Correct me if I’m wrong but Jasika modeled alt Astrid after who sister who has a form of savant syndrome I believe

She has a 22-year-old sister, Sedric, who is autistic.

However, Jasika claims she did not base AltAstrid on her.

I've also read somewhere that she based alt Astrid on her sister. Now it seems not true, based on that link info.

That’s odd, I really wish I could remember where I read it

I swore I heard it on a blu-ray commentary, oh well who knows

You're both right.

I read it too.

Exclusive Interview: FRINGE actress Jasika Nicole puts in double time
The actress talks playing two Astrids, working with John Noble and the line of the year

AX: Are you basing how you play alternate-Astrid on observations of your sister?

NICOLE: A little bit. My sister doesn’t have Asperger’s. She’s lower-functioning than someone with Asperger’s. My sister does not verbally communicate well at all. Astrid has a fine grasp of the English language, but she’s really bad in social situations. So there are a couple things that I did base on my sister, like the fact that she does not make eye contact when she tries to relay information to you. She looks away from you or she looks down. She won’t look at your eyes when she’s talking to you. Now that autism is such a big thing that people are familiar with it, it turns out that a lot of people who are just awkward or antisocial or off are really autistic [laughs]. It’s something that a lot of people are familiar with, actually.

It really is

Ah, that was the article indeed. Thanks so much for bringing it up

First off, the Link for this Thread has NOT been updated in the Fringe Board Guide OP

Awww, an Astrid and Peter video

Ropetuned · 04-26-2021, 09:05 PM

Don’t see many of those

Ropetuned · 05-14-2021, 10:55 PM

Bumping a few older threads

I did not realize that Jasika is now on the Punky Brewster reboot on Bravo.
