I helped design the costume because I knew Meredith would be covered in blood while the costume might be sexy, the focus of the scene is the brutality and shows that you can fight your way out even in a cute halter top. One of my favourite scenes to film was the ‘Ghoul’ shoot-out scene. It really shows strength in the female characters. I don’t feel like there are ever moments where Doris uses sexuality to get what she wants instead, she uses calculative mind games and her smarts. How does the show move beyond the sexuality of female?Īll humans, not just women, are complex creations nobody is just completely good or completely bad.
#MADISON DAVENPORT SKIN#
She uses many different elements of herself to see underneath someone’s façade she’s very good at seeing what gets under people’s skin and using that to her advantage. She isn’t constantly leading with her sexuality, but it’s more of a self-defence mechanism.
Meredith is a chameleon she changes based on the situation. Meredith seems to be quite calculative, for example, in her ability to create illusion through dance and selling the illegal drug scratch how does she manage to get what she wants? There is a saying ‘better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’ that I really think applies to Meredith. Meredith wants that fatherly love from Burt but has stayed in that world because of loyalty and fear it’s really scary leaving behind everything you know for the unknown. I like to look at it as all of the above. Has she stayed so far because of controlling characters, a need for protection, or something else? Meredith is always seeing people in all different situations, and she uses those skills of being in a world like the Bang-A-Rang to try and find her way out.
She is very taken care for at the Bang-A-Rang but has this feeling that there is more. Meredith is always told that the Bang-A-Rang is her family, but she has an itch to explore a world she knows nothing about. Your character Meredith is naturally curious and there’s an element of her wanting to see outside the walls of her beginnings… how does this go down with the characters in the show? I’m so proud being part of a show that loves representing strong and sometimes weak female characters because that’s how real life is you have to have that mixture. The character pushed me so far outside of my comfort zone to be this confident, sexy, sensual woman but also very strong those are all things I love seeing in female characters. Meredith, my character, drew me to the show because she is so unexpected and whatever you think she should do or say, she definitely doesn’t do or say it.
It is all about a woman named Doris who was ‘murdered’ by her brother & his gang but, low and behold they didn’t kill her and now she is back for revenge. Reprisal is a femme-fatale revenge drama that truly is the story of vengeance and redemption. Your latest project is Hulu’s Reprisal… what is it about? What attracted you to the show? I do have a life goal to keep doing what I love and to keep focusing on the things that are truly important like health, wellness, and overall mental health. As for a New Year resolution, I’m not really big on resolutions because I feel like it is too easy to forget about them as the year goes on. Each character I’ve played is different and special to me. There are so many moments… I think my proudest moment was that I got to do what I love I got to be different characters and do everything I love about acting. What was your proudest moment of 2019 and what are your New Year resolutions? Strong influences from home and roles which push her to her limits have ensured Davenport is going nowhere and we caught up with her to discuss family, revenge and the connotations that come with being female. Davenport is enjoying a career which has spanned well over a decade it’s not just a job, it’s who she is and it runs through her veins and starring in a show which quite possibly could be the revenge show of the year is unsurprising with her talent and dedication to her craft. With calculative mind games and good old smarts, Davenport’s character is ripping up the rules. When you hear the words femme fatale it’s easy to associate this with seduction, but Madison Davenport, along with the writers of Reprisal, is turning this on its head.
