Messing with Amber Midthunder is serious business. A cocky Predator found that out the hard way in Hulu's hit movie "Prey," as did various foes facing her butt-kicking mutant in FX's "Legion." Even her character Rosa Ortecho is one big ball of rage over on The CW's "Roswell, New Mexico." Midthunder's 17-year-old self would've been so proud.
"When I started [acting], I really liked drama," Midthunder told Salon in a recent Zoom interview. "I thought that emulating and experiencing things that were as real as possible was really interesting to me. I was not super into theatrics or comedy or anything like that. I think when I first started, I'd really been chasing that transcendent feeling of actually experiencing a whole nother world and life."
