Zuleikha Robinson

Zuleikha:(About Viggo Mortensen) I'd just seen Lord of the Rings and I was sitting next to my friend and I was like 'who's that guy? He's so cute!' and I had a little crush on him so when I heard that he was going to be working on this film I was like 'oh my!' and he was going to read with us in the screen test. It was all girls, so that was probably the most nerve wracking thing about it.

Zuleikha:(On what she would say to a young girl who wants to get into acting) You've gotta really love this. It's really difficult and you have to be really strong. I gave up a million times because I couldn't handle it. The pressure and the rejection, you have to be strong because you can't take it personally. It's a painful business before you start working and even when you work. I decided to give it up but an actor on Timecode, (Steven Webber) was like 'I don't know why you would give it up. I enjoy watching you' and he was the one who made me think to try a little more and it paid off.

Zuleikha:(On staying in touch with her "The Lone Gunmen" co-stars) It had been a really long time but I was on the way back from shooting my last film and was in England for a week and I happened to e-mail Dean Haglund's wife and she said that Dean was over in the UK for a sci-fi convention. I gave him a ring and he was doing this X-Files stand up show and he told me to come down and see it. I get there and all these people are looking at me funny and they come up to me and say "were you in the show?" and that they were there to see Dean and now it's even better and I had to take all these pictures with them. It was a surreal experience.
