The thing that is uncomfortable is when people kind of stare for a long time and point. That gets weird. Id much prefer someone to come up to me and say something.

Ive seen an increasing willingness to hire Canadians for lead roles that shoot up here. When I started, they would always just fly in L.A. people to do the lead roles.

You read a lot of pilots during pilot season, and not all of them really grab you.

There are moments of levity. I feel like any great drama has moments of levity, or else it just becomes too hard to watch. 45 minutes of just pain and suffering is not enjoyable. We're trying to entertain people.

I always prefer the character moments. For me, personally, whether I'm shooting the gun or not shooting the gun, I really don't care. I'm the guy who's like, "Whatever you want me to do." But, I really get excited about the character moments that are steeped in emotion when the stakes are high.

My acting teacher in high school was really influential, and we still keep in touch.

I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving.
