I have a great-great-great-grandfather who was a Confederate cavalry colonel, and I still have his military composite photo on my wall. The chemicals in the photo tint have changed over the years to the point that he looks green. One of my family members apparently still has the piece of paper that listed every thing in his pocket when he got shot.

I feel there’s no need to overstate.

Having been trained as a stage actor, and then you go out there and you're on 40,000 acres and you have a horse under you and you're shooting a real gun, you almost don't have to act. It's just really amazing.

I don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.

We've taken a show about destruction and turned it into a show about construction.
