Slice of SciFi Interview With “The Middleman” Star Natalie Morales

Slice of SciFi journalist Linda Craddock was able to get actress Natalie Morales to slow down just long enough to talk a bit about her new ABC Family series “The Middleman,” based on the popular comic book. Morales, who got into acting quite b...y accident, is best known for her part in the VG “Pimp My Ride,” the big screen feature film “Miami Vice” and guest shot on “C.S.I. Miami” is the female lead for the new series. Her co-star for the new series is Matt Kesslar (”Jekyll”) as The Middleman. In real-life, Natalie is a big fan of Star Wars and fashions her character in the new show as a modern-day Hans Solo. Morales stars as Wendy Watson, a young lady who is unexpectedly saved by a comic book-type hero known only as “The Middleman” during a lab explosion. The way Wendy handles herself during this crises so impresses the hero that she joins him in his crime-fighting crusade. The dramedy debuts on the ABC Family cable network once “Greek” finishes out its season run. Look for the primetime premiere of this anticipated series on June 16, 2008 8/7C.
