In “Missing,” Judd plays Becca Winstone, who lost her CIA-agent husband, played by Sean Bean (the former “Game of Thrones” star will be seen in flashbacks throughout the season), 10 years ago in a mysterious explosion.
When her college-age son goes missing in Europe, Becca — who, we quickly learn, was also a high-level CIA operative — travels the continent to find him, battling all manner of violent attacking fiends along the way.
Judd, 43, says she has rejected plenty of television work, but the show’s stunt factor was part of what brought her aboard. “I love to fight, and I’m really good at it,” says Judd. “I think it has to do with the Vinyasa yoga practice I have, where there’s a lot of slow sequences, and a lot of energy that moves in ways similar to fighting.
To tap into that fierce goddess energy is really, really fun.” While Judd’s experiences in yoga, and in her many films, helped her prepare for the stunt work, it also didn’t hurt that her husband is two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti.
“We do a Vespa chase scene [in the pilot],” says Judd. “I said, ‘OK babe, I’m gonna be riding a Vespa.’ And he reminded me of the ways in which it’s different from a motorbike: the steering is different, the breaking is different, the center of gravity. I wanna make sure I’m careful and do it right, so he doesn’t groan when he watches it.”
