Followers Following Vital Stats. Member Since Followers Following Eliza Dushku is one of the most difficult interviews in Hollywood. She is completely open, forthcoming and friendly but something about her wide brown eyes and seemingly glowing cheeks mesmerizes in a way that sometimes makes follow-up questions difficult. Even when she's fighting a cold, her energy is intense.
Luckily, there's a tape recorder to catch anything a smitten interviewer might miss. Each week, as an active operative of the Dollhouse, she is implanted with a new personality tailor-made for what is required by the mission. The assignments are varied, with tasks ranging from undercover investigation to between-the-sheets fantasy. Once the tasks are fulfilled, the Dolls' minds are wiped clean ready for the next upload of software and another adventure. Question: Early episodes of Dollhouse have you infiltrating a cult, doing some Thai boxing and extreme sports.
What else have you gotten to do? Eliza Dushku: TomorrowI'm a dominatrix. That's a new one. Maybe it's not new to some people but it's new for me, believe it or not. I got to horseback ride, riding this big black stallion through the night and they didn't want to test the horse on the stunt double because they wanted the horse to get used to one rider, so they just gave me this black stallion at midnight out in Thousand Oaks. And they were like, "Okay, so the camera's on a truck.
Run the horse to the fence and then turn it and then just keep running along the fence as fast as you can. Just jumped on this horse and took off. It was awesome. Q: Isn't that the old actor lie. ED: I can do it and it was British saddle and everything. I could post. I posted that horse down. It was good. Q: What's the mission that requires a dominatrix?
ED: Wow, I don't know if I'm supposed to but everything's relevant in the show and Joss puts everything in for a very specific purpose. As a dominatrix, I'm actually explaining to my handler who's driving me home from the mission that everyone thinks it's about this, but it's really about this and I'm sort of explaining things aren't so black and white.
