The show returns on 3 January December 30, 2021 - 19:11 GMT Rebecca Lewis 9-1-1 Lone Star actress Natacha Karam joins me on Zoom from her Hollywood home, a whirlwind of color and personality. The 26-year-old is wearing a bright green turtleneck, large silver hoops and numerous gold chains, her hair in gorgeous messy waves and a big smile on her face.
Born in London, Natacha grew up in the Middle East and Ireland before moving back to London to pursue a career in acting which led to small roles in Homeland and Silent Witness, before she was cast as Sergeant Jasmine "Jaz" Khan on the military action drama series The Brave which ran for one season. I was also in an awkward chapter of my life; bank account running low and I wasn't sure why I was in LA.
There is a lot of pressure and responsibility for playing this character - how do you handle that and deal with challenges or criticism sent your way? What is so important for me to make clear is I have such a deep respect for human beings as individuals, and authenticity is important no matter who the character is.
In all storytelling across the board specificity is where we see ourselves, so it is in the details we see ourselves accurately represented and it is important for people to see themselves. And I think that is what makes characters whole and human and dynamic, when you bother to fill in the details. That has been important to me, and we do Zooms meetings; there are blind spots for all of us.
The first few episodes are quite big for Marjan - she is relentless about getting the 126 back up and running, she will not let it go, and so I can't say what the consequences are, but there are positive and negative consequences. But I also know there are people who have trained their entire lives to do those stunts so you have to respect your coordinator to know your limit. They always give me a chance but something I have learned is that once I say yes, I have to do that 400 times! So now I know I don't have anything to prove.
How about a love interest at some point for Marjan? We haven't got there yet but I think it will happen. A lot of our meetings with the MPAC have been about doing that correctly; we want it to be realistic for her and for her world, and also exciting and titillating for the audience. It would be so interesting to see romance explored in a way not usually explored because there are so many different ways to fall in love.
