Speaking about her role on “The Orville,” Anne Winters said her character Charly Burke is “very different from anything I’ve ever done.” The character is a skilled navigator who can visualize in multiple dimensions, and Winters was excited by the challenge of playing a role that’s so different. She added that she also wanted to put her best foot forward with the cast because, as she explained, “It’s always hard to come on to a cast that has done two seasons together and you don’t know anybody, and you’re the only new person.” So, Winters did her best to prepare for the part before coming on set. “I did as much studying on YouTube as I could for fourth-dimensional physics and mathematics. I got the tip of the iceberg of that. Hopefully, I was able to portray what I studied,” she said.
Winters’ costar, Jessica Szohr, assured the actress that her work had paid off. “[Anne] came on as if she was a part of the show from the beginning — so professional, she kills it with the character, how she brought her to life,” Szohr said. “She made it seem so flawless and effortless, and knowing that she put so much work behind it … A lot of times, [that’s] why actors who are as good as she is make it look so effortless, because they do all the work before.”
