Viola Davis Covers ‘Entertainment Weekly’, Calls Annalise Keating Sexualized & Messy: All those of things I never get to play.
own stuff going on … as if it’s that easy. I’ve had a production company for years. We have great projects coming up, but it’s been a battle, okay? At the same time, you have to stay relevant because you have to be bankable to the foreign market.
So when How to Get Away with Murder came along, I had my a-ha moment. I knew it would have a great time slot, and I would be a lead in a TV show. I’d get to play a role that’s sexualized, messy, all those of things I never get to play. And at the same time, I can be relevant.
In her EW cover, she also chats about playing a highly sexualized role like Annalise and those eye-popping love scenes:
It was nerve-wracking, but I went for it. Anyone should be nervous doing very personal and private scenes. If you are not nervous, then something is wrong with you.
