When FBI: Worldwide headed into its midseason break, it did so with the destiny of one of many Fly Staff very a lot up within the air: Vo (Vinessa Vidotto) was shot within the pursuit of Csonka (Beau Knapp), the person accountable for Wes’ (Jesse Lee Soffer) accomplice’s dying.
“It was surprising, however I suppose it was Vo’s flip as a result of the previous 4 years everyone has form of been shot. Smitty [Eva-Jane Willis] received shot, Heida [Reed, who played Kellett] was shot. So yeah, I used to be like, I suppose it’s my flip,” Vidotto tells TV Insider with fun. “It was surprising, however the script was so scrumptious and previous to me getting shot, I used to be capable of do actually scrumptious scenes that I used to be capable of take my time with. So yeah, I liked [Episode] 8 quite a bit.”
Vidotto raves about an earlier scene in that episode (written by Edgar Castillo) by which Vo faces off with Csonka throughout a gathering whereas he’s nonetheless behind bars; he escaped throughout a prisoner transport after a deal was made resulting from proof that had been uncovered throughout the trial.
“These had been scenes that I used to be excited to get up and go to work and do. There’s a sure restrict the place you don’t wish to maintain doing the take over and over. It’s simply killing the actor. However I didn’t thoughts,” shares Vidotto. “I used to be like, I may maintain enjoying round with this. It simply feels good and we had been capable of sluggish it down and the strains are so scrumptious. The story is scrumptious and I actually received to indicate off Vo’s talent as an interrogator. That’s one in all her breakdown factors, that she’s good at interrogations, and I missed that. I feel Season 2, there was one, [“Call It Anarchy”], written by Rachael Joyce, directed by Milena [Govich], and I had the lie detector package and it was so enjoyable to whip that out. When issues are written nicely and the actor will get excited by it, that’s when it’s an excellent story and it’s an excellent scene and it’s not work. It’s only a pleasure to carry out.”
Filming that capturing within the midseason finale was a primary for Vidotto, who particulars the “approach, like a dance, a choreography,” to moments like that. “Your physique has to maneuver in the precise approach,” she explains, praising the stunt staff. “I’ve executed coaching in faculty, hand-to-hand fight, so there’s all that response and stuff, however by no means being shot. So I needed to study on the day. [The stunt coordinators] actually helped me pop the shoulder and we did a number of takes and I needed to study that for TV, sluggish is quick, which implies you may’t do it in actual time or else the digicam can’t catch your response of you being shot and taking that in. How do you embody that, however permit the digicam to carry onto your face for a number of seconds earlier than you fall to the bottom?”
The star explains she watched film clips of individuals getting shot in addition to a documentary of what it’s wish to get shot. “There’s so many alternative reactions,” she says. “It may be instantly excruciating the place it’s actually sizzling and painful or folks don’t know that they’ve been shot or stabbed simply due to the adrenaline, simply how their physique is. I simply took my very own interpretation from studying these issues. It was enjoyable. I received to verify that off my bucket record.”
Followers must wait till the midseason premiere on January 28 to study Vo’s destiny; Vidotto gained’t even trace at what’s to return together with her character. However the remainder of the Fly Staff can be busy looking for Csonka.
“Csonka finally ends up fleeing to Paris and everyone’s making an attempt to go after him,” teases Vidotto. “That’s going to be an epic episode. I imply, a manhunt in Paris? That’s fairly superior. And it’s nearly like a three-parter: It was from Episode 1 to Episode 8 to Episode 9. You get to comply with a very huge story, and I like that.”
