Bionic Interview: Michelle Ryan on the Today Show

Bionic Woman - Michelle Ryan TodayShow Interview

Michelle Ryan stopped by the Today show Monday to promote Bionic Woman.  This is my first live interview with Ryan and she really pulled it off for me.  Meaning she didn’t come across as stupid, vapid or anything other than charming. 

One point of interest is her accent.  As is the case with House actor Hugh Laurie, Ryan’s British accent is very pronounced.  However, I have never picked up even a hint of her UK roots while watching BW.  Comparing her Jaime Sommers’ voice to her everyday voice, it doesn’t sound like the same woman.  She says accents for her come very easily and it isn’t that much of a challenge for her. 

Not too much is revealed about the actress.  She is 23, does not wish to be bionic and hasn’t gotten caught up in the United States hype of the new show because it is filmed in Vancouver.  She barely remembers the original BW and has only seen a couple of episodes.  She is a big fan of Alias and reveals an embarrassing incident meeting Jennifer Garner in an elevator and being so nervous that she got off on the wrong floor. Pretty much the same story she discussed in her TV Guide interview.

The interview does include a clip of an upcoming episode with Ryan fighting bad guys while Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Corvus watches idly.  Fun stuff.

I am glad to see Ryan finally making media appearances as she had been MIA for the first couple of weeks leading up to the show.

Check it out and let me know what you think about her accent.

About Bionic Woman

Welcome to the best site on the web for news about Bionic Woman! Bionic Woman is a re-imagined, updated television drama inspired by the original 1970s show starring Lindsey Wagner. Helmed by the same creative team responsible for reviving Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel, the new Bionic Woman is darker than the 1970s original series but not quite as dark as BSG. The new show stars Michelle Ryan as the title character, Jaime Sommers, and Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis/frenemy Sarah Corvus. Each episode provides Jaime with an opportunity to further adapt to her bionic implants, and plots usually focus on her struggles to raise her teenage sister Becca while fighting techno terrorism and other types of crime. Bionic Woman airs on channels around the world, and in the United States it appears on Wednesday nights at 9:00/8:00 Central on NBC.
