'Alita: Battle Angel' star Rosa Salazar once again finds herself in animated form for the groundbreaking Amazon comedy from BoJackHorseman writers Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy
The series uses a technique called rotoscoping, where animators draw over live-action footage to create realistic motion, resulting in intricately drawn animated replicas of the actors. Salazar said that it's an accident that she's cornered the market on these projects — noting she has live-action movies coming down the pipeline soon — but likes that she gets to clone herself and spread into other dimensions through her characters.
"It's funny that the things I'm most well-known for are animated versions of myself and I love it," Salazar told. "It gives me a level of anonymity so far in my career, but I've never looked so much like myself as I do increator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and writer Kate Purdy, follows Alma , a woman looking for meaning in her life who finds herself able to time travel and speak with her dead father after a car crash.

"There's a lot of Latinx people out there, including myself, who don't really see themselves in either world — it's kind of this in-between — so I'm very proud to be part of a show that is about representing these three women," Cabral said. 's unique shooting experience, which included working black box theater-style in a plain room with no props, no wardrobe and no sets, and filming a rapid 12 hours a day.
"You want to be used, you don't want to just sit and putz around on your phone," she added of time spent on set. "I remember calling my agent and saying, 'I just want to do something where I feel like I'm contributing at every moment, I don't want to sit around and eat Cheetos, I want to be used.' And they used me." , which also stars Daveed Diggs and Siddarth Dhananjay and marks Amazon's first half-hour animated show, starts streaming Sept. 13.
