Amy Acker
Amy Acker says she has always been a huge fan of the character of Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing.
Acker takes on that role as Joss Whedon brings his interpretation of the William Shakespeare play to the big screen this week.
Speaking to exclusively to us here at FemaleFirst the actress said: "This is a character that I have loved since I read the play in high school; I would be lying if didn’t say I have sat alone in my bedroom saying the words out loud.
"I think it is just one of the best written parts as she is an amazingly strong woman who is so much before her time. I think of Beatrice as a role model for me as a person as well: I wish that I could be like her in real life (laughs).
"My first job out of college I played Hero and as a young actress looking up to the actress playing Beatrice it made me know that this was what I really wanted to do."
Much Ado About Nothing is the first film for Whedon in twelve months and while it is a modern day setting her has kept the original language of the play.
