Sarah Shahi Shares CBS’ Person of Interest Exclusive Photos

Sarah Shahi might call herself “that chick from that show” in her Twitter bio, but she’s pulling the curtain back on her life for us here at Glamour. Shahi plays Shaw, a lethal operative left for dead by the government on CBS’ Person of Interest, which premieres its third season tonight at 10/9C.

“Our wonderful director, Helen Shaver. She’s strong, talented, and takes no BS from anyone. As women, we should inspire to be like this always!”

“Amy Acker and I spending some quality time together on this episode. I love her.”

“I love our camera department. Thought I’d try my hand at operating. I failed magnificently.”

“Kevin Chapman and I hamming it up in between takes. Love working with him. Love the whole cast.”

“Central Park. Jim [Caviezel] and I doing a scene here. I’m lucky I get to shoot in locations as beautiful as this.”

“In hair and makeup trailer. Ecstatic that I didn’t have to be there til 8 A.M.!”

“I am fortunate to play a character as dynamic as Shaw. Just because we are women doesn’t mean the only roles we can play are that of the finger-shaking girlfriend. She’s just as smart and tough as any guy out there.”

“My beauty brigade, Toy and Belinda. These ladies are fiercely talented, opinionated, and women to look up to.”

“My adorable costar Danielle. We are setting up for a CGI explosion in the background.”

“Welcome to my trailer! I just started putting up my Halloween decorations. I spend so much time here, it has to be festive and homey!”

Are you excited for the new season of Person of Interest? Tune in on CBS tonight!
