Anna Hopkins Looks Back on "Defiance"

“Defiance was a game changer,” Anna Hopkins says of her run as Earth Republic soldier/propaganda filmmaker Jessica “Berlin” Rainer.

“When I read the character description, I was just so excited because she was so very interesting. It was one of the larger roles that I ever auditioned for, and they had plans for her that I wasn’t necessarily privy to at the beginning, but the material that we got… you could tell that there was going to be lot for her. I learned so much on that show.”



Including, braving Celsius temps that often went into the negative double-digits.

“We would cover ourselves in as many heat pads as human bodies could take, and hug each other a lot!” recalls Hopkins. For good measure, once back at base camp, “We would then cuddle with our dogs” in warm, cozy trailers.
