Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother’s instigation. So I owe him for that.
Some actors, and especially the younger actors, they come into the job with a lot of attention on how they behave and everything when they’re not working.
If your focus is there, then the actual doing of the job will be fun and enjoyable. But if you’re so involved in trying to be interesting and a character and everything when you’re not working, it can get in the way and people get goofed up.
I was coming into a situation I didn’t really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character’s kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops.
