The first thing I read was of my character on the phone talking to Sydney's fiance. Though short, it was so beautifully written, and it made me laugh. I thought if I wanted to play a character, this would be it.
One day, we were doing a serious scene and fast talking like we do and we could not stop laughing and the director had to stop the production. We had to go to our trailer and calm down and do it all again.
I remember the first reading of the script we had and everybody was sitting around the table. I was very impressed with the level of acting that was in the room, particularly with Jennifer who has so much responsibility.
You have to find something there that relates to the characters and reality on some level.
It's about these people who are inextricably together for whatever reasons, and they happen to be in the spy world. It's about relationships, and the bottom line is, that's why you care.
Sometimes his methods are questionable, and even his morals are questionable, but his intention is always to protect Sydney. So in that way I think he's a good parent.
I have been very impressed to see how Jennifer has stepped into this role and taken it to another level and I love working with her.
I find it exhilarating to pick up the script on my front porch and read it for the first time and see what the story is all about.
We're like a family. The crew loves working on the show although we work long hours and very hard. Nobody on the show is difficult.
The crew loves working on the show, even though we have to work really hard. There's nobody in the show that's difficult. We really have a great group.
I find out more about Jack every week. Essentially, I'm the same character, but I'm having more fun this season because I'm doing more aliases, you know. I like the surprise of not knowing.
I think theatre in L.A. is really risk.
My theory about Jack is that he's not a very good parent.
I don't know how directors do it. They must have so much going on in their head all the time. I don't think that's ever going to happen to me.
