The SciFi Diner Classic Ep. 29

Our Interview with Laurie Holden

(The Walking Dead, The X-Files, The Majestic)

Download this episode now!

In our twenty-ninth episode of the SciFi Diner Classic, we interview Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead, The X-Files, The Majestic). This episode was recorded at Farpoint and the room noise does make the interview sound rough. Since we do a news and interview show, it goes without saying that the news portion of our episodes often date themselves fast. And while the interviews with the people that make Science Fiction happen remain relevant and in our opinion important, most listeners will not listen back 150 episodes and wade through old news just to get to the interview. So what the SciFi Diner Classic aims to do is to share these interviews with you. If you have been with us from the beginning, then bear with us as we introduce some of our newer listeners to voices from the past. We’re bringing you just the interview and nothing else.

Laurie Holden

Heather Laurie Holden (born December 17, 1969) is an American-Canadian actress and human rights activist. She is perhaps best known for her roles asMarita Covarrubias in The X-Files, Adele Stanton on The Majestic, Cybil Bennett in Silent Hill, Amanda Dumfries in The Mist, Olivia Murray in The Shield, andAndrea in The Walking Dead.

Early life and education

Her parents divorced, and her mother married director Michael Anderson. Her first role was on The Martian Chronicles (1980), when she played Rock Hudson’s daughter. After high school, Laurie attended McGill University, where she majored in economic investing. A graduate of U.C.L.A, she is a member of the National Honor Society and has been the recipient of the prestigious Natalie Wood Acting Award. She is currently enrolled at Columbia University where she is acquiring her Master of Human Rights degree.

Television and film career

Early in her career, Holden made a name for herself by costarring opposite Burt Reynolds in Physical Evidence (1989), Vanessa Redgrave in Young Catherine (1991) and William Shatner in the TV Movie TekWar: TekLab (1994). She played Mabel Dunham in the TV Movie The Pathfinder (1996) (based on the novel of James Fenimore Cooper). On stage, she starred in Time and the Conways, written by J. B.

After making various guest appearances on Due South, Murder, She Wrote and Poltergeist: The Legacy, Holden found some success playing a memorable recurring role on the seminal sci-fi series The X-Files, that of Marita Covarrubias, a mysterious government worker who becomes an informant to Special Agent Fox Mulder starting in the fourth season of that show through the final one (1996–2002).
