She never considered TV until Covert Affairs



Piper Perabo was in the middle of a play during a writer's strike when the USA Network's "Covert Affairs" script came to her attention. In a 2010 interview, she explained that she had never really considered doing TV, but there was something about the character Annie Walker that interested her. "And so when this came up, although I hadn't really considered doing television before, because it was a feminine heroine, that really attracted me to it, you know what I mean? Not just playing like the girlfriend of the sidekick or the person who's always being rescued."

Perabo's role on "Covert Affairs" required her to speak a whopping 18 languages. Her character being a CIA agent meant she was always in foreign countries, where speaking English would make little sense. Still, after learning nearly 20 different languages for scenes, she reportedly put a stop to it. "Annie is speaking 18 languages now, and I told the writer to put a lid on it already! It's starting to get a little bit ridiculous, although some of the languages have begun to get easier for me," Perabo said. "In the beginning, she didn't speak any tonal languages, and now she speaks Mandarin. The tonal languages are honestly REALLY difficult for me" (via Celeb Dirty Laundry).

While Perabo initially hadn't considered television as a route for her career, after five seasons playing Annie Walker, she found a home for herself on the small screen.
