You don't just see and feel the movie, you see and feel every day you worked on it.

In acting, you are fulfilled if you give justice to your role... if you are able to do a credible performance and touch the audience. Same with directing. If you are able to draw out the best from your actors, then you fulfill your job as a director.

Here's one thing I can't understand: people who are friends with their exes.

A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and its immediate, and people write about it.

I saw a guy being really abusive to his girlfriend. She was asking people to help, but no one would. When he grabbed her, I tried to separate them, but he turned on me. I punched him and knocked him down. It wasn't a scandal; I was just doing what anybody should.

You don't just see and feel the movie, you see and feel every day you worked on it.

Even in the off season, people are streaming the show or buying the DVD sets, and new audience comes to Leverage every year weve been doing it.
