So it’s complicated.ĭo you know if Vivian was based on an actual person? I think that anyone who has that quality about them, it’s a very personal thing, and it puts a point on why certain people have that component to their personalities. But I think it’s the kind of thing where week-after-week and month-after-month, the more she got into it and the more she became immersed in that mission, it became her identity and her sole singular purpose in her life. There was little I had to go off of in the actual script other than I knew that she had a college roommate who had lost a father and brother on 9/11 so that was an initial sort of trigger for her. So, as an actor, you kind of have to get in there and do your own sort of detective work, in a way, to figure out why you think that person would be so driven to be committed to it. It is a much more fact-based exploration of the event.

KATHLEEN: In a movie like this, the movie explores the event and is not really about the backstories of the characters or how they got to be where they are.
What would you describe is the one thing that really drives Vivian? It has a very clear objective and a clear want, which as an actor is always nice. My character in the film, Vivian Hollins, she’s with the CIA as a counter-intelligence analyst and she’s the only female in the film, so it was appealing and interesting to sort of be the voice of the female point of view in the film. So, for me, that was really, really fascinating. It’s a historic event that we all feel that we know a lot about, but we don’t really know much about the days, the hours, and the weeks leading up to it and the actual execution of the raid - how it actually happened. It was something I was really fascinated by - the script really detailed and gives you a very clear idea of how the events unfolded in a way that I personally wasn’t aware of. KATHLEEN: SEAL TEAM SIX is the first full-length feature film about the raid on Osama Bin Laden, and that in and of itself was obviously a huge draw for me. So what drew you to SEAL TEAM SIX and the role of Vivian? Kathleen portrays CIA analyst Vivian Hollins, a fictional character created to shed light on how the CIA maneuvered to capture the most-wanted man on the planet: Osama Bin Laden. In a recent exclusive interview, co-star Kathleen Robertson talked about her role in the film and what drew her to be a part of such an epic story.
