Eliza Dushku
by Scott Tobias February 27, 2009

Eliza Dushku was in her early teens when she started appearing in movies like 1993’s This Boy’s Life and 1994’s True Lies, but her nascent Hollywood career took off when Joss Whedon cast her as brash bad-girl Faith in his cult TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer. In the years since, Dushku took prominent roles in Bring It On, City By The Sea, and the horror vehicle Wrong Turn, and she appeared for two seasons in the title role in the Fox science-fiction show Tru Calling. Now, Dushku has reunited with Whedon for the new Fox series Dollhouse, about an underground operation where “actives” can be imprinted with personalities and abilities that suit a client’s needs. Dushku plays an “active” named Echo who’s ostensibly a blank slate, but who’s haunted by stray memories and impulses that didn’t get erased. (It’s sort of a cross between Alias and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.) Two weeks into the show’s run, Dushku talked to The A.V. Club about the challenge of playing dozens of personalities, the cult of Whedon, Fox’s tinkering, and why viewers should wait for the show to hit its stride.
