Rochelle Aytes is no stranger to working alongside S. Nichelle was born and raised in an upper middle-class neighborhood in Baldwin Hills but developed a desire to give back and help those with fewer resources. She runs a neighborhood community center in South L.
CBS Local's Matt Weiss spoke to Aytes about reuniting with her former on-screen husband and where she sees this character going in the future. MW: Doing well, super excited to talk to you today, I would love to hear your thoughts about being a part of S.
RA: Oh honestly I'm super excited to be a part of it. It's been quite a few years since I worked with Shemar and when I got the call that I got this job, I was just so excited to be working with him again. MW: You were husband and wife on Criminal Minds , now you're back together.
What's it like to come on set and already have that chemistry with someone? RA: You know the work is easy and fun, there's just a sense of comfort there and we just know each other. I think it was just 'ok let's do this' kind of get right back into where we left off. MW: Obviously you two are very familiar with each other, what about the rest of your cast mates, what's your experience been like meeting everyone else in the cast and the crew? RA: I actually haven't met too many cast members.
My scenes so far have only been with Shemar, but the directors are great, the crew, everyone there just seems to have a lot of fun and they're relaxed, but they get the work done. They make me feel really at home. MW: That's great, that's so great to hear. I want to talk to you about your character a little bit now, Nichelle. She seems like a very strong, a very charitable woman, runs a neighborhood community center in South LA, what can you tell us about Nichelle?
