Recently actress Samantha Mathis joined the cast of the FX series The Strain. Mathis plays the role of Councilwoman Justine Faraldo, a Staten Island born politician, who after losing her firefighter husband in the World Trade Center attacks, is not about to lose the city to the strigoi just because the government isn’t taking care of the problem. She may be unorthodox, but she is able to make Staten Island plague-free and keep the vampires out. Her power will only continue to grow.

Yesterday Mathis talked to the media about her character and her time working on the series.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about the idea of using real-life politicians for inspiration. "I had a very brief conversation when I was brought on to play Justine. I mean I watched some footage of Geraldine Ferraro. I really tried to draw from what Staten Island is like today and looked at footage from some council people from Staten Island. I live in New York City, so there’s no shortage of access to that. In fact, our NY1 news station on Time Warner is incredible in terms of covering Staten Island news.
