Mickaelle X. Bizet ('American Crime') reveals her 'spooky' casting was like 'The Twilight Zone'

Mickaelle X Bizet chats with Gold Derby senior editor Rob Licuria about her breakthrough role on 'American Crime.' She says the 'spooky' casting was like 'The Twilight Zone' because it was a character whose story bared some uncanny resemblances to her own background. In “American Crime,” the relative newcomer plays Gabrielle Durand, a troubled Haitian immigrant hired to work as a nanny for a wealthy family in North Carolina. As her story unfurls over the season, we discover that she is not only suffering from some trauma from her past, but is also the victim of horrifying physical and psychological abuse at the hands of the woman who hired her, played by Lili Taylor.
