Road to The Emmys: Femmes push themselves with out-of-comfort-zone roles

To Kristen Bell it has always been important to explore a variety of characters, but after landing the role of ethically challenged Jeannie on “House of Lies,” her need to show diversity has now turned into a desire to just enjoy her work.

“Years ago, I was looking forward to playing someone like Jeannie, and now that I can, I don’t necessarily feel a need to show another side of myself in the off-season,” says Bell, whose upcoming films include “Hit and Run” with fiance Dax Shepard and Neil LaBute’s “Some Girl(s).”

“I probably will still wake up in the middle of the night with the sweats, thinking ‘I’m not only this. I need a new role.’ But at this moment, I feel like I’ve been able to explore things that I’m really enjoying, and I want to continue to do that.”
