Actress Stana Katic, who played Corinne Veneau (the latest duped girlfriend of villain Yusef) in "Quantum of Solace", spoke briefly about her close encounter with 007 to Hollywood Interview.

You got to be a Bond girl, albeit briefly, in the latest installment of the series, Quantum of Solace. What was that like?
It was a blast! I really wanted to be a part of that film, and was up for the role of Strawberry Fields originally, but they felt I wasnât right for it, plus I didnât want to play someone who got killed, and everyone gets killed in that bloody movie! (laughs)

But I got to spend three days working on that legendary sound stage in London. Daniel Craig was great, very funny, very charming. And Marc Forster was an amazing director. Weâve become friends and he has such an amazing, light touch as a director, and at the same time, has this incredible core strength, which is a great combination for a director to have.

In many ways he reminds me of the way Johnny Depp played the character of Sir James Matthew Barrie in Finding Neverland. I wonder if Johnny modeled his performance after Marc.
