Preview
Sarah Shahi stars on Reverie as Mara Kint. Shahi, 38, is a former NFL cheerleader and television actress. She played Kate Reed in USA’s Fairly Legal in 2011, Carmen on The L Word, and Sameen Shaw on Person of Interest.
The actress was born and raised in Texas. Her mother is Spanish-Iranian, and her father is from Iran.
In a May interview with Syfy.com, Shahi opened up about what attracted her to the project upon readign it. “You know, Reverie was one of those projects that fell kind of exactly at the right time. My father had just passed, and I didn’t really have a great relationship with him. He was a drug addict. He was abusive. My mother and I were in and out of women’s shelters when I was younger.”
She continues, “Reverie was one of those pieces that I read and I felt like I was the perfect person to play it. She was so broken, she was trying to overcome the loss of her sister and her niece. She was being haunted by them throughout the series. And then on top of that you’ve got this new upcoming director named Steven Spielberg [laughs] — an opportunity to work with him. I felt like in a way I’d come full circle. Everything just made sense, you know?”
Shahi explains that she invested a lot of herself into this character; and a lot of herself into this role. “Because of everything that was going on with me personally at the time, this did become very personal, I was very raw… It was such a purging of so many things for me shooting this show.”
Be sure to tune into tonight’s episode of “Reverie” on NBC at 10pm ET/PT.
