We're With Her: Gina Rodriguez

"Golden Globe winner, former street racer and Hollywood powerhouse Gina Rodriguez goes from uptight to alright in Amazon rom-com / Want You Back."

- By Maggie Reynolds

In I Want You Back (out in February on Amazon Prime Video) your character discovers uniqueness isn't all it's cracked up to be.

It was wonderful to play this tightly wound person who badly desires to be original. She latches onto a new boyfriend, who might be able to help her bring her specialness to the surface. But turns out she's not unique. And that's OK.

Your character is backed into a ménage à trois. Tricky scene?

Our director, Jason Orley, created a really safe environment that allowed Jenny [Slate] and me to be silly and funny...as well as half-naked. We wanted the scene to come off as this nuanced experience where we are trying to be experimental but are both uncomfortable and wanting to peel off our skin at the same time.

Your co-star Charlie Day is known for his awkwardness and sublime screeching. Is he really that loud in real life?
