Exploring Kalinda’s character

Archie was so nervous playing Kalinda because she was thinking: how are women going to respect this character in terms of being so sexual, and so intelligent?

That’s a combination you might have been seeing more of her on television in the US. But being considered sexual is often not considered smart, so that worried her.

Kalinda has a very dark past and, once she understood why Kalinda was like that, she could make it a bit more truthful as opposed to just playing sexual for the sake of it.

Best and worst moments on ‘The Good Wife’

Archie’s best moment was definitely in season two smashing a car with a baseball bat. I actually had a nail with a baseball bat so it smashes the glass.

Describing her experience she said,

“We were in an underground car park, and it wasn’t breaking, so all the men were like, “You should hit it like this!” I know I’m small, but I am quite strong! And it wasn’t my fault – it was something to do with the air pressure in an underground car park – so even when the men tried it, it didn’t smash. It finally did on like the 150th time, so that was fun. The worst is just the 16- to 18-hour days.”
