Assignment X recently chatted with Morena about both Homeland and V.

ASSIGNMENT X: How did you become involved in HOMELAND?

MORENA BACCARIN: I had met with [Showtime executive] David Nevins before, for other project,s and tested for things when he was at Imagine, and had a relationship with [casting director] Amy Britt, who is head of casting at Showtime, who cast me on FIREFLY. Just in talks with everybody, this was something that we all felt about that I should go after, and so I auditioned for it and was lucky enough to get it.
