Falco plays one ofThe Way of Water’s villains, General Ardmore.

It’s a critical role, but for Falco, that role stops when the camera stops rolling.

“Then I’m onto the next thing.

I have no idea what happens to things after I’m done.”

“I am a dolt,” she joked.

Falco has been acting in films and television since the late 1980s.

At this point in her career, “I love the part of doing it,” she said.

“The part of watching, it has nothing to do with me.”

She continued, “Things can come out or they don’t.

They do well or they disappear.

They go straight to video or nobody finishes.

I have no idea ‘cause it often doesn’t affect my life in any way.

My part of what I do is done.”

It sounds like all those phone calls had their intended effect; this one she’ll probably watch.
