And then said, 'There's good news and bad news.' I said, 'Okay, what is it?' He said, 'You don't get killed.' I went 'Hurrah' because I get killed in most of my movies or TV shows. So I an Albanian accent, sent that in, and they loved it. But they were more concerned about the accent. Well, my manager phoned me, and I auditioned for it, sent my tape in and they liked the tape. When we spoke about Organized Crime, the actor explained the draw of playing Albi:
GAY OF THRONES SEASON 7 EPISODE 2 SERIES
This was a different kind of character for TV fans who may have best known Vinnie Jones for his work on ABC’s musical extravaganza Galavant or The CW superhero series Arrow. She failed at that, but arguably was one of the truest characters when it came to keeping besa.Īlbi also kept besa in his own way, but he was in a precarious position with “Eddie” after Stabler followed him to a gay bar, while he was also working at Kosta’s right hand and truly loved his wife, despite all of their differences and dysfunctions. I've been watching him for years, and it was a true honor to be able to work with him.Īgnes communicating through tone, expression, and gesture for almost all of her scenes made it all the more powerful when she actually spoke her two lines of the series, with the first revealing to Reggie that she hadn’t broken besa and the second as she tried to shoot Stabler in the courtroom. He just picks up on the tiniest little nuance of a look. There's so much you can do with tone and expression and gesture. There's so much in tone, even without words, as somebody who speaks four languages and spent my life traveling around the world. But I think a lot of it was also in my face, and in the urgency of my voice whether I was warning, or being kind to him or thanking him. And your voice is very hoarse, you know, and they didn't want to be able to decipher the actual words. And the one they had chosen, which we went with, was a kind where after brain damage, where actually part of your mouth and your gums are paralyzed. I researched these different speech defects. It was actually great, because obviously, I learned all the lines, even though they didn't want me to say the lines. She also shared that she “knew basically absolutely nothing” about what was in store for Agnes ahead of time, and didn’t even know that Vinnie Jones’ Albi was Agnes brother “until after like two episodes.” Plus, even though Agnes only spoke two lines in the season, she practiced her Albanian. Law & Order: Organized Crime didn’t just invent the reading of coffee grounds that Agnes did for Stabler back when she (rightfully) had her doubts about him as a friend of Reggie’s, and Caroline Lagerfelt did her research on how it worked. And there's a little Albanian cafe called Dua Kafe on East 14th Street in the East Village, and I went there to see how they make their coffee and how you read the grounds and everything, and they're now following me on Instagram. He was very happy when I told him the word 'love' that I had learned. I practice my Albanian with my super every day when I walk past him. I've been a stage actress for 25 years and I love to do my research. But not really Albania because it was closed off from the world for so long. I'm half Swedish and half English, and so these European countries are fairly familiar to me. It's so funny because, you know, I'm originally from Europe. If she’d had better aim and better luck in the courtroom, Stabler’s time with the KO could have come to a much bloodier ending! When I spoke to the actress about joining Organized Crime, she explained the research that she put into preparing for the role: Even Stabler underestimated Agnes, largely because her inability to speak concealed just what she was capable of, and he could have died for it. Caroline Lagerfelt played Agnes Bogdani, who actually didn’t seem like one of Season 2’s bad guys up until nearly the very end of the KO arc, when she proved that she wasn’t as willing to break besa as her son.
