She plays CSI Sara Sidle
Jorja Fox: "Marriage sends shivers down my spine!"
At 36, this New york native is the most reserved CSI of the band.
And the most unconventional.
Thanks to this hit series, Jorja Fox gained popularity, all the while keeping a part of mystery.
TS: According to recent rumors, you had left the show. True or false?
JF: Both! I was indeed fired. But they called me back after a week.
I have to admit it was a pretty strange experience!
TS: What happened exactly?
JF: I had asked for a renegociation of my contract and a raise ($100,000 per episode)
They refused and showed me the door.
TS: Then how do you explain your comeback?
JF: I owe my comeback to the other actors on the show and most of all to the public, who reacted very strongly to my firing.
TS: Was becoming an actress something that you had always wanted?
JF: No, it wasn't. At 5 I used to set up litlle performances for the family, but that's it.
When I was a kid, I was really passionate about the sea. Then, despite my unusual physique, I became a model.
But I quickly understood, notably after a few trips to Europe, that my career wasn't going to last.
TS: Back to CSI and to your character of Sara Sidle. Do you, like Sara, have a scientific mind?
JF: Ohhhh, no! Dissecting bodies is not really my cup of tea. I'm more of an artist.
TS: What is going to happen to your character in the next few episodes?
JF: All I can say is that the writers constantly promise me that they're going to brighten Sara's future.
Result: they always find a dark story to tell about her!
TS: What about her love story with Grissom (William Petersen)?
JF: Her love story with Grissom is a never ending story! But I think that this year, we'll get to see them together...
TS: Speaking of which, you were quoted to be allergic to marriage...
JF:I get palpitations just thinking about it. As if I was losing my breath.
It sends shivers down my spine. But I still believe in true love.
