So but it’s rare and really wonderful.Īnd I would say yes they – I am so lucky that they’ve put so much faith in me to kind of carry out the insanity that is Adalind’s character. And that’s for everybody.Īnd the feeling on set that the both of them have created is just – that we’re all one – a big family and everyone is just really wanting everybody else to succeed. We’re so happy that, you know, you are with us. I get calls from him every so often just telling me like oh, you’re doing such a great job. And you know David is – he’s just a champion of the show and all of is. Both Jim and David they really – well first they balance each other out so perfectly. Have you found that to be a factor with your character? And just in general, how have you found the experience of working with him as a collaborative partner?Ĭlaire Coffee: You know he’s fantastic. In the past, actresses in particular, have cited David Greenwalt as a consistent champion of complicated, multilayered, female characters. And yes, it’s just been a very pleasant surprise how it’s gone. I try not to – I try not to wonder too much beyond that. And I was a sort of, you know, henchman for Renard and that’s as far as I knew. When you signed up for the role did you have any idea that they would be this complex, or did you think it was a quick evil character?Ĭlaire Coffee: Yes, I know when I signed up it was just – it was one episode with a potential to recur. And I feel great that the fans have, you know, have love to hate me this long. So I really at this point consider myself insanely lucky.

And then you know, the series doesn’t go or that doesn’t happen. If the series gets picked up you’ll be a regular. I – yes, I always do mind getting killed off, so I’m so grateful that I had more than one episode.īefore Grimm I’d done a fair amount of you know, oh its guest star and it’s going to be recurring. What does that say about your talent, about the creative team’s confidence in you and really about the fans desire to see more of you?Ĭlaire Coffee: That’s a very flattering way to look at it for sure. And now you are a main component of the main storyline. When this series started, obviously you were a guest star. And I feel like I got to play three different characters in the same show so far, so it’s been great fun for me. I never knew where she was going, which helps, because you can kind of take each insane thing at face value and not really worry about what, you know, too far in the future or how it’s going to affect things in the future.īut you know as an actress – as an actress that’s really all you want is to be able to play extraordinary circumstances. And we don’t get the scripts, you know, except for probably a week in advance, so – so, it’s great. It’s been – I really do try to take it day-by-day. I think rollercoaster defines it most accurately. And so have you had a chance to kind of step back and say man, what an arc for this character?Ĭlaire Coffee: Oh yes.
She was actually one of the first Grimm I think we saw. Have you had a chance to reflect on your characters journey? At the beginning she was evil. I would have done it very differently had I know what it actually feels like. I feel very bad about my birthing scene of Diana. But it’s been good you know, and I think, you know, I feel so much better informed this season, playing the role of a mother after having – now that I am one myself. And I get to pop in and out to feed him or hang out with him on breaks from set. And luckily I’m able to bring him on set with me, so he hangs out in the trailer with my incredible nanny. In this interview, she talks about motherhood (both on the show and off), going to school at Northwestern University, starting on the show as a guest star and moving to a series regular and more.Ĭlaire Coffee: It’s been – you know it’s been – it’s so many things but, it’s been awesome. “I’m able to bring him on set with me, so he hangs out in the trailer with my incredible nanny.” NBC’s Grimm is back for its fifth and actress Claire Coffee, who plays Adalind, took some time out of her busy schedule to jump on a conference call to chat about the upcoming season.Ĭoffee is a new mom so she’s juggling that and her acting duties on the popular show.
