Marisol Nichols: The Bombshell

Email this article Print this article Send us a tip

24's femme fatale. From our September 2007 Juice issue: the New Power Generation.

Cold Case. Nip/Tuck. Showtime's much-missed Resurrection Blvd. Even Big Momma's House 2. Marisol Nichols has stolen scenes and lit up screens in the most popular of films and telefilms, but now she's living the same 24 hours for an entire season. "There's a gamut of emotions you're carrying with you the whole time," says the actor about her role as Nadia Yassir on FOX's still-humming 24. "That's what gets such raw performances." But it's not all terrorist threats and simmering romantic tension for the actress - the Mexican/Hungarian/Romanian stunner got in touch with her silly side as a star in the upcoming Delta Farce (Lionsgate). Even so, we're on edge waiting to see how Nichols will be spending her next 24. For more interviews from our Juice list, click here. NAME: Marisol Nichols
AGE: 33
BORN : Chicago
RESIDES : Los Angeles PERSONAL MOTTO:
"With knowledge comes responsibility." SOMETHING I DO EVERY DAY FOR SANITY:
"Try and help someone else. There are enough problems in the world to take the focus off myself. I'm in Washington DC at the moment working with groups of parent's rights activists who are fighting for federal reform regarding the misleading information they are getting in regards to the prescription drugs widely prescribed to millions of children. These parents have experienced firsthand their children becoming, psychotic, violent and suicidal because they weren't accurately informed of the documented side effects of these drugs. Their courage to help others inspires me." PLACE WHERE I'M MOST PRODUCTIVE:
"On the set. Being fortunate enough to be a part of a production like 24, where everyone is working together, demanding such a high standard of excellence is exhilarating. Being in a creative environment is where I thrive." FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING/GOOD LUCK CHARM:
"My old pair of Diesel jeans." MOST FRUSTRATING MOMENT:
"Being denied chocolate under any circumstances." PERSON I ADMIRE MOST::
"My best friend." 5 YEARS AGO, MY GOAL WAS...:
"To build up a body of work I could be proud of." 5 YEARS FROM NOW, MY GOAL IS...:
"To continue to work with people that I respect and admire in the film industry in both artistic and philanthropic endeavors." BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING OUR GENERATION:
"The insane increase of prescription drugs in our culture that has led us to what we now call the Generation rX." FAVORITE BOOK, AND WHY:
"Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It turned me on to the world of Science Fiction and infinite possibility." FAVORITE MOVIE, AND WHY:
"Grease. Because when I saw it as a child I decided to become an actor. I was blown away by the magnetic presence of John Travolta." SONGS I LISTEN TO IN MY CAR :
"Right now? Lily Allen. Arctic Monkeys. Beyonce. Corrine Bailey Rae. Amy Winehouse. Ozomatli.
