Spartacus: Vengeance S03E02

As befits her bubbly personality, Tasmanian-born actress Bonnie Sveen describes with an infectious laugh the memorable audition process she went through for Spartcaus: Vengeance, in which she made her nude debut this week. "Due to her colourful nature, playing a character like Chadara takes a lot of courage," stated the diminutive 5'4" former Home and Away star. "I had to deliver my lines to the reader imagining a giant Gladiator having sex with me. Goodbye self-consciousness!"

Chandara is a sex slave who's "very ruthless and in it for herself" so Sveen certainly knew what would be expected of her in the role. In theory, she insists, she had no problem with baring all on screen. "I'm a painter so I'm used to the naked anatomy. It's definitely a challenge, but it's an opportunity to discover a new braveness within yourself," she believes. In reality, Sveen stated there is still no way of preparing for the idea of getting nude on set. "If I could go back, I'd tell myself not to worry about it or even think about it," she said. "Once you're there you launch into it as you do in any other circumstance, performing." In fact, what surprised Sveen the most about working on Spartacus was the whole experience was different to anything she could've imagined. She gives the example of the atmosphere of those closed-set sex scenes. "The part of me observing the ridiculousness of what I was in just made me want to laugh!" she giggles. Thankfully, the costuming, hair, and make-up all help to make it easier to get into the spirit. "Everything you're given contributes to the mask of your character," explains Sveen. "Including the dirt and fake tan!"
