Stana is a national treasure to the world. I love her so much.

[@kellymccain3403]

Yes, she is!!......... I read that the big bosses at ABC fired her from her network T.V. show " Castle" a few years back.......while I was listening to her talk I could not help but notice that this is just a wonderful human being inside and out.....what kind of heartless jerk would fire HER??

[@lisadykes4633]

Me too

[@dahhous1575]

@@kellymccain3403 look at how Stana Katic has spread her talented wings and flown since being fired. In a backhanded kind of way, the ABC suits ignorance and blind-sidedness might have been a catalyst to Stana Katic being able to find roles such as Emily Byrne and begin her journey behind the camera.

[@JTR253]

She is a nobody 😂

[@joannhawkins6781]

The story line of Absentia is so thrilling and dramatic. I just love all of the characters. Stana Katic is outstanding, as this being her show and being Executive Producer is fantastic. I am giving this show a standing ovation.

[@dahhous1575]

Joann Hawkins, you said it.

[@maxmavrick7]

Oh.. i miss castle so much 😟

[@imjustyouraveragegirlfromb956]

She seems so much happier in this than castle. That makes me smile ❤️

[@littlestepprints4911]

She is so real and honest. Just love this!

[@StoicPhilosopher1953]

Stana Katic is such a classy lady. Love her❤️

[@NuhaMj]

Stana is just too perfect. Wow

[@catherineboeckmann853]

[@nvadqs]

Nice interview! Loved the questions! She is such a class-act

[@carolj9463]

Wonderful interview. Wonderful show. Now off to binge Absentia 2.

[@pribsa]

She is such a beautiful gem!

[@mariewilk1]

Can hardly wait for season 3 to begin!

[@paula4712]

Stana is absolutely gorgeous. And those legs. Wow...

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

[@tototimthe1868]

Stana my best actor ever...much love from 254

[@stefanijakrivaja6068]

Yes

[@flyatthesun]

I just love her voice

[@reberods]

The end of season 2 🤯

[@hameley12]

Excellent TV series, cast, script writers, and other creatives! In the last question, I would have added that there is also Amanda Tapping, who went from actress to director. And has made great short films. I just wish she had been added to This Changes Everything directed by Tom Donahue and is streaming on Netflix. The documentary goes deep into the filming industry and gender disparity in Hollywood. Although, I'm happy the Absentia team chose Bulgaria to film. The atmosphere and colors chosen for each scene, and for each character's personality. Chef's kiss! 🎥 😘

[@nuriamiro6461]

Ist posible 4 season ABSENTIA?? Please. THANKS

[@gautamkumar007]

Captain Katherine... I missed you so much ! Just because of the end of that character, I m searching u on Utube. I m sad !

[@mariaalmeida3956]

Adorei ver Stana katic, a entrevista foi maravilhosa sempre simpática o sorriso cativa deviam mais estações tv a convidar Stana adorei vejam Absentia é uma grande série de Stana sou uma Grande fã de Stana katic portuguesa 🇵🇹🇵🇹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌼🌼⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👑

[@AntonyC83]

Good Lord, she’s stunning 😍

[@AG-tj8ew]

Interesting explanation as to how she saw being #1 on the call sheet as being a responsibility. I remember seeing an interview with NF re Castle and he seemed to believe that being #1 on the call sheet meant it was all about him.

[@poozizzle]

The difference between men and women. Generally.

[@sarahjames927]

That attitude caused problems on the set of Castle.

[@Buffy8Fan]

@@sarahjames927 They were minor problems that the internet is still blowing out of hand. All sets have these types of issues. The fact that people/fans/media/etc. only started talking of these "problems" after Castle was cancelled will always speak volumes of the true nature of what happened. Which was that it was a small thing that got blown wildly out of control with all the cancelation issues that happened fueling its flame.

[@youtubetrolls8541]

Can u send a link of that interview with nathan?

[@mariadelrosariocazaresband1663]

​@@dahhous1575 The best thing is that even Stana had less screen time than Nathan, she was the real star of this serie.

[@dcny69]

He's unbearable. She's stunningly beautiful.

[@glennyeagle6865]

Stanic was real great in Castle. They both Beckett and Castle had a great chemistry between each other and it was great. Glenn .

[@mariaalmeida3956]

Stana katic gostei de ver a entrevista FELICIDADE para projetos futuros e Absentia 🇵🇹👀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🍾🍾

[@Dave40Mi]

One of the most beautiful women in the world

[@stefanijakrivaja6068]

Yes

[@victoriafokina8702]

will there be a third season?

[@evypettit9812]

Yes, it was renewed for season 3.

[@zyzzyvacation]

She’s not unlike Julia Roberts, except Stana is actually hotter💋

[@mariewilk1]

and can act!

[@cspresimir]

@@mariewilk1 yes, definitely, she can act in a wide range.

[@malena3993]

Traducir al español, por favor

[@TrevorLloyd92]

My god! What a woman she is 😍

I like how he mentions her legs at 2:10.

[@abhyudaysingh2946]

Beautiful

[@waelgalal2864]

I love you sooo much ❤️

[@littlemouse7066]

How much the state of the world has worsened in five years If this show was made today it would be accused of toxic feminism and of being woke and it would be endlessly attacked on social media with the purpose to get it cancelled. anyway Katic was excellent in this I like this show a lot.

[@herbsu4330]

Why iws it shot in Bulgaria?

[@shaunduquette5992]

tax breaks,lol

[@AG-tj8ew]

Cheaper.

[@silentthriller]

Why not?

[@natascha7094]

Many movies and shows are filmed in eastern europe, it's cheaper. Some of the biggest movies out there weren't filmed in the US

[@sarahjames927]

Woman of my dreams 😍

[@marcocampus9089]

Bellissima attrice è molto brava , ma nella serie televisiva Castel a mio parere hanno fatto un errore enorme ! Da quando marito e moglie si chiamano per cognome , io non mai visto!….

[@deanlowdon8381]

Stana! 😍

[@ACE112ACE112]

Why is her voice so different from castle

[@thisisayoutubeaccount587]

well it has been a couple years

[@imjustyouraveragegirlfromb956]

Cause she changed her voice to sound for New Yorker in castle. ☺️

[@homebass3426]

Shes Canadian. Her accent is different in real life than when she is playing an American

[@johnnyhubbars9893]

Nice dress

[@mariellalienemann2821]

I love her jawline😂😂🥵❤

[@bradsyoutube]

Sweet Jews for Jesus, Stana is hot!!

[@АнгелинаМихайлова-ю2р]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bonilla2022]

Excellent interview. Production facility sucked. E.P. should have steped in.

[@eddiesutton6663]

Very disappointed in Stana Kalic for taking the Lords name in vain in Absentia. She didn’t do that in Castle.

[@theodorossidiropoulos1750]

STANA KATIC REPTILIAN .--LOOK EYES.

[@bobvogel2412]

Either a woman has great legs or she doesn't. No kinda sorta here. As you can see Stana definitely does. You think she knows? Why else would she wear a dress THAT short? Gotta love the sexy red heels too.

[@taotao98103]

She's not as pretty as she was back in Castle. I know it's long time ago, but I just watched it last night. I was admiring how pretty she was.

[@alanfrost75]

One of the biggest mysteries in this world is why on earth women (and actresses in particular) choose to wear these short, revealing skirts only to spend the entire time trying to find ways to cover themselves up and cross their legs like a contortionist.
