Mark Polish: It was the email you sent directly after our meeting. It was really pretty. It was perfect, it was about the experience. It was like “I want to do this, I want to dance around like Gypsies, ride a bike...” You wanted it bad, you wanted to do this. And I knew that that’s what it was going to take. There were moments that were going to be so up in the air, like jumping off a cliff, that if you were willing to do it with no reservations then that was it. Besides how stunning you were.
Stana Katic: [yuppers, people, i’m keeping that comment in! ;>]
Mark Polish: Then when we got the letter that you couldn’t go, you couldn’t do it... [the Castle schedule conflicted]
Stana Katic: ...I was devastated.
Mark Polish: You didn’t act like it. You hide it well. I sat there for a while and we were entertaining you, but we were stuck on the dates. And then I talked to Mike [Polish, director] and Sean [producer] and I said “Look this girl, I just have this thing. She’s going to do what it takes. It’s going to take so much energy and so much willingness and she’s got it.” And they agreed. I have the email that I wrote that said I think we should push the schedule for Stana.
