I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself; it always seems to merge with another genre.

Naya Rivera

The day that I got the phone call to tell me that I booked ‘Glee’ I was shooting ‘CSI Miami.’ I was playing this heroin addict…I’d been on a million auditions where I sang and looked exactly the same way and didn’t do anything different.
