[After recently starring in Liam Neeson’s shoot ’em thrill ride “Run All Night,” actress Genesis Rodriguez tells SOHH about her movie role and being down to blast Hollywood away.]
For me, [guns blazing] would have been ideal because I love running around holding a gun.
This time it was hard because I was the victim with two kids and a belly. It was so weird. I wanted to kick some a**. I was probably talking more vulgarities with my belly than any of the actors.
It’s different and it’s fun. I’ve never played a mom before but I wish my first mom experience would have been a more gentle mom and calm story.
But it was not. It was stress nation. I was thinking every single time in a scene of ten thousand things [like] whether the girls didn’t look at the camera, whether the girls got their coats but didn’t get the bag, I have to say my line, I can’t trip, or I need to pick up the pace because the camera’s coming around.
I was doing the whole movie and they weren’t even rolling yet.
They were like, “Gen, we’re not ready for you yet so you can just relax.” It was stress.
