I like the fact that Jack is always wearing a tie except when he's on a mission. I do like it when I get out there and dress up, or dress down, a little bit.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.

Thank goodness I started getting movie roles and then television shows came along. So I was very fortunate to be able to do all three and I like all of them.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.
