Интервью с Addison Timlin о Кали.

ONE OF THE hardest things for an actress in Hollywood is to transition from teen roles to adult roles. The parts for young women are either good girls or bad girls with little in between.

And once you get typecast as one or the other . . .

Throughout her teen years, Lansdale-born Addison Timlin was cast as an innocent. Now 19, she's trying to break those chains in a big way with a recurring role on what's likely the most depraved (but with a good heart) show on television - Showtime's "Californication" (Sundays, 9 p.m.).

Timlin guests as movie starlet Sasha Bingham, who hopes to play the lead in a movie based on an autobiographical book by bad-boy writer Hank Moody (David Duchovny). Her role would be based on former Hank lover Mia (Madeline Zima), who's the reason Hank has been charged with statutory rape.

In her research for the role, Sasha decides to bed Hank (a fairly common occurrence on "Californication.")

While Timlin's father stayed in our area, she grew up in Manhattan with a love of musical theater, eventually starring in "Gypsy" on Broadway opposite Bernadette Peters and in a touring company of "Annie."

A failed TV pilot, some series work and movie roles followed as Timlin finished high school in New York.

Hope took her to Hollywood, but she didn't officially move to L.A. until "Californication."

Timlin says that she went after the part of Sasha because she had played "very young, very sweet roles, and just the opportunity to audition was a big thrill.

"Now it's exciting to be viewed for more adult, more challenging roles."

Viewers met Sasha when she pulled up her shirt in a studio meeting to show off her . . . willingness to get naked for Hank's film.

"There are plenty of sex scenes and nudity," Timlin said of the series, now in its fourth season, "and it was nothing new to them.

"But it was plenty new to me.

"I played it very cool but I was very nervous."

Timlin said that the cast and crew of "Californication" are "aware of how gratuitous the nudity is but we had plenty of conversations about how to make me comfortable."

And working with Duchovny was a "dream come true."

"He's the best," she said, "very smart and funny, and he gives you so much freedom."
As for deciding at the age of 19 that she was willing to bare all, Timlin said, "I thought that if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it now."

Next up for the poised, thoughtful actress is a recently shot episode of the now-on-hiatus "Law & Order: Los Angeles," and then . . .

"I have no idea. 'Californication' has opened a lot of doors," she said. "I'd love to surprise people."
