What is your role in Night at the Museum?
"It’s really funny, one of the funniest projects I’ve ever worked on. Ben Stiller is really a delight.o I play the ex-wife of Ben Stiller and Paul Rudd plays my fiancé. Literally [I was] doing a scene with them while simultaneously I was shooting 24 and [The Nine], so it was like this heavy, emotional and then to go to New York and just... Basically we couldn’t stop laughing."
Do you also get to be funny?
"Yes. I mean, Ben is the funny and Paul Rudd is the funny, I’m more of the straight woman - but there’s definitely a wacky side to me."
Was that a nice break in between doing 24 and The Nine?
"It was so great for me to go back to New York where I’m from and have that great release. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life with Ben Stiller and Paul Rudd. It was great and in a way, sometimes the more I work, the more it just - it’s like being in great shape. It’s easier to run a marathon when you’ve trained and you’re in shape, as opposed to just kind of getting up and deciding that you’re going to run."
Will you make it into the 24 movie?
"They’re doing the film this summer. The perfect scenario is keep Audrey alive throughout this season. I’m committed to The Nine and happily, and on hiatus join 24 and do the film with them."
Do you think a 24 movie is a good idea without the real time aspect?
"I think the Jack Bauer concept and the 24 concept and Kiefer Sutherland along with the writers, it’s just an unusual and remarkably well-written, well-acted show that I think as a film, it’s just getting more of a great thing. I think it’s a great thing and I think it being a little different is important. And I think it’s a very smart move because it’s a different medium, so they’ve got to adjust it a little bit. I really see, especially after season five, it’s really reached out to an even larger audience this last season. So a movie would just expand that even more. I think, of course I’m biased, but I think it’s a great experience for people."
