Laura Prepon has no fear of tackling roles people might have preconceptions about.
The "That '70s Show" alum is about to do that twice: as forensic sculptor Eve Duncan in "The Killing Game," a Lifetime movie adaptation of an Iris Johansen best seller debuting Monday, Oct. 31; and as a doppelganger for comedian and E! talk-show host Chelsea Handler in the midseason NBC sitcom "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea."
Prepon took a similar gamble last season by embodying novelist Richard Castle's (Nathan Fillion) crime-fighting character Nikki Heat -- or, more specifically, an actress playing her -- in an episode of ABC's Monday drama "Castle."
"There was a lot of pressure on that one," Prepon tells Zap2it. "People love that show, and before I was even going to play it, everyone had an opinion of who should play Nikki Heat. People took it very seriously, and luckily, it turned out well.
