NEW YORK -- We’ve seen her on the legal drama “All Rise'' originally on CBS and “First Wives Club” for BET+, but Ryan Michelle Bathe' has jumped to the top of the marquee as a star of “ The Endgame ” on NBC, debuting Monday.The series co-stars Morena Baccarin (“Homeland,” "Deadpool,” “Gotham”) as Elena Federova, an international arms dealer who in the pilot has just been captured. Federova is always at least one step ahead of everyone else, so even in custody she's got the upper hand.
The only person who comes close to figuring her out is Bathe's Val Turner of the FBI, a buttoned-up, by-the-book agent. Val’s hit a rough patch because her estranged husband, a former federal agent, was caught taking drug money — and she turned him in.Viewers will soon notice these two characters seem to have way more going on than meets the eye, which will play out over the course of the season.That two women are the stars of this thriller series for network television is “a huge step," acknowledges Bathe'.“It's not about, ‘Oh, who could she seduce next?’ No one’s getting seduced in our show.”Playing this character, says Bathe', “is very bleak in many ways because she is so isolated and so lonely and you have to feel that.
From ‘action’ to ‘cut’ it's high tension and there's nothing to break it. We don't get a chance to breathe on this show, and that's what makes it good.”She says she only begins to relax in bed for the night “somewhere between REM and deep sleep."Bathe' is the opposite of Val, she's upbeat, animated and very relatable.
She jokes that getting exercise is largely off the table lately because she would have to wake up too early.“Sometimes my pick-up time is 4:15 a.m. I’m not waking up at 2:30 to go work out.
