I do, yeah.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Yeah, I like to keep things interesting.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

I like to challenge myself.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

I don't, you know, I find that most people want to put you in a box.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

So I want to do everything.

Young Hollywood

Not literally.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Literally.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

No, literally they do.

Young Hollywood

I want to put you in a box.

Young Hollywood

I could see that.

Young Hollywood

I could see that.

Young Hollywood

And which you are doing now, you've just mentioned Murder in the murder in the first, which is a new show.

Young Hollywood

Digs, Kathleen Robertson.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

And you you haven't told me yet, but your role is pretty amazing, so you say.

Young Hollywood

Amazing.

Young Hollywood

Can you tell us about it?

Young Hollywood

Or is it okay?

Emmanuelle Chriqui

No, I mean, I don't think it's a secret at all.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

She's a

Young Hollywood

If it is, you're going to be in trouble.

Young Hollywood

Who cares?

Young Hollywood

You're on the sofa now.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

No, I mean, no, it's fine.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

I I play um my character used to serve in the Israeli army, and then she comes and she joins uh the San Francisco Police Department, and she's um a sergeant in the gang unit.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

And she's, you know, half Israeli, half Mexican.

Young Hollywood

Right.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

And um basically the polar opposite of what I played on Entourage, which I'm very happy about.

Young Hollywood

That's great.

Young Hollywood

And totally different to the three nights stand as well.

Young Hollywood

So you're keeping the variation.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Yeah, yeah.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Mixing it up, keeping it interesting.

Young Hollywood

Mixing it up.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, great.

Young Hollywood

And uh and away from that as well, killing Jesus.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Um, not once again, we're talking about a project.

Young Hollywood

Project.

Young Hollywood

Let's be clear.

Young Hollywood

I just realized when I said that out loud.

Young Hollywood

Let's just be clear.

Young Hollywood

Um, no religious rights.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Isn't it?

Emmanuelle Chriqui

I have to tell you this is really funny.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

We took a picture when we were in Morocco cuz we were shooting there and I tweeted uh something #killingJesus.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

And a friend of mine literally texted me and was like, I wouldn't tweet that if I were you.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

I was like, that's the name of the project.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I wonder how that's going to go um just initially when people just see the see the project name.

Young Hollywood

So I think it's a little jarring, but listen, it's based on a Bill O'Reilly book that is that did very well.

Young Hollywood

It was a best seller, so I think we'll be okay.

Young Hollywood

We won't be the ones that get in trouble for it.

Young Hollywood

He's say he wrote the book.

Young Hollywood

Go go find him.

Emmanuelle Chriqui

Exactly.

Emmanuelle Chriqui
