Dushku: 'Dollhouse part a dream role'

Eliza Dushku has described her character in Joss Whedon's upcoming series Dollhouse as an ideal role.

The actress told the Boston Globe that she values Whedon and has done well when she has followed the director-writer in the past.

Dushku's most famous role was bad girl Faith in Whedon's hit show Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

She said: "It's a dream role because I'm constantly changing and I'm constantly on the move. I'm a little ADD.

"The idea of being in the same costumes every day is a little conventional for me. So when Joss and I sat down to talk about what we could do, we just thought 'Let's do everything.'"

Dollhouse will see Dushku playing a woman called Echo, whose memory has been wiped by a secret group so that she and the other 'Dolls' can be imprinted with new personalities and hired for missions.

Last year, it emerged that television network Fox had interfered with the series as well as changing its scheduling, but Dusku defended the revised script.

The show premieres in the US tonight.
