Nothing well-rounded. And this comes along and I was thinking, ‘Wait a minute this is a man’s role.

I listened to a lot of rap back then, I still listen to rap, but I really pounded it in my car on the way to my audition, and that was my prep for it and I walked in and I was fully Kira when I walked in the room.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iyee76eav46mcevpzwxtgpnc/bafkreibh4wsrpcfbdbkpos5iezwz43xzscyxwdcd3kk7pqrpcqqc5ouimi)
