Jaime Murray Defiance audio interview
In this segment, host Jim Benson and Jaime Murray (who stars as Stahma Tarr on Defiance), talk about the unique premise of the show, the various alien races that make up the intricate storylines of the series, and the role that Stahma Tarr plays in the political and social conflicts that exist in the future city of Defiance (which was in the past, St. Louis).
Ms. Murray also talks about playing such a strong and significant character, the makeup regimen she has to undergo to transform her into an alien being, and having to learn and master an alien language, created by linguist David Peterson, who created the language used in Game of Thrones. Jaime Murray also talks about how she was named after Jaime Sommers, The Bionic Woman, her appreciation for the science fiction genre and interacting with its fans, and how Defiance is uniquely tied-in to its companion video game.
