Forum member COEXERJ145 recently attended that “An Evening With Reiko Aylesworth” that was advertised on the site a week or so ago. He came back with details she offered on AvP2:
“- Fox hired Reiko the best personal trainer in Vancouver to help her prepare for the role. She worked out “2-3 times a day” and had a very strict diet and supplement regiment so she could appear “fit, toned, buffed and bulked up” for the role of Kelly O’Brien.
– Weapons she fires in the show include pistols, machineguns, the SAW (aka M249 Squad Automatic Weapon) and a tank mounted machine gun that “if you stand it up, it would be like twice my height and shoots flame out 8 feet when you fire it.” (Reiko is only 5’4”.)(I’m guessing this is a Browning M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun.)”
To read the rest of COEXERJ145’s report, head over to the thread in the forum and you can ask him some questions. I’d like to thank COEXERJ145 for posting up this information.
Rofl.
Pwnt.
Oic.. Thanx; guess i should of thought about it first lol
I really liked her in Invasion. Shame it was cancelled. Had a lot of potential.
And I did like the Newt/Ripley relationship, if only because it made Alien 3 that much darker.
Let me provide a bit of background. Reiko's first film role was on "One Life to Live" in 1993-1994. After the season was over, she didn't act for a while and worked in a daycare center. She loves working with children, both as part of acting, and in the real world. This is why she liked the part of being a mother. In no way did she say that she didn't enjoy the rest of the film.
Not that I'm saying it was meant to, though. Just a personal observation.
Which parts didn't you like Sil?
Sounds like Kelly survives a long time.
I would ask that everyone try not to be rude or disparaging toward Reiko like some idiots on IMDB are all the time. I didn't post this to create a thread for Reiko bashing.
When the event was over, I got to spend several minutes with her because I won the auction of a "24" Season 2 t-shirt (the entire event was to raise money for a scholarship for theater arts) which Reiko autographed for me along with a person message. I also have a picture of me and her.
I can tell you she is a very genuine, down to earth, and friendly person. She spent a lot of time talking with everyone there who wanted a chance to meet her, have something autographed, or get a picture with her. And even without being all made up she was still gorgeous.
