Dominique Fishback Looks Back on "The Knick"

[JamesG]

Dominique Fishback’s big TV break may not seem very auspicious; after all, she played a character named “Black Woman” and only had a few lines… but “I got to say them opposite Clive Owen, which is pretty good, you know?” she says.

In addition to trying to figure out how things worked on the intricate Showtime production, the actress ran into a problem with vision. Not the director’s take on her character or anything like that — actual vision. Fishback wears glasses in real life but neglected to wear contacts during the shoot, which took place at night in a sparingly lit area.

“It was super dark, and I didn’t know where the camera was!” she recalls, laughing. “And everybody’s moving so fast and they all seemed to know what they were doing, so I was really nervous about it.”
