Conlin Interview
Michaela Conlin talks about her character Angela on Bones at the 100th episode celebration. She never believed that the show would go this far from the pilot, especially in the climate today. She believes her character hasn't changed a whole lot since the beginning of the series and has a wild, bold side and that she is sexually confident. David Boreanaz interrupts the interview by smashing cake in his boss' face.
