question is: if she could get 100 % of her hearing back, would she want to get it back?
Please don't ask this one...

Sorry, but if you had a disablity you'd understand why.

Ask :: Do you know how popular your character is with the fans?
What is the most difficult aspect about playing your character?

Renrut-

The casting call was for a hearing-impaired lady, so Deanne Bray fit the part... wink.gif

- How does she feel about her character?

- Does she feel as if she would have something in common with her character in any way?

- Will her character change her opinion and overcome her "I need to be alone in my fileroom" attitude bei being more open towards others in the future ?

- Was christopher her brother or someone else (I know it might be spoilery but still happy.gif)?

- I love her character and love her acting so please tell her a big thank you for her great performance in the show from me! smile.gif

I'm looking forward to see much more of her and would love to see her character staying in the show.
Thank you!

What would you like to see happen with Emma's story arc?

What other names does she know for her ability? First we thought it was more passive, like visual replacement of hearing, but then we saw her destroying her apartment with sound?!

first off, this one's a possibility; depending/based on the tone of peoples' voices, maybe she could tell whether they're lying or not. usually when someone's lying, their voices ain't that relaxed; so the way she sees it could be like ambiguous vapors of color coming out of the liar's mouth, or just mere glows in the throat/larynx.

i like it b"b

so here's my query:
did she feel any tension or discomfort while filming and did she find it hard to coordinate with the cast? if indeed there were any experiences, could she please relate it?

btw, please say to her that her character possesses the most charisma amongst the cast, thus expect a big fanbase. thumbsup.gif

anyway, an urgent sidenote, i don't know if someone has already said this:
can the 9th wonders admin make an emma smiley, please? that'd be cool, not to mention colorful.
BlueBolt
So ya want a smiley with headphones? biggrin.gif
cLEmbeaR
that'd be crazy, haha, but i was thinking of a smiley playing a cello with all the colorful effects. ^.^

Riddler, you probably sent in your questions already but here is a previous interview with Deanne about Heroes in case you don't want to repeat any questions they asked:

Please post the link to your interview when you have it! And thanks for letting us know :-)
RiddlerHanjinome
I haven't sent off the questions, and I had seen that before, yeah. I've got something I need to do for this interview before I can send off the questions, and haven't been able to while I've been at work the last couple nights. Should be able to one of the next few days, though.

I didn't mean to be so abrupt before...

RiddlerHanjinome :: Will the interview be next week? *Crosses Fingers* I cannot wait! I'm so excited fo Deanne Bray to answer!
RiddlerHanjinome
I forgot to mention that I sent the questions to my NBC go-between a couple days ago, so its out of my hands now. When I get the answers sent back to me, I'll try and edit them into something resembling a site entry as soon as possible. smile.gif
