I'm carrying a gun, and there's usually a corpse, so I think that may have something to do with it.

One of my first gigs was as a guest star, and I was supposed to be a big imposing character.

I'm not doing a Mulder, there was no character reference-point. I think Mark Buchman shot it very David Fincher, but we did not know what the [X-Files] show was going to be.

I wouldn't say I'm the anchor, I'm the one person who sees everyone at work - I don't get to see a lot of people outside of work too much because I'm there all the time. Everyone asks me "how you doing, have you slept?" so I know I'm working long hours.

Heading the show very thrilling personally, and an incredibly rare opportunity for growth on many levels in terms of workload and just pure skill. It's been fantastic.

Honestly, I grew up with Disney.

The workload is so heavy you forget about thinking, it just kind of happens.
