Catherine Zeta-Jones on her Prodigal Son experience: "For me, as an actor, it was just zero to 60 to 100 in three seconds"

"Plotting out the character, I had to come in at a certain level," the Oscar-winning actress says of joining midway through this season. “So the first two episodes I had not many scenes, and it was a wonderful exercise for me as an actor of not having 90 minutes to explain a character to my audience, which is a luxury that you have if you do a movie. It’s a luxury if you’re in every scene of 13 episodes of a Season 1 or 13 episodes of a Season 2. But when you come into an existing show and you have a very very definite idea of the character but very little screen time to do it in, it was an excellent exercise for me.”
