Quotes [on her Mortal Kombat character Sheeva] Well, let's see, it took five callbacks to finally convince the producers I was "tailor made" for the part! This was the one role I really worked hard to get. It was a great project, again I was on a cast that was absolutely phenomenal. Sheeva was a badass. But I didn't get to use my skills like I wanted to or was scripted. Things change, that was one of them. I was very disappointed when they cut out fights. Yeah, her outfit in the games was... well, let's just leave it at skimpy! No, I knew they weren't going to go that far for the live action. They wanted the younger audience and there are things you just can't do when you are trying to capture that audience.
