Not many people think of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta as a hotbed for Hollywood talent, but that didn’t stop Evangeline Lilly from rising to the top – and taking an unconventional path along the way. Evangeline grew up all over the world traveling with her Christian missionary family, before settling down in Vancouver to study International Relations at UBC. A chance encounter led to a modeling career, which in turn created a few acting opportunities and in 2004 Evangeline landed the gig of a lifetime, starring as ‘Kate’ on J.J. Abrams epic TV series, “Lost”. Since then there’s been no looking back. Kate has been nominated for a Golden Globe and is now starring opposite John Malkovich in the new film “Afterwards”.

You can’t really blame her, given that the movie she’s out promoting, Battle in Seattle, is a pretty thrilling drama as well as a wholesale attack on the main group that governs our world economy, the World Trade Organization. In Battle in Seattle, which dramatizes the four days of protests that surrounded the WTO conference in 1999, Rodriguez plays Lou, a veteran protester who fits right in with the actresses past “tough girl” roles.
Unafraid to talk about pretty much anything, Rodriguez talked about the violence she saw growing up in Jersey City, her many lives “like a cat,” and her own real-life protest experience. Oh, and she’s got plans for writing a children’s movie that she describes as Jurassic Park meets Goonies. Yeah, and you thought she was just the badass from Lost.
