Liv Hill's Favorite Part About Playing Catherine In The Serpent Queen Hits Way Too Close To Home

While Samantha Morton plays the older Catherine de Medici in "The Serpent Queen," Liv Hill plays the younger version, whose main focus is keeping one step ahead of everyone else, and overcoming the obstacles in her way. But Hill was surprised at how easily she could relate to Catherine. "She was always in a sense of alertness. And I feel like I really relate to that, even if I'm not trying to survive literally," Hill told Screen Rant. "But just in that she's reading people's body language [and] their facial expressions to see if she thinks they like her or whatever. And I'm kind of that person, unfortunately, as well and do a bit too much of an emphasis on what others perceive."

Hill may not be royalty fighting for power and recognition, but it's clear the actress knows a bit about observing her surroundings and the people around her. "This is what the writer wanted, to show her vulnerability and to show the fact she was a teenager," Hill told Express. "So I tried to draw on my angst and attitude that I had when I was a teenager, playing her." Based on the reviews of the first few episodes of "The Serpent Queen," Hill succeeded immensely.
