LANCE REDDICK
Best Known For The Wire, Lost
Favorite Role Captain Gasana, on Law & Order

”I got a call on a Monday afternoon, and I had to start shooting Wednesday morning. So I’m running around the Sierra Leone mission in New York trying to learn the right accent.” Vocal skills aside, it also challenged him dramatically: ”It was so different from anything I’d done before. I had this great trial scene where I had to talk about the diamond trade and why I’d committed murder. It’s funny how sometimes one scene can make something so special to you.” —Lindsay Soll

KIM DICKENS
Best Known For Hollow Man, Deadwood, Lost
Favorite Role Sherry, in Things Behind the Sun

”She was struggling with addictions, she was a rape survivor, she was a rock star. And we shot it in, like, three weeks on a very indie budget in Cocoa Beach, Fla. It was an all-around great experience. My close second would have to be Joanie Stubbs on Deadwood, because that was like walking around in a novel.” —Kate Ward
