we think it's going to be interesting and somewhat different of a psychological thriller and different kind of procedural show because we're not looking for who, we're looking for why. why did this seemingly normal young woman who has a family and a child and a husband, wlie did she do this horrific act. >> well it fits because when we look at you watching the first couple minutes of this, it seems like a role that you would be perfect for, like a sweet mom and all this stuff. >> what i do mean by that? >> when you snap i was like oh my gosh. did you like exploring that part of the human psyche, like what causes someone to snap like that. >> that's it, right. this is what's so wonderful about my job, i goat step into the shoes of someone else and try to understand what this person could have been going through and how we all, as human beings, truly have the possibility to snap. we have it within us. and we don't do it, but what makes you actually cross the line. >> so we said that we weren't

you put it we know who did it we need to know why. so without spoilg it you can take me at all in that direction as to what us kaz her to go from this day at the beach to sitting in that interrogation room? >> right. so what i can say is that we're tracking a story through the present and we're tracking a story through the past. so we're going to delve into a lot of her trisry and family's history and the experiences that she's had as a younger person and how that life kind of experience can bring you up to one point where you make a decision in your life that changes, you know, your whole existence. >> i was reading an interview you did i think was with marie clair or something and you said sometimes in real life i have trouble standing up for myself and exploring this character sort of made you explore that part of you. that made me like you more knowing that you -- that sometimes have you trouble. >> well thank you. >> she was so so on you before that. >> but that just pushed me over the edge. there's something about t

that's just one of my personal -- personal struggles for my whole life to be able to say, no, i'm not comfortable with that or this is important to me and i want to do this. i just -- it's one of my many flaws that i'm going to be working on for my whole life. >> i don't know. >> when someone comes on the show and they give us all this information and they do the career run candown, how old, you when you started in this business? >> i started professionally working i started seventh heaven when i was 14. >> did you ever think at that age that you would get to do the variety of roles that you've now had a chance to do? >> you know, i don't think i was thinking so far in the future when i was that young. i was passionate about this kind of work, ways motivated and dedicated to work hard and try to create something. but i don't think i really thought this far ahead. i dreamed big, you know, i think when i was a kid i probably said, i want to be a movie s

term i'd heard and something that i aspired to but didn't quite know what that meant. >> yeah. >> so i don't know exactly what i was thinking about when i -- >> it's worked out well. >> i think ways totally insane. my parents were totally insane to let me do this crazy career. >> you have a little boy, sigh las. >> i do. >> little 2-year-old. would you allow or want him to go along the same path that you and your husband have chose? >> it's sufficient a tough question because it's hard to say no because i was given so many opportunities and my family was so supportive of everything even when i was so young. but it's hard to say yes because it's such an intense experience, it's a tough business, it's a ruthless business and, you know, i would -- i would be hesitant if he was so young. i would say, you know what? please finish high school, go to college, then do whatever you want to do. anything you want to did, but, you know, we'll see what happens when he's 14 and begging to do something. >

they also are susceptible to getting something in their eye. so you either want them in a crate that's secured or in a harness that's made specifically for them. >> you belt the crate right in. >> yes. >> and have you to be careful because cars get hot. >> this is a sun adviser from ahn mall release fund and it helps spread the word we should not leave our pets unsupervised in the car. >> and then we have this tweet pooch here. >> there's lots of pair sites and things weapon need to be aware of during the summer. make sure to talk to your veterinarian to find the one that's most important for them. and the other thing is make sure you are keep your. he well groomed. if they have mats in their coat they're more susceptible to hot spots and it's harder to find any pair sites. >> matt's got a cute dog. >> i don't think lal wants go in the pool. >> this is about a safety jacket, a life jacket for dogs when they're in the water. >> even people somebody here was telling me this vae labrador who loves the water. even dogs who love the water you
