Quotes from Reiko

TV Guide said of Reiko... 'Dessler may be the least showy role in this category, yet Aylesworth — whom we once dubbed TV's best-kept secret — still manages to shine. Rarely moving from behind a computer, she makes a big impact by imbuing her character's little gestures with hidden meaning and untold import.'

Reiko was also in a Scope commercial.

She once injured her head quite severely at an after-party for "24". Kiefer Sutherland was the one who took care of her and made sure she was rushed to the hospital.

She dated Kiefer Sutherland.

'24' won the Golden Globe for Best Television Drama in January of 2004. Reiko accompanied Kiefer Sutherland, Elisha Cuthbert, Dennis Haysbert and the show's producers on stage to collect the award.

Salary - $150,000+ per episode of '24' on Fox.

Reiko Aylesworth Quotes

Quote - "I didn't know a soul when I got to New York and I felt really displaced. The first week I was euphoric, and then I realized how isolating the city can be." - On her move to NY to pursue acting

Quote - "Who's going to remember someone like me, who's had big parts in very small movies and small parts in big movies?" asks Aylesworth. "Like in the Harrison Ford movie Random Hearts, I play the secretary of Harrison's dead wife. I got to cry in some scenes with Harrison." - On her career so far

Quote - "There's just this sexual charge to everything because of the urgency. We have to stop the bomb, now! This might be our last day on earth! We're all going to die, let's get our rocks off! That kind of thing. And then you've got Kiefer and his velvety voice. He's got chemistry with…the lamp-post…anything." - On '24'

this last quote is funny but I assume for the ladies so true !!

No longer on the forgotten now signed to do Damages on FX in Winer of 2010

Thanks for the new thread and the preview video for The Forgotten.

Logan · 06-21-2009, 12:31 PM

Ok forget Annie/ Renee That photo alone makes me more in Love with Reiko .

Hawthorn · 06-22-2009, 05:47 PM

I didn't know a lot about The Forgotten, so I went to look for some info, and found out they're recasting another actress in what was Reiko's role. Too bad.
I read the news on TV Guide (here), but their Mega Buzz column also reports that Reiko could have scored a recurring role in the sci-fi series Stargate Universe (here is the update).

I've seen her on Lost btw!!

I catched up with the show!

she looks good

with the baby!

Logan · 06-24-2009, 01:45 PM

Well she was is the pilot episode ,that has yet to air, so not sure what happened .

Dam that will be the 2nd new show not picked up or change in actress. CBS had a comedy with Sasha Alexander, formerly of NCIS, but that show didn't get picked up .

Hawthorn · 06-26-2009, 10:42 AM

I guess they didn't think Reiko was cut for the role afterall, or that they could get someone more popular, now that the series has received the green light.
They're also recasting the lead character, who was originally played by Rupert Penry-Jones.

Logan · 06-26-2009, 02:36 PM

Fran it is all about the money . When she was in 24 she was paid $150,000. a episode .

If they can hire new actors at base pay it saves the network

Hawthorn · 07-08-2009, 07:04 AM

I still believe it's possible they want more recognizable/popular faces now that the pilot has been picked up, and that was more important than acting skills or money issues. I was reading the other day that the main lead, who should have been played by Ruper Penry-Jones, is now portrayed by Christian Slater, and I doubt he's less expensive than the British actor.

24’s Reiko Aylesworth cast in Stargate Universe

Saturday - June 13, 2009

Reiko Aylesworth

Upcoming SGU episode “Life”

Actress Reiko Aylesworth has been cast in a key guest role in an upcoming episode of Stargate Universe, consulting producer Joseph Mallozzi revealed (blog). The actress will play Sharon, Camille Wray’s long-time life partner back on Earth, in the episode “Life.”

The 38-year-old Chicago native plays Michelle Dessler on Fox’s hit action series 24. Fans of ABC’s LOST will also recognize her as Amy Goodspeed, a DHARMA member who gave birth to a baby in the recent fifth season. Her acting credits also include The West Wing, C.S.I., and a recurring role on ER.

Aylesworth’s “touching turn as Sharon proves alternately uplifting and heart-rending,” Mallozzi said of the episode. “Great casting.”

She's so pretty!

I still wish she had never been killed off in 24.

Hawthorn · 08-07-2009, 05:25 AM

When does Stargate Universe premiere, next October?

BTW for anoybody who may be curious - the role played by Reiko in the pilot of "The Forgotten" has been given to Heather Stephens in the new version.
