Los Angeles, March 29. Hollywood actress Alison Brie loved digging the claws into her character for ‘Masters of the Universe’.

She told USA Today, “I watched a bunch of the old cartoon, and she really is like a classic femme fatale character, but with a sense of humor. Just unlike anything I’ve ever really done”.
With her breakout roles as Trudy Campbell on Mad Men and Annie Edison on Community, bringing a cartoon super vixen to life was a fun departure. “A lot of the work that I’ve done, everything is about reality”, she shared.
From Trudy Campbell to Evil-Lyn
Brie said “the whole point” of the latest Masters of the Universe “is that everybody is larger than life, some people physically, this character more just in her evilness. It was so fun to work on, and the cast is great”.
