How can I solve this problem? How can I get this information? In some of those cases, with some of the men, the quickest way is that way. I think Jett looks at things in a very practical way. Asked if Jett’s success in this arena is the result of her male adversaries being at the mercy of their libidos, Gugino laughs, conceding, “What I think is interesting is that the women are definitely more practical and the men are more romantic, which is unusual, because normally the tables are turned. Before long, she’s caught between multiple warring forces, and juggling allegiances in order to protect her neck.įortunately for Jett, she has a bevy of skills at her disposal-including sex, which she employs with a matter-of-factness that’s usually reserved for the likes of James Bond. As is often the case, that final assignment goes sideways, thus jeopardizing the stable life Jett has crafted for herself and her young daughter Alice (Violet McGraw), as well as the terminally ill friend Maria (Elena Anaya) who resides with them. That’s really fun to play.”Ĭreated by Gugino’s long-time partner and collaborator, Sebastian Gutierrez ( Elektra Luxx), who energizes his material with bold colors, plentiful flashbacks, and witty and profane pulp dialogue, Jett picks up with its protagonist after she’s walked out of prison and right back into one last job for Charlie Baudelaire ( Giancarlo Esposito), a kingpin desperate for Jett-with whom he’s carrying on a passionate, if somewhat one-sided, affair-to retrieve a diamond ring from Eastern European gangster Miljan Bestic (Greg Bryk). “We were really interested in this being that she’s just really good at what she does. Not so in Jett, which positions its lead as your typical accomplished crook-the difference being that she’s a take-no-shit woman, and uses every tool at her disposal to get the job done. Or does she have some social condition? We need to give her an excuse to behave in what we consider an atypical manner.” But with a woman, you’re like, was she abused as a child? We need to fill this in. There’s still this thing where a man can behave in an unusual way, or a way that might not fit societal norms, and you just go, well, that’s just how it is. “But the female anti-hero is still a bit of a double standard. “There are great women’s roles in TV, specifically right now,” admits Gugino before Jett’s June 14 premiere.
#CARLA GUGINO SEXY PROFESSIONAL#
Yet in her illustrious career she’s never seen, much less embodied, anyone quite like Daisy “Jett” Kowalski, the professional thief at the center of her new Cinemax crime series Jett.
Whether as a sultry parole officer in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City, a golden-age superhero in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, or as a globetrotting espionage agent in the Spy Kids trilogy, Carla Gugino has proven herself an expert at playing tough, sexy badasses.
