Actor Shane West is out for blood. More precisely, it’s his character Michael, from the popular CW series ‘Nikita‘, that’s on the warpath. After targeting the man he believed responsible for his wife and daughter’s deaths, Division’s top operative discovered his boss Percy ordered the fatal hit. His world shattered, Michael has turned to his former student-gone-rogue, Nikita, to take down his powerful employer. Having just arrived back in Los Angeles after wrapping in Toronto, West spoke exclusively to TV Squad about playing spy, nicknames that stick, and the new Michael.
With credits that include ‘Once and Again’, ‘ER’, and ‘A Walk To Remember’, you’ve always played characters with a bit of an attitude. What’s it been like portraying this bad-ass spy on Nikita?
This is unique for me. It’s kind of like being a kid again. You go to work, play spy, look as mean as you can, and hope it comes off believable. That’s the generic excitement of doing a role like this. But what’s so great about portraying Michael is he’s such a layered character. He has so many issues going on and it’s fun to create something out of that, especially with a character that doesn’t smile much!
