Here is what the talented young actress had to say:

IAR: I recently had a chance to speak with Topher Grace and Stephen Moyer, and they were telling me how much, as men, they've always wanted to be in a spy thriller. As a female actor, was this a genre that excited you? Was it something you'd always wanted to be a part of or was it just like doing any other genre of film?

Odette Yustman Annable: Absolutely, I mean I've been fortunate enough thus far in my career to not be stereotyped and to be able to play in a few different worlds, and this movie in particular really attracted me because you know it is a spy thriller. I haven't done anything like this before. I love watching them, I'm a big fan and being able to be a part of one of them was an exciting thing. I love Michael and Derek, they're so great, they're so talented and they wrote a really great script. I was very, very interested, their characters were wonderful and everything came together in the script for me.

You character didn’t actually get involved in the action scenes, was that kind of a bummer for you? Would you have rather played an actual spy instead of the role you had as the spy’s wife?

Yustman Annable: Yeah, I pitched taking over Richard Gere's role, but they were like, “Maybe next time.” No, I was happy to be a part of it no matter what. I wanted to be a part of the movie and the experience. I was very happy to play this character. I also think she's a very important role in the movie. I feel like it's essential for the movie to have this domestic character of Topher's wife because you get to see a little bit of his personal life, which always connects the audience even more.

Your role is very pivotal to the film because it’s through her that we really get a sense of Ben’s obsession with finding the Soviet assassin. Can you talk about how his obsession with catching the Russian spy begins to take a toll on your character’s marriage?

Yustman Annable: Absolutely. I think she's a very patient wife. I think she's very understanding and there comes a time where real family issues set in. They share two children together and as patient as one can be, it starts to weigh in on the relationship because one of them is so obsessed with work. It really obviously filters into your personal life, so that definitely played a toll in the movie. They have their issues, the husband works too much and she has to take care of the kids. I wanted to make sure it was as realistic as possible.

There have been many documented real life spies over the years, did you talk to any of their families or read any books or news articles to do research for this role?

Yustman Annable: No, I didn't do any research in that case. I did talk extensively with Michael about what the reality of that situation would be and how we would be playing this character because it's a tricky thing. You can't be too patient. He doesn't really reveal too much about his job and my character wouldn’t press too much, but after a while it's sort of is the type of thing that you need to know. You need to know what's going on and you need to be informed in order to feel like you are the family that you eventually want to be, or you're working towards being. It's a tricky thing. We were working on our scenes and Topher wanted to make sure we were very friendly, but I wanted to make sure it was a very natural and normal relationship, husband and wife. I definitely wouldn't want to be in that position in real life and who knows if my husband is an actual spy, I mean I wouldn’t really know. But it's tricky. It's a great character.

The movie has a lot of twists and turns but your character is oblivious to most of what is going on, just like the audience. What did you think of the film’s complicated storyline and the way it comes across on screen?

Yustman Annable: I think that the script is very well written. I think the audience will really love that part of it because there are a lot of twists and turns and it's really exciting for my character. She is completely oblivious to any of that. I think that works better that she's not in the loop about anything because it's more compelling to the story. I mean my character is sort of you know she's out of the loop. So staying away from knowing too much about anything that he is up to, you know they were respectful for not crossing any boundaries and that was very important to me. But I haven't actually seen the movie, I hate watching myself on screen I mean it's really embarrassing and I start to get too judgmental, but I thought all of it really, really worked.

What was it like working with Topher on the film? Did you two have a chance to really collaborate on your characters relationship?

Yustman Annable: He's great. He's a wonderful, wonderful actor. He's such a great person too. He's so uplifting and he's very, very easy to work with. We were friends before shooting the movie and we were actually supposed to do another project together, but it didn't work out with his schedule so we were really happy that we got to work together on this. I wish it would've been longer, but you know maybe next time. He's great, and he's such a great actor. This movie is going to be so great for him because a lot of people know him as the funny guy. He's done all those fun, quirky roles so this will be really great for him.

You had a couple of scenes with Richard Gere and he seems like a really intense actor to work with, so what was that experience like for you?

Yustman Annable: You would think he would be really intense and he is very focused and all that, but he's so calm and he's so lovely. He's so the opposite of that, of his character, which is a testament to him and how great of an actor he really is. He's wonderful. This is not his first barbecue. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's been there, done that. He's a total pro.

With Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, obviously they are two accomplished screenwriters but this was Michael’s directorial debut, so how do you think he did? Did he just hit the ground running or was there a learning curve that he had to overcome, and what was Derek’s role on the set as a writer/producer?

Yustman Annable: It was really, really impressive. Topher and I were talking about this, how great of a director Michael really is. I think he's going be one of the best, I really do. I was so impressed with how easy it was for him and he was completely prepared. He knew exactly what he wanted, he never really second guessed himself or at least I never saw him do it. He was able to come in and talk to me intensively about the character and about exactly what he wanted. I would bring in my own thoughts and we'd sort of collaborated together to create this character. It was really a team effort, which I always appreciate. Coming in as an actor and being able to have your own take on the character as well, that was very, very nice. I thought he did a wonderful job and I really hope that we can work together again one day. I think he's fantastic, him and Derek. They make such a great team together. They work so well together and there are never any egos involved, which is really nice to see in a team. They both bring different things to the table, which is great. I also liked working with Jeffrey (L. Kimball), our director of photography. My favorite movie is True Romance and he shot that so I was very happy to work with him.

Finally, I wanted to ask you about your current role on House, what has the experience of returning to television been like for you?

Yustman Annable: Oh my God, I love every minute of it. It's an interesting thing with TV and film, and you know I did TV for a while and then I did some film, and I really love being at home and being able to go into my own bed at the end of the day. I mean they both have their perks, but with TV you get to go on this journey with the audience because you don't really know what's going to happen with your character. As far as House goes, we're not really told what we're doing next or what the episode's going to be. We're seeing it all unfold with the audience, which is always very exciting. I love it and it's such a well-written show. I mean after eight seasons I'm just so amazed at how well written the scripts are, how the characters are being developed, and how these storylines are continuing to be fresh, new and exciting.

What's the chemistry been like on the set between you and actor Hugh Laurie?

Yustman Annable: I was very nervous coming in because during the first episode I had every single scene with Hugh and that's nerve racking. He's such a talented guy. I didn't know what to expect, but he's got this way about him that he makes you feel completely comfortable and able to explore and do whatever you like to do, which is very nice. He really is such a pro and makes you feel great. So far, so good, we're having a great time. I think my character is a great role. You’ll learn more and more about her as the season unfolds and she's really, really interesting. The next few episode in particular coming up, you'll learn a lot about her back-story, which you'll understand why she sort of is the way she is. It's such a great team effort. Everyone works so well together. Not only the actors, but the crew, I mean everybody. They just have it down. It's really a great thing to be a part of. I'm so lucky. I feel so honored that (producers) David Shore and Katie Jacobs thought of me. I pinch myself everyday because I was a fan of the show before and now it's very surreal being able to ... I mean I'm sitting in my trailer right now and I'm a member of the cast, so it's a pretty great feeling.

If the series continues after this season, would you like to stay on the show for a few more years?

Yustman Annable: I'm hoping so. If this turns out to be the last season, I'm just thankful that I even got to be a piece of the cake. If it does go for a couple more seasons, I'm more than happy to stick around and to have more fun on the show. It's so great and it's such a great experience.
