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 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.
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.
I have no skills. The only thing I could possibly do is teach.
The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.
Sometimes, his methods and his motives are questionable and even his morals are questionable in the way he does things. But I think his intention is always to protect his daughter.
Growing up I was involved in children's theater, so I was definitely on the path to be an actor and a singer.
I'm very serious about acting.
