Homeland S01E02

Morena Baccarin proves again she’s flesh and blood on Homeland. The Brazilian-born actress is best known for her role as alien queen Anna on ABC’s short-lived sci-fi remake V. That makes her down-to-earth work as Jessica, the morally conflicted wife of tortured ex-POW Nicholas Brody on Showtime’s anti-terrorism drama all the more refreshing. As Jessica deals with her husband’s PTSD — and grapples with the affair she had with his best friend after she assumed he was dead — Baccarin gives an emotionally (and sometimes physically) naked performance.

"It’s nice to be human again and play emotions and to have a lot going on emotionally," Morena told Access Hollywood about her upcoming story line, which finds her husband starting out unaware of her new relationship. "It gets very intense and you can’t blame her – [her husband Scott] was gone for eight years and at a certain point you have to assume he’s dead. And just as she was putting that behind her, he comes home, so it’s just a really impossible situation for everybody and it gets really intense."


While her short, Audrey Hepburn-esque crop was a trademark of her “V” character, alien leader Anna, Morena has a softer, chin-length ‘do for “Homeland” thanks to a wig, and the actress confirmed she’s ready to leave her short haircut behind in her own life. "I’m growing it out, yeah," she said. "I’m just ready for a change. This woman is a very different woman from Anna and I felt it was very important for me to play this character to morph into something else and the hair was a part of that," Morena added.

The role also sees the actress playing a mother of two children whose lives are rocked when their presumed-dead father comes home. "I did have a daughter on ‘V,’ even though [in real life] she was five years younger than I was — and a lot of incubated babies. It’s really fun, it’s very grounding, it’s different," Morena said of playing a military wife and mother. "I don’t have kids of my own, but I think any woman can imagine having children. It’s really nice… It’s very real and it’s very grounded in the home stories of these characters. I think that adds to the heartbreak aspect of this man being gone for eight years."
