Aced Magazine: You’re also in the TV pilot of “LA Noir,” directed by Frank Darabont. Can you describe your role as mobster Mickey Cohen’s first victim?

Haley Strode: I appear early in the pilot. And I was delighted to hear that it was picked up for more episodes. It’s a flashback to 1922, when Mickey Cohen was 9 years old. His first crime was robbing a movie theater. I’m this lady who works at the theater selling tickets and no one else is around. So Mickey walks up with two of his school-aged friends who look harmless—with baseball bats. It’s a danger- and violence-filled scene that was challenging to shoot. I love Frank Darabont as a director. I grew up watching Shawshank Redemption over and over. By the way, mine was the first audition tape he saw. At the end of the day, when we were reviewing my footage, Frank read lines with me. That doesn’t happen a lot to have a director read a script with you. It speaks volumes about the kind of director he is and why he works so much.
