"As British actress Naoko Mori ticks off items on her 'bucket list' of things to do before she dies, she’s grateful for her role on the sci-fi thriller 'Torchwood.' 'I think it’s pretty much been one of the best jobs I’ve ever done insofar as it’s ticked so many boxes for me,' she told me this week via telephone from her London home. 'It’s not just sci fi ... It’s like, 'run around in the rain chasing aliens in heels—tick,' 'shoot a gun while trying to do this—tick.'' ... Mori plays Torchwood team member Toshiko Sato, which concludes its second season at 8 p.m. Saturday on BBC America. ... I won’t spoil anything for fans, but suffice to say, you will be surprised by the episode. ...
Are you geeky in real life?
Exactly. [Laughs.] I am a geek in real life. Hmm, maybe someone’s trying to tell me something.
Can you build a sonic booster or whatever that thing was?
No, I can’t do that, but I can build flat pack furniture. Actually that’s one thing I’ve always liked—I am actually a geek. I built my first vending machine when I was 8-years-old for no reason whatsoever—as you do, you just build a vending machine. I think it dispensed tissues, like little packs of tissues. And I made it all from cardboard and wood. I don’t know why I built a vending machine.
And it worked?
It worked, but the only problem was it was exact amount only. It wouldn’t dispense change. I couldn’t work that out. It was all manual. How sad is that that I built a vending machine when I was eight?
