Breakout Star: Cristine Rose
Yeah, yeah…she’s been in the entertainment business for so long, how can she be called a new celebrity? Because this week, it appeared to me that she is probably the most formidable star of Heroes, where she plays one of the original people with superpowers, Mama Petrelli.
If you have been watching the season premiere, then you must be aware of how much important her character has developed. From a supporting cast member who only appears as guest once in a while (and I thought was gonna stay that way), Mama Petrelli now sits at the head of the table and is probably stirring everything that’s going to happen in the show;s third season.
I’m sure you’ve seen Cristine in almost every TV show running in the last two decades. She was on Gilmore Girls, on Friends, on King and Queens, on How I Met Your Mother. She usually played somebody else’s mom and was very good at it. It’s the very same role that got her into Heroes in the first place.
I’m not yet sure what her character will be like. Angela Petrelli seems driven and could thus become a really effective villain…someone like how Ben is on Lost.
At 57 years old and with a wealth of experience career wise, Cristine Rose is the oldest breakout TV star we’ve seen.
Is the new role going to put big pressure on Cristine Rose, who has never been a big TV star before all this? How will she be able to handle the shift from supporting cast to very important cast?
