One of the most believable cops on television


In a world of skinny bimbos and young starlets who play cops in hollywood shows and movies she has got to be one of the most believable as a cop or agent. With the exception of maybe Cote (Ziva) from NCIS.

Yes, I agree. I'm writing a sci-fi TV series that takes place in the future, and it's protagonist is a female special agent. Well, kind of a special Agent.

AND I WANT DANIELA to play that character. I hear she likes fight scenes and stunts... There will plenty of fight scenes in my show. I have family with strong females and it's gets really tiring of seeing them always playing the victim and not having any self worth, etc. That's not realistic.

It's nice to see shows where the females not only stand up for themselves, they show they're in charge, and hold positions of power, but don't abuse the power. True Grit new adaptation and Maddi was a good example. The new movie Sucker Punch looks like a strong female character movie. So writer's are wising up and realizing that these shows with strong female leads, that are intelligent and attractive can rake in ratings - as long as the storyline is good/decent.

Now I need to go write at least few episodes of my show now. For some reason, I'm getting Daniela Ruah, David Hewlett, Chloe Moretz, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt rounding out majority of the main cast. A few of them seem a tad busy. Maybe their schedule will open up in a year or two when I get my show on TV, lol.

Don't worry Daniela won't be leaving NCIS: LA. Believe me, though my show, will a crime show, will be a bit different than most other crimes shows on.


Okay, off to bed for a little bit, then to the library to work on writing the show. :)

Well David Hewlett doesn't seem overly busy. Since the cancellation of Stargate Atlantis. I've heard he has been directing. But he doesn't seem busy. I wouldn't worry too much about her leaving NCIS LA she is probably under contract with CBS for 7 years. That is the average contract length for tv shows. Thats not to say, it's not up for negotiation.

The idea sounds interesting like a futuristic crime show. Good luck getting it produced, I like the casting choices for sure.
