Linda Hamilton is an actress who portrays General Eleanor McCallister in the science fiction comedy series Resident Alien.
Linda Hamilton appears throughout all seasons of Resident Alien as this recurring antagonist, later turned possible ally, who is seeking Alan Tudyk's Harry Vanderspeigle character. The role was not originally scripted with Hamilton specifically in mind and, as such, the character was originally written to die in the first season finale "Heroes of Patience." This changed when Hamilton was cast for, as stated by showrunner Chris Sheridan, "You can't kill off Linda Hamilton."[1]
General overview[]
Prior to Resident Alien, Hamilton is best known for her role as Sarah Connor in the Terminator film franchise. She portrayed Catherine Chandler in the television series Beauty and the Beast (1987-1990), for which she was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy Award.
Behind the scenes[]
In an interview with Comic Book, Hamilton expressed a worry about her ability to keep up with the comic genius of show star Alan Tudyk, but conceded that her role is really more of the "straight man."[2] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hamilton discussed wearing Resident Alien merchandise, stating that she normally doesn't wear any merchandise associated with productions she appears in, but that she just has to in this case because she loves the program so much. She stated, however, that she does not actually watch completed episodes of the program as she does not enjoy seeing and hearing herself onscreen.[3]
