Lyndsy Fonseca, who plays Alex in Nikita, did an interview with Collider.com:

Question: What was your reaction to reading the Nikita pilot script and how was the audition process for you?
Lyndsy: It was during a very, very busy time in my auditioning world. I was doing three a day. The material is so intense and there was so much work to be done, it was hard. They put me through the ringer, for sure, but it was something that I worked really hard it. This is a character that does not come around in every script. I knew it was a little gem, so I worked hard. - Full Interview
