“True Detective” is job of lifetime: Rachel McAdams

She plays Detective Ani Bezzerides—a hard drinkin’, hard gamblin’, cigarette smokin’ Ventura county cop trying to solve a grisly murder, reported Marie Claire magazine.

“I love that she’s not the girlfriend or the wife. She doesn’t really care what everyone thinks, she feels no responsibility for other people’s feelings. She’s not trying to be charming, which isn’t always the case with a leading lady.

There’s (usually) sort of a responsibility to be a little bit likeable. Not that you want to be a horrendous character, just a little more human,” the actress said.

When asked what kind of character she likes to play, McAdams said, “I prefer to be a villainess. The re’s something a bit more delicious about their wickedness.”
