CraveOnline got a chance to chat with Rose McIver regarding her role in the upcoming show, iZombie at Comic-Con. She starts off by revealing how she was approached for the role, an ordeal that involved a Skype session and some unexpected phone calls while she was working on other projects. She was told to read the script for the pilot; she was familiar with the team at the helm of the TV show, so she felt more inclined to join up. Afterwards she goes on about role as the main character of the show, a zombified medical student.

IMDB does the best job of summarizing the plot of the upcoming show:
A medical student, who becomes a zombie, joins a Coroner’s Office in order to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat so that she can maintain her humanity. But for every brain she eats, she also inherits their memories and must now solve their deaths with help from the medical examiner and a police detective.
Rose McIver is a young twenty-something from New Zealand who is best known for a role in Power Rangers RPM. She entered the acting realm at a very young age, and was seen working commercials by the age of two. By three years of age, her first role was as an angel in the film Piano. She spent much of her time working for television in New Zealand, having recurring roles in Maddigan’s Quest, which was a fantasy, and other dramas like Rude Awakenings. In late 2009, she got her big screen debut in Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Lovely Bones.
