I had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show.

It's very much a back and forth conversation between the fans and the writers, between the writers and the powers that be. Their opinions, especially when expressed online or via correspondence, are important and are taken into consideration.

You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.

I think that's the beauty of the current setup, is that Legends is meant to be a bit of a revolving door.

You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.

I think ultimately that's why the audience will tune in longterm, for the characters and the relationships.

I don't think you need to watch Arrow and Flash to appreciate what it is Legends has to offer. The beauty of this show - and they do this on Flash, and they did this on Arrow - is that we do spend time on character. We do spend time on backstory. We do take a moment in between the sci-fi special effects to tell you who these people are, so that when something happens to them, you actually care.
