London: Actress Kate Beckinsale says she took on her tough role in the hit Underworld franchise after she started to get typecast for "delicate" and "fragile" roles.
The 38-year-old beauty, who has played vampire warrior Selene since 2003 and the fourth installment 'Underworld: Awakening', said producers' opinion made her to take such roles, Daily Star reported.
"I'd had some feedback from casting directors kind of saying, 'We don't know if we really want to see her for this part, 'cause it's a cop, and she's really very delicate and British and fragile.'
"And I thought, 'I've got to do something about that. I've got to play something that has a little bit more edge toit'. I love this character (Selene). I really am proud of the fact that I've gotten to play this kind of rather iconic, empowered, empowering woman," she said.
