@conditionofreturn: AnnaLynne McCord Hopes Portraying a Mass Shooter in ‘Condition of Return’ ‘Gets People Talking’ (an @usweekly exclusive) In the drama, McCord stars as Eve, a churchgoing woman who carries out a mass shooting after making a deal with the devil. Though the nature of the film is “really heavy,” McCord admits she was inspired to participate in the film — which also stars Dean Cain and Natasha Henstridge — because it serves a bigger purpose. “Right now, it’s going on in our world — we’re dealing with mass shootings,” McCord explains. “Films are supposed to be fun and entertaining, [but] we have to do relevant films to talk about these issues because these things are happening.” As an actress, McCord had to look past forming her own opinions about Eve. “To play a villain, you cannot judge your character,” the Nip/Tuck actress shares. “Playing villains my entire career, I’ve learned one thing: They don’t exist. People do good things and bad things, and sometimes those bad things are horrible.” Dealing with her own mental health struggles made McCord want to humanize her character for the audience. “That’s something that I care about deeply,” she tells Us. “I’ve dealt with suicidality. I’ve talked a lot about my mental health journey. I’m very open about it and I’ve got to bring light to it.” Though portraying a woman committing a heinous crime wasn’t McCord’s easiest role to date — “It was really dark to be inside of her,” she admits — McCord was able to leave the character behind when cameras went down.
