Maia : The cutest one
I think, all of you will agree that, of all the characters in ‘The 4400‘, Maia Skouris was the cutest one. The Canadian actress, Conchita Campbell, gave a brilliant performance and I wonder how they made a thirteen year old girl act so wonderfully. Her role in the series was very well etched for the forty two episodes she performed.
Although, she is often referred as Maia Skouris, her real name in the series is Maia Rutledge. Maia is just ten years old when she is abducted by the people from the future. Bestowed with the power to foresee the future, she is extremely valuable to the government authorities, who torture her brutally for the sake of experiments. These episodes of season one, literally brings tears to our eyes.
I also recall here, the moments of the second season, where Diana Skouris, the beautiful heroine of this series, adopts this little girl. The bonding, the attachment between the two, is so moving, it reminds me of my sister, and her daughter.
And of course, who can forget the friendships she shared with Amy and Tyler. It is said that Maia is the ‘savior of humanity’. She plays a very important role in Jordan Collier’s plan to save the world.
It’s true that Conchita gave a scintillating performance, but she really didn’t go very far in the acting world. Her Wikipedia page is very sparse and ‘Scary Movie 4′ is the only movie, I guess she has signed.
Let’s hope we see more of her and also enjoy her acting in the videos of ‘The 4400′.
