Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Stephanie Beatriz Nearly Killed This Marvel Star

Fortunately, Stephanie Beatriz managed to avoid a mistake that would have tragically added Anthony Mackie to the sad list of actors who died on set. Instead, Beatriz — who also currently voices longtime Batman foe and Harleen Quinzel’s current significant other on Max’s animated «Harley Quinn» series — was able to let loose while filming «Twisted Metal.»

A big part of the fun, Beatriz noted, was amping up the friction between her character, Quiet, and Mackie’s John Doe. «We both enjoyed getting each other’s goat,» the actor told NBC. «Like, in real life, that’s for sure, but I think we brought it and focused it and narrowed it down into the relationship between these two very antagonistic characters who are also forced to team up inside this post-apocalyptic, chaotic, ridiculous world.»

Measuring up her real-life self against Quiet, Beatriz said she’s much different from her on-screen counterpart. «I’m not nearly as badass as Quiet is … I don’t know about that part of it,» Beatriz told NBC. «[I have] the goofiness, yes, though.»
