I Am Piggy Chops Profiling Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra is charismatic but diplomatic; you feel that she’s paying careful attention to you even when she’s the one talking. Her manager calls this “an international swag,” while the head of casting at ABC calls it “star quality.” It’s there in Quantico, too, with Chopra playing Alex Parrish, an F.B.I. recruit whose “I’m better than anyone else” confidence leads Chopra to call her “a female Jason Bourne.” The pilot, which airs on ABC Sunday night, is promising, part “spies go to college” flashbacks and part suspenseful fugitive story with a meaningful subversion: a brown woman on the run to clear her name after being wrongly accused of terrorism.
