FBI: Internationalfans are about to learn a lot more about their good pal Smitty.
I graduated from drama school when I was 29, and had some nice roles over the years.
But there were a few ups and downs.
Eva-Jane Willis as Europol Agent Megan “Smitty” Garretson.Stefano Montesi/CBS
I was living the life of a struggling actor.
It was tough to keep my head above water and and make ends meet.
This time last year, I had come to the decision that I wasnt going to act anymore.
Ive got to have some stability in my life.
While this decision was being made, I was also planning my wedding.
I had a real feeling on that day that this was my new life.
Time to put this silly dream behind us and begin our lives as two serious individuals!
I told Jimmy to F- off in the nicest possible way.
I cant really think about this right now because weve gotta do speeches and stuff!
Watch on Deadline
DEADLINE My God.
But Im sure you were still thinking about it.
WILLISAbsolutely, yes, I was.
I said to Jimmy, when is this due?
Part of me thought,Im never gonna get this.
Its a dream job.
Its literally an international show.
So I probably spent less time on this tape, actually, than Ive ever spent in my life.
My husband literally did it on my iPhone.
They welcomed me straight away into their family.
Theyd already done one season and I was the newcomer for the second.
Im still in sort of a half-state of disbelief where Im constantly saying to Jimmy, are they sure?
DEADLINE Was it easy to settle into the role of Smitty?
How was she described to you at the beginning?
I have this constant ponytail when Im being serious.
And then every time we go to the bar, my hair comes down.
I think as the only Brit in the show, I get away with a lot.
DEADLINE What can we expect from tonights episode?
WILLISWe will meet my brother who is involved in a bit of a scandal.
Shes always had to be there for them and get him out of trouble.
Its always been really professional for Smitty up until now and suddenly it gets personal.
It changes Smitty going into season three.
FBI: Internationalairs at 9 p.m.
