The actress, 38, star of “The Big Bang Theory” and nominated for an Emmy, was visiting La Antigua Guatemala and shared with Publinews in an interview at the Porta Hotel, about why she decided to visit the country, her professional career and personal note on how it changed her life.
Walking through the streets of Antigua (Guatemala) always brings some surprises, like finding a TV star like Mayim Bialik, who works on the television series “The Big Bang Theory” and this year was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Actress cast in the role of Amy Farrah Fowler.
“Amy has a bit of me, or rather several things. It is not difficult to interpret that role because some characteristics that I have as Mayim I lend to Amy and the combination is what makes it fun and serious at the same time,” she shares about her role in the series. “I’m a bit nerdy and yet I’m a geek, you have to know both to play Amy,” she adds.
Bialik in both her personal and professional lives has a PhD in neuroscience but she is also an author of two books, and is one of the few actresses who has grown up with a generation through the television screen. We followed her adolescent stage in the nineties when she starred as Blossom Russo. “It was a long series that marked my career. Besides being one of the roles that opened the door to the world for me, it also made me think about what I wanted in my life, “, she shares.
The role of celebrity is something few would want to take on, but Bialik did want to leave that life aside, and focus more on her personal life. “Maintaining a public figure is difficult, but that’s why I wanted to study in college, because I wanted to have a normal life. I did not know if I would return to work in acting, many things had changed in my life, “she adds. “It got to the point of deciding what I wanted and looked for a professional career. I obtained a PhD in neuroscience and I dedicated myself to research and education for a while, “she adds.
But everything has its sacrifice and the doctorate brought her more disadvantages than advantages in her personal life. “I returned to acting mainly for my children. Research and education will take lots of time, and I wanted to spend that time with them, while they were in the growing stage, so I decided to leave and return to the TV, “she explains. “It’s amazing to be in a TV show, but it’s better you get a chance to return to another successful program after having children and getting a doctorate, is a great opportunity and I feel blessed,” shares the actress.
Bialik decided to visit Guatemala for all that the country hides. “I’m not a beach person, I like a historical places with an abundance of architecture. She knew something of Guatemala, but finding this place surrounded by volcanoes was the right place for a holiday, “she says.
