Dana Delany has a thing for dead bodies.
In researching her new role as a medical examiner on the new Citytv show "Body Of Proof" Delany watched numerous autopsies, but says she hasn’t completely got the hang of the whole doctor thing.
“I went and observed four different autopsies which I loved -- it was fascinating. That part is easy because I like the science. The hard part was the terminology because they’re just words that don’t make any sense to me,” Delany said in an exclusive interview with CityNews.ca.
Delany plays Megan Hunt, a doctor whose life is turned upside down by a tragic accident. She’s forced to navigate a new job and difficult family relationships.
The show premieres Tuesday March 29 at 10pm on Citytv.
As part of the interview, Delany spoke about how the show centers around a life-changing event; the vast amount of medical terminology required in the role, her interaction with the cast and whether it has made her view doctors in a different way.
Delany says there’s “a procedural aspect” to every episode: “We’ll have a mystery, and a different body and you’ll find out how that person died. But more than that we also have a lot of humour in the show, and we have a family drama aspect too.”
