26 februari gaat het vierde seizoen van iZombie in Amerika van start en ter promotie hier van had de website Collider een interview met Rose McIver over haal rol als Liv. Hier bij kwam een hoop dingen ter sprake en twee vragen daar van kan je alvast hier onder lezen.


QUESTION: We know that you are rapping this season. Can you talk about how you prepared and when you got that script, what your reaction was to it?

MCIVER
: Yes, gosh. I still do enjoy really good rap music, but I had a phase as a teenager when I got really into it and thought I could rap myself. I was definitely not a good rapper. I definitely had listened to a lot and have a fairly good understanding of it and reference points. I worked a little bit with friends I knew. Again, on this show, we don't really get a lot of time to prep, so there wasn't a way to do a rapping boot camp or anything. Good conversations with people who knew a lot more than I did about the field. Then, working with Bisanne [Masoud] and Talia [Gonazalez], who wrote the episode, and kind of tweaking and adjusting and making sure I felt comfortable with the flow of the lyrics. It's cool. We want to have a little bit of a twinkle in our eye about it the whole time. I don't want Liv to be a bad rapper, but I also want it to be clear that it's not something she would naturally have had a grasp of.

What has been the most difficult brain they have given you to do in the 50-plus episodes you've done so far?

MCIVER
: I don't even remember half of them, honestly. The most unappealing one was the bigoted, racist brain ... the Archie Bunker-style brain. I just didn't love coming to work and playing that everyday, albeit a clever way of serving a certain storyline. It wasn't as much of a joy as, for example, coming to work and playing an erotic literature writer. That was fun. That was challenging in that respect. Hockey-goon brain was challenging in a physical respect because I had one official day to spend on the ice in hockey skates for the first time. I hadn't picked up my figure skates since I was 14, but hockey skates ever, so it was completely different. And, that was a very challenging thing to try and seem proficient and knowledgeable about the mannerisms and the little bits and pieces. That was a new world for me. That was challenging, but I had great support around me. We had an amazing stunt team that was also involved.
