 “One for the Money” interview with Jason O’Mara and Daniel Sunjata

Jason O’Mara (“Terra Nova”) and Daniel Sunjata (“Grey’s Anatomy”) co-star with Katherine Heigl (who plays Stephanie Plum) in the upcoming “One for the Money” based on the popular book by Janet Evanovich. O’Mara stars as Joe Morelli and Sunjata plays Ranger. The film opens this Friday, January 27th.

In this interview, we talked about:

*** (To O’Mara) – What made him want to jump from the world of “Terra Nova” to the world of bail bonds in “One for the Money?”

*** (To Sunjata) – What attracted him to the character of Ranger?

*** Did they use the novel by Janet Evanovich as a starting point for their characters?

*** Working with Katherine Heigl?

*** What else did they learn in exploring their characters that they did not learn from watching “Dog the Bounty Hunter?”

Have fun!

Synopsis

A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum's got plenty of attitude, even if she's been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company as a recovery agent. True, she doesn't even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn't stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli - yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school. Nabbing Morelli would be a satisfying payback - and a hefty payday - but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who is the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn't airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all those flying sparks when she finds Morelli himself. Suddenly Stephanie's new job isn't nearly as easy as she thought.
