Jo Garfein from TVOvermind had an opportunity to speak with Jasika Nicole from Fringe and get the scoop on Jasika’s character Astrid Farnsworth just in time for the premiere of season 2, which kicks off its new season tonight (Thursday, September 17) on a new night following Bones.
On the eve of Fringe’s second season, I caught up with the delightful, talented, and very personable Jasika Nicole, who plays FBI agent Astrid Farnsworth. Warning: there are potentially minor spoilers contained in this interview.
Jo: Hello my friend! You are very kind to take time out of your busy filming schedule to answer a few questions for the fans. Since we spoke earlier this year, Fringe has become a huge hit and fan favorite series. How does it feel to be part of such a pop culture phenomenon?
Jasika: It is not something that I have a chance to really think about very often, the success of the show. Only when I get to go to events like Comic-Con and publicity functions, where I can personally see and hear a response from the fans. Then it’s like, “Oh wow, THIS is what we are doing, it is very big, and THIS is who we are doing it for and there sure are a lot of them.” At times it all just seems really surreal, you know? I thought being a part of my show choir in high school was pretty phenomenal, but Fringe is at a whole new level.
