Most of the attention on “Dollhouse” has gone toward Eliza Dushku or Joss Whedon, or maybe even a little Tahmoh Penikett love. Enver Gjokaj, though, will play a major role in the show, shaping the lives of other characters. We caught up with him while he was in Italy hanging out.
Where’s the name ‘Enver Gjokaj’ from?
It’s a very common Albanian name. My father’s Albanian and my mom is from the States.
How did you get involved with “Dollhouse”?
I fell into it, as luck would have it. I got the [scripts] and they were unbelievable. I went in and auditioned for Joss, and he seemed completely unimpressed. and I walked out of the room convinced that he was never going to see me again. And things went well after that.
