WAREHOUSE 13 Interview with Allison Scagliotti, Saul Rubinek & Aaron Ashmore

Recently NiceGirls had a chance to sit in on a conference call with Allison Scagliotti, Saul Rubinek and Aaron Ashmore from Warehosue 13.

Favorite Episode:

Allison Scagliotti: Saul, you remember when we go out in search of Beethoven’s clock and how much fun we had together.

Saul Rubinek: Oh, God. That was hilarious.

Allison Scagliotti: And it’s the episode where Claudia turns 21. I have a big musical episode at the end and it was nice. But I just remember looking back on that week and just remembering how much fun I had doing it.

Adding Kelly Hu to the Cast:

Saul Rubinek: I guess I’m the one who worked with her most at the very beginning because she was brought in not only to run the bed and breakfast, but also in order – and I think you find this out fairly quickly, and I’m not sure when you’re printing this, but to help Artie. And she’s going to – she has the ability to help other people and not just Artie.

Aaron Ashmore: Yes. I got a chance to work with her a little bit kind of further down, and I think that she brings – I mean, she’s sort of playing a – you know, a therapist.
And, I think she just kind of has this energy that’s sort of different from anybody else in the show as well. I think that that is an interesting kind of take. She’s so – there’s just something really, really warm about her. Not that other people aren’t warm, but there’s just something kind of very different about her energy that I thought was really interesting.

Character Trails They Suggested:

Allison Scagliotti: For me it was music. I – it was important to me because it’s such a big part of my life playing guitar and singing that – you know, we add this sort of artistic element to a hacker.

Saul Rubinek: Music for me at the very beginning because I wanted to play some classical piano on it. And also, you know, I decided to tell the universe that I’m really not, you know, Scottish. I’m Jewish. So I wanted that to be a part of the character for the very first time in my career.

Aaron Ashmore: I can tell you some things that I took away from the character, because originally he was a martial arts expert, and I was like, “No. I don’t think I’m going to be able to do that you guys, so that’s not going to work.”

You can catch all new episodes of Warehouse 13 Monday nights at 10/9c on Syfy.
