Tiffany Hines is co-starring in “Infected” along side. She also has done a lot of TV including “Nikita” to “Bones”. Media Mikes had a chance to chat with Tiffany about her new film and also her TV work.

Mike Gencarelli: Give us a little background on the film, “Infected” and your role in the film?
Tiffany Hines: The film is a sci-fi thriller about six friends that are exposed to a lethal airborne virus and their struggle to keep from succumbing to its effects. My character Rhonda, is one of the friends who is exposed. She is the kind of girl who everyone wants as their best friend. She’d do anything to protect the people she loves and she’s got your back when it counts. I really enjoyed playing her.

MG: How was it working with such a great cast i.e. Vinnie Jones,Danny Glover and Beverley Mitchell?
TH: It was amazing! I love working with people that have been working for so long because you learn so much from them. When my agent called to tell me that I was going to do a movie with Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones, I almost dropped my cell phone on the floor. The opportunity to work on a film with two talented and respected veterans was such a blessing. And working with Beverley was such a dream. Not only is she the sweetest most amazing person, but she is such a gifted and brilliant actress. Every scene we had together, she brought so much honesty and pureness to the work and gave so much. It was incredible to work with her.

MG: Any fun stories from working on the film or difficult moments?
TH: The first day of shooting, a couple of our cast members Leebo Freeman and Ryan Pinkston started talking about Planking. Before we knew it, Leebo was planking on his Movie set chair and pictures were being snapped. After that, the planking on set got OUT of control. For the rest of the shoot, cast members could be seen planking almost any and everywhere. It was awesome! To this day, when I walk in a room, I can size it up in under a minute and tell you the best places to plank.

MG: What did you like most about playing Jaden on the hit series “Nikita”?
TH: I loved the physical part of my job the most. Every day I was learning some incredible fight choreography, or how to assemble and disassemble guns, or film some heart pounding shootout scene. It was a hell of a rush and very addicting. I definitely want to do more action projects in my career.

MG: Can we expect Jaden back for season two of “Nikita”?
TH: As of right now, I haven’t heard of any plans for Jaden to return, but fans can catch me on another CW show this year. I will play a detective named Kat during the new season of 90210 airing Tuesdays at 8pm. Kat is a lot different from Jaden, but she’s still a badass chick with a gun so I think you will really dig her!

MG: Going from “Nikita” to “Bones”, tell us how working on the two shows differ?
TH: The two shows couldn’t be more different. On Nikita I was a 20 year old assassin in training who got to play with guns all day and on Bones, my character Michelle Welton is only 17, is researching colleges, and is working on trying to balance becoming a woman while developing her relationship with her adoptive mother Camille Saroyan. The two worlds of Nikita and Bones are so different, and I like that. I find playing characters that are so different from one another incredibly stimulating.

MG: What do you look for most in a role when approaching a project?
TH: I find that what makes people interesting is the many different faces they have. I don’t believe that there is such a thing as a “good” person or “bad” person. A person can be loving, cruel, sweet, sinister all at the same time. We are all made up of so many different flavors and I try to find that in my characters. The more faces a character has to them, the more real they become to me, the more interesting I find them to be, and the more fun I have playing them.
