One, she&#8217;s much more powerful as a woman. The reason being that Bruiser \u2014 in the novel \u2014 is super, super shady and questionable,&#8221; she told <em>Us<\/em>. &#8220;In the movie version, Mickey Rourke portrays Bruiser, and that character is present in the beginning, but then goes on vacation and escapes to the Caribbean.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/fall-tv-preview-2025-top-120046238.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fall TV Preview 2025: The Top New and Returning Shows, From \u2018Nobody Wants This\u2019 to \u2018Boston Blue\u2019;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Fall TV Preview 2025: The Top New and Returning Shows, From \u2018Nobody Wants This\u2019 to \u2018Boston Blue\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After watching the movie, Parrilla was looking forward to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/rainmaker-lana-parrilla-explains-why-124601672.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:exploring the character more.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">exploring the character more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Rudy has multiple maternal figures [on the show], but Bruiser is the one who comes from a place of tough love. She&#8217;s like his coach and his mentor, who&#8217;s really pushing him to think outside of the box,&#8221; she noted. &#8220;She really has this great relationship with Rudy that I don&#8217;t think this character would have if Bruiser was male. It just would&#8217;ve been a battle of egos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Parrilla continued: &#8220;I feel like she&#8217;s much more effective as a woman and her influence with Rudy \u2014 but also in a courtroom. She&#8217;s a smart, sassy and ballsy woman who has a lot of street smarts and grit to her. She&#8217;s a much more interesting version of Bruiser. Everyone&#8217;s version is great, but I really just love that this character gets to be a woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>The Rainmaker<\/em> airs on USA Network Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rainmaker keeps introducing twists and turns \u2014 and fans can expect the same level of surprise in the upcoming finale.
