My question is for both of you and would like to know how you each began your involvement with Bitten. The fact that most of the actors on the show are physically able to do the fight scene sequences. It wasn’t a part of the audition, but, you know, I think it definitely benefits the character. And we had great stunt coordinators that help us so as incorporate the animalistic side to the fighting. And especially in the finale - we have this epic fight that I just had a great time doing. Obviously, not the werewolf part, but the fact that she can take care of herself physically.Īnd I think it was great that the writers wrote in some extra hand-to-hand combat scenes. So Elena feels like, you know, the other part of me.

Are you glad to be able to exercise that skill in this role? And was it part of your audition process in any way? Nothing came of it, but maybe at some point in the future.įor Laura, I know you have a background in martial arts. I wondered if could confirm that and perhaps tell us how many and which episodes coming up that you wrote - if any. Kelley, I wondered – I noticed that the show runner, Daegon Frynklind - she wrote the pilot. In anticipation of the shows US debut tonight we sat down with the pair to discuss the show, its origins and state of genre television… Syfy’s new “werewolf” series Bitten stars Laura Vandervoort and is based on the bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series of novels.
