I met and worked with Regina King, who was my icon growing up, someone I adored. So many beautiful things came out that experience. What did you take away from that experience? I’m really critical of myself, but I feel like you can see a difference in my body being more relaxed. I don’t want to diss myself, but it probably shows in my work. Is having that level of representation a new experience for you? And just as a queer woman of colour, it makes me feel more comfortable, so then I do better work. To see all kinds of people represented on the scenes was really refreshing. Because behind the scenes as well, there are lots of women in roles I’ve seen go to men, like camera operator. So on my show, the public defenders, it’s very goofy and fun, which speaks to the representation. We actually say it’s like two different shows, because the public defenders are always together and the prosecutors are always together. I can not WAIT for you to see it! premieres Tuesday March 13th at 10:00 PM on You won’t want to miss it!! Not tagged: Hope Davis, Ben Shenkman, Susannah Flood Shout out to for the picture!!Ī post shared by Jasmin Savoy Brown on at 12:32pm PST There are 221 people not pictured in this photo that worked just as hard, probably harder than us, to bring our show to life, and that’s just people who will receive weekly credits! That doesn’t include guest actors, background actors, our partners and friends who ran lines with us, acting coaches and researchers who taught us more about our characters, assistants who grabbed lunches and walked our dogs while we worked, real lawyers we Skyped with or shadowed to gain insight into the field, teams who facilitated audition schedules and deals, publicists who made shit happen… hundreds and hundreds of people brought this show to life. I’m proud of each of them and CAN NOT WAIT for you to see their marvelous, brilliant work. I genuinely love all 9 of the people in this photo with me. I’ve never felt this way after wrapping a show. If someone doesn’t understand that and support that, bye. I don’t want to say that I’ll always put my work first because there are seasons of life, but it’s very important to me. I think all of that is true to the Shondaland universe.įrom the first episode, Allison is very clear about prioritizing her career over her relationship. She’s defined by her character, and her work ethic and her sense of self. And I love that although has a boyfriend when we meet her, she’s not defined by that relationship. It’s real to my experience with my girlfriends. And one thing I love about our show, and the Shondaland universe, is that the female friendships aren’t backstabbing and falling into some stupid idea of what a female friendship is. She is a very committed person and that extends, obviously, into her work life, but also her personal life. If it happens, it happens.Īnd how does your character Allison fit into that Shondaland universe? Not so much the sex, but everything else, yes. I just think of pushing boundaries, and representation, and drama and sex.Īre those qualities important to you in your work? I love that when I think of Shondaland, the first two people I think of are Kerry Washington and Viola Davis. What did you think about Shondaland shows before joining that world? We caught up with Brown to talk about her new show, on-set representation and joining Shondaland.īefore landing this role, you were also in one episode of Grey’s Anatomy. On For the People, Brown stars as Allison Adams, a fresh-out-of-law-school public defender working in the Southern District of New York’s federal court (nicknamed the “Mother Court”). (Ed’s note: if you haven’t watched this series, start now.) With this latest show, Brown scores a coveted part in the Shondaland universe, adding to the up-and-comer’s growing resume-which includes her time as not-as-innocent-as-she-seems teen Evie Murphy on HBO’s critically-beloved The Leftovers. Mama Bear just walked into the room, mad respect,’ but also this sense of family.”

She’s really professional and funny,” the actress says of the superstar TV producer. (In fact, she’s already wondering when she can come back–hopefully to work on a project here.) The actress is in town to talk about her role on new legal drama For the People, executive produced by the one and only Shonda Rhimes. Jasmin Savoy Brown has only been in Toronto for a handful of hours, but she can already tell she likes the city’s vibe.
