Matsuda Seiko to appear on US tv show "BONES"
Well-known singer, actress and "eternal idol" Matsuda Seiko (47) will make an appearance on the American hit-series "Bones", it has been announced today. She’ll still make her entry as a Japanese journalist in the currently airing 5th season with her first scenes airing in April.
The show is based on forensic science, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, 40) to the forensic anthropology team of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel, 33).
Matsuda received the offer from the production team since they were in need of a good actress for the role of a Japanese journalist that is supposed to cover some of Brennan’s work. She’s fluent in English, her acting is unquestionable and her popularity high. There is no doubt that they’ve chosen the right actress for the role. In the 90’s she already made her singer debut in several music markets including America with rather good results for an Asian artist, so she isn’t totally unfamiliar with the American market nor the language.
Once she got the offer, she didn’t hesitate to agree even though she didn’t even receive the script. Both sides were happy and she worked hard to memorize the script despite her nationwide tour in November and December. At the beginning of this year she then filmed 2 weeks for the series without the media finding out.
The American staff and even the starring actress Deschanel were really surprised about her level of professionalism. She might be fluent an all, but none of them expected her to be that good despite the English script. "I tried not to be a bother for them. You fully have to understand your partner’s words and be able to answer properly." Unfortunately it won’t be an addition to the regular cast, but Matsuda would be ready whenever they are. "I really would love to play that role again."
