Ayelet Zurer has built a career playing women who understand power. Whether she is navigating crime empires, ancient kingdoms, political systems, or personal relationships, the actress knows how to build strong female characters in nuanced, male-dominated worlds.
Zurer spoke with Awards Buzz’s Sari Cohen, opening up about stepping back into the world of Vanessa Fisk for Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again while also portraying Queen Ahinoam in House of David. From the fascinating duality between these two women to working alongside Vincent D’Onofrio, Zurer dives deep into her process behind character development and her journey as an actress.
