Michelle Rodriguez appeared very passionate about her support for "S.W.A.T." co-star Colin Farrell while at the Premiere of the CIA thriller, "The Recruit." Prior to seeing "The Recruit," Rodriguez spoke about working with Colin Farrell and her own desire to be a CIA agent:

MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ ('Chris Sanchez' in "S.W.A.T.")

What's your role in S.W.A.T.?
I basically play one of the crew - the only female S.W.A.T. member in the United States of America.

Did you do a lot of training to prepare for the role?
I basically trained with a couple of S.W.A.T. members for a hot minute.

And your character works with Colin Farrell's character?
Yes.

What was it like working with Colin?
He's cool, man. It's all about being cool. I'm here tonight [at "The Recruit" Premiere] supporting Colin. I am looking forward to seeing my buddy Colin represent in front of Pacino. That's sweet.

Any funny stories about working with Colin Farrell?
I'll keep that all to myself (laughing).

Are you ever going to play anything other than a tough girl? I asked you this at the “Blue Crush” premiere and you said yes.
(Laughing) Maybe in my sexually frustrated 30s.

In keeping with "The Recruit's" CIA theme, have you ever wanted to be a part of the CIA?
At one time in my life. When I was about, I'd say, 18 or 19 years-old, I wanted to be a part of the CIA just because they know those intimate secrets about 'you're being watched' kind of deal. So I was just always into knowing. I like to know things.
