>> Kim dickens stars alongside
rosario datsun in "Briarpatch."
>> That's going to be fun.
She don't take no stuff off
anybody.
>> It's like the greatest role I
ever played, probably the most
fun I ever had.
>> You played a cop a few times.
>> Yeah, I'm back in law
enforcement.
>> I like it.
You play a strong woman.
Great roles, right?
>> No, yeah, law enforcement is
fun.
I played an FBI agent in a
series a long time ago called
"Big apple" and then "Gone
girl."
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Different kind of law
enforcement there.
>> And in some of the other
roles you played like the steely
strong.
This one, she's popping off
everybody.
>> Oh, yeah, she's
boot-stomping, hard drinking.
>> Right.
>> Tight Jean wearing chief of
police.
>> Is this character personal?
>> I might have worn some tight
jeans.
It could have happened.
>> There you go.
>> I heard you recently got to
work with another strong woman,
robin Wright.
>> I love her too.
We first workedogether on
"House of cards."
And now robin is directing
her -- yeah, I think I can say
this.
It's been in the press.
She's directing her debut called
"Land" and starring in it.
I'm doing that with her.
>> Nice.
How is she as director?
>> Oh, she's fabulous, born to
do it.
She starred in "House of cards"
but she directed very often.
I was such a fan of hers when I
met her on set.
She was directing that episode
and I was about to have a sex
scene with Paul sparks'
character.
So I met my idol --
>> Nice to meet you.
Can I see you naked.
>> Now I'm naked doing a bunch
of positions.
>> How does one prepare for that
kind of situation?
You don't.
You just have to jump in.
It's one of those courageous
actor things.
>> I want to talk about like we
hit on in a little bit, "Lost,"
"Sons of anarchy," "Deadwood"
you have picked incredible roles
and great projects.
That that always been the
intention or did you just look
up and it happened to happen
that way.
>> You said the word picked.
If only I could just pick them.
But --
>> They picked you.
>> Yeah, I was fortunate enough
to be picked.
I mostly just put my head down,
do the work.
The worker bee.
But when I get interviewed
sometimes people will say, wow,
and go down the list.
I'm always full of gratitude for
it but it does stop me in my
tracks a moment.
>> "Deadwood" was one of those
shows that fans lost it over.
And when it went away
originally, everybody was kind
of like --
>> I was one of them.
I loved it.
>> It was great.
>> When is it coming back?
How is it coming back?
>> It took us like 12 years to
come back.
For years it would be like oh,
yeah, we hear maybe it's coming
back.
Maybe it is.
Then no, definitely not.
Not ever.
Everybody lose my number.
It's not happening.
>> Get out of here.
>> It was terrible.
It would be so heartbreaking at
times.
All of a sudden, there it was.
>> What was it like reuniting
with your co-stars?
>> It was like a dream.
It was.
We were on tears on a daily
basis to be together.
Look at us, troublemakers.
>> I was going to say, who was
the trouble maker?
>> I feel like it might be all
three of us.
>> I was going to say.
Doesn't that just look like a
picture for trouble?
>> We were having fun.
It was a dream walking around
together.
And at the same time we knew it
was just fleeting because it was
about six weeks we did it.
>> But you got to put a bubble
on it.
So many great projects because
people thought your character in
"Fear the walking dead" sort of
had an ambiguous fate.
Did she survive?
Didn't she?
Are we going to see her back?
What's the deal?
>> Yeah, I know.
I think -- I think fans are
still upset about it at times.
I don't know.
That's the nature of genre
though.
You can be gone like that.
You can also pop up sometimes at
any time --
>> If sharp alive.
>> If sharp.
>> What would have been the
thing if you had to pitch the
scenario.
>> She would have scurried up
that wall like nobody's
business.
She had kids on the other side
of that wall.
She was going to go get them.
>> She's going to get the kids.
>> Quickly, is there a set you
laughed the most on, a set that
you worked on that you laughed
the most on?
>> Yeah, we usually -- we
laughed a lot on "Fear."
We did.
Believe it or not.
>> Running after zombies.
>> You got to laugh at that.
