Mimi Rogers has spent over four decades in the entertainment industry as an actress. Her film roles include Gung Ho, Someone to Watch Over Me, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and Lost in Space. She garnered much critical acclaim for her role in the religious drama The Rapture, with critic Robin Wood saying that she “gave one of the greatest performances in the history of the Hollywood cinema.”

Rogers portrayed civil rights attorney Honey “Money” Chandler for seven seasons on Bosch, a police procedural TV series produced by Amazon Studios and reprised her role on the spinoff series, Bosch: Legacy, which premiered on Amazon Freevee on May 6, 2022. Bosch: Legacy also stars Titus Welliver and Madison Lintz, and the series was renewed for a second season prior to its premiere. The season finale is May 27, 2022.

In a new interview with Smashing Interviews Magazine, Bosch: Legacy star Mimi Rogers reveals the show's behind-the-scenes secrets.

The following is that excerpt from the interview:

Smashing Interviews Magazine: Mimi, did you know before Bosch ended that you would be one of the stars of Bosch: Legacy?

Mimi Rogers: That’s pretty interesting because going in to season seven, Amazon let everybody know that was going to be the last season. The producers had called me before we started season seven and said, “It’s the last season, so we’re thinking of killing you. How do you feel about that?” (laughs) I was like, “Well, gosh. If it’s the last season, go ahead.” So that’s what I thought going into the last season. Then very early on in the shooting (not of me but the season), I was informed confidentially that this new show was in the works and that I was going to be one of the principal characters, in which case, I was not going to die in season seven.

I’d been reading the scripts that I get shot, and suddenly I’m in a medically-induced coma in the hospital. I’m like, “What’s going on, guys? Are you just going to drag it out and break everybody’s hearts in the end because I’ll die anyway?” That’s when they told me they had to make some changes just because we weren’t done. So I was stunned and incredibly happy and shed a few tears of joy. Then I had to keep a secret the whole rest of the season.

Smashing Interviews Magazine: Sometimes a secret like that can be very difficult to keep (laughs).

Mimi Rogers: I know. They told me Titus was the only other one who knew. So for the whole season, he knew that I knew, and I knew that he knew, and yet we never said a word to anyone or to each other. We just kept it secret.
