official Shohreh Aghdashloo/DR KAVITA RAO thread

[phoenix_force]

What doy you think of Dr kavita rao so far? obviosuly she has an OK role in the film more than angel and rogue even!

 

[neemer5]

is kavita a character from the comics or did they invent her f or the movie?what does she do in the movie exactly ?develop the cure?what do you think of Shohreh Aghdashloo?

She's in the comics, an Indian doctor I believe. Given the confusion when she was casted (she said she was going to be Cecilia Reyes), she may have a "made up" power along the lines of Cecilia Reyes. In the comic books, Rao is human.

Nah, I think that was just Shohreh being misinformed. I think she will be human because she works with Worthington sr. and isn't he the one supplying the cure?

 

[Kira]

I´m pretty sure she is human.

 

[Kazaire]

I'm pretty sure Shohreh is playing a human character. And me thinks that she will have some dealings with Beast and his mutation.

 

[lordofthenerds]

She is playing a human character that helps make the cure.

Can't believe she didn't already have a thread(yes I searched).

Speaking of Shohreh, does her character have a very large involvement in the film?

*She has some key scenes, and she is wonderful in the film. One of the incredible things about working on an X-Men movie is you get Academy-Award-level actors playing both lead and supporting roles. The overall caliber of this cast is pretty impressive. I mean, between Ian, Patrick, Hugh, Halle, Kelsey, and Shohreh alone, we have a handful of Oscar nominations (and one win), Tony Awards, Emmy Awards, and plenty of British stage awards. It can actually get a little intimidating to write for these actors.

1.) Speaking of Shohreh, how is she in person? I was a big fan of hers when she was on 24. Amazing actress.

*She’s an incredible actress. And a consummate professional. I think she has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard.

Beautiful woman, tremendous actress, gonna own all her scenes in this film.

Yeppers.

Shohreh, I've only seen her act in her brief moments in Excorism of Emily Rose and I was even blown away there. She brought so much to such a minimal role.

And whoa....she really looks alot like her comic counterpart.

You should have seen her role on 24. Hoo boy.

 

[TNC9852002]

I only remember her from House of Sand and Fog..

The one that got her the Oscar nod. And many people felt she should have won that year.

You saw her in Exorcism of Emily Rose, eh, Bill? I saw that movie two days ago and saw Shohreh as that spiritual person. I thought I'd see her before from somewhere else. Wow, she looked different there. That means she's a great actress. I can't wait to see her in this one.

God, I need to start watching 24. Will it be worth it if I buy the whole season 1 on DVD boxset?

Yeah, I'm sure it will. She doesn't pop up until season 4 though if you were wondering.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Boy, does Shohreh look evil or what as Rao?

She creeped me out in the trailer.

 

[Specter313]

Wait till she gets her voice going, then she'll really own it.

I keep hearing her happy voice from Exorcism of Emily Rose.

 

[HexualCirce]

I love her in the trailer. She's in it for two seconds but that one look on her face is just amazing to me. I know that this woman is going to be incredible in this film.

 

[MoPlaYa]

She was a perfect casting choice IMO....

 

[_BB_]

i cant believe how uncanny her resemblance is to Rao...

 

[LEX]

Yeah, I'll agree to that. That look of hers in the trailer struck a fear in me as soon as I saw her. She was so freakishly creepy, that Shohreh.

Shohreh in 24:

Shohreh in House of Sand and Fog:

 

[WorthyStevens]

Here's a few quotes from her stint on '24' I found on IMDb.

Shohreh played Dina Araz.

[Dina has just learned that Behrooz has been taken hostage by Navi]
Dina Araz: If you cannot save my son, then I am happy to see the reactors melt down.
Jack Bauer: [to Erin Driscoll, while on phone] Did you get that?


Dina Araz: [Dina is moving Debbie's dead body while Behrooz watches in shock]
Dina Araz: For God's sake, pull yourself together!
Behrooz Araz: She didn't know anything. You didn't have to kill her.
Dina Araz: Yes, I did. Because you didn't have the courage to kill her yourself.
Behrooz Araz: Courage? To poison a girl who did no harm to you at all?
Dina Araz: [Dina and Behrooz stop, as they hear a car door close. Dina checks the blinds] Your father's home!
Behrooz Araz: [Behrooz watches as Dina grabs a pillow and the gun] What are you doing? She's already dead.
Dina Araz: If your father doesn't see a bullet wound, he'll ask questions. Do you want him to know that you tried to help your girlfriend escape? Do you want him to know that you failed him again? Move away!
[Dina fires the gun into the pillow, and leaves a bullet in Debbie, and offers Behrooz the gun]
Dina Araz: Take it. Take it. Behrooz, take it. Take it! This has to stop, Behrooz. You are my son and I love you, but I cannot let you destroy everything. Everything we worked so hard to achieve.




Evil much?
