Actress BeckiNewton spoke with Digital Trends on her role in TheLincolnLawyer, and why she loves bold characters.
Becki Newton is ready for a new challenge. Best known for her comedic work in Ugly Betty and How I Met Your Mother, Newton will switch genres for her first dramatic role in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Based on Michael Connelly’s series of novels, The Lincoln Lawyer stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, a magnetic defense attorney who is thrust back into the spotlight after the death of his former legal partner.
I don’t know. I think I’m drawn to bold characters in general. I have been lucky enough to find a lot of those in comedy. So this was a different tone for me. But, I felt that the character was strong, interesting, and unafraid. I hadn’t seen a lot of characters like that in dramatic worlds, so I just jumped at the opportunity to do it.As long as I can wear very bright, colorful pantsuits, I will definitely do an action thriller.
I did with both of them. I love it. It’s so funny. I’ve always looked at this type of material just as a reader, but I never imagined being in that world as an actress. So I think that was part of the allure. It was something I never really expected to do. I thought it would be such an interesting challenge to see where I might fit into a world like this.
Being a little bit of a fish out of the water, I felt really comfortable diving into this world because you could sense on the set that all of the directors were familiar with the legal drama world. I had no idea. I can’t even really say if I’d ever been in a courtroom before, other than the one that was built on the set. So I definitely trusted that the team behind this knew exactly what they were doing, and I was able to bring my new take on the character of Lorna.
Yeah, I do. I love TV. I love the schedule. I love the routine of it. I’ve been lucky. That’s where I’ve been able to work and work pretty consistently over all these years. I just love it. I absolutely love everything about being on set.
