Sci Fi Wire 1/25/02: Lauren Lee Smith
Smith Previews Mutant X
Mutant X star Lauren Lee Smith told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming episode "Double Vision" centers on her telepathic character, Emma DeLauro. "'Double Vision' is Emma's biggest episode so far," Smith said in an interview. "She gets to go over to the dark side and play with Eckhart [Tom McCamus] for a while. There are a few little twists and turns in there, and it was a lot of fun."
Smith added that the events of "Double Vision" reflect the character's continued growth and development. "Emma's a lot more confident," said the 21-year-old actress, whose previous credits include a guest spot in the Dark Angel pilot. "She's in there with the team. She's out on missions with them. She's not just using her telepathy anymore. She's starting to get a little bit more physical and getting more comfortable with that physicality. So you're seeing Emma develop her mutant powers, but you're also seeing her develop as a person and get in on the action. As an actress, that's great. That's what you want. You want a character to be fully rounded, and I think that's the direction we're headed in." Mutant X airs in first-run syndication; "Double Vision" debuts the week of Jan. 28.
