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

Everyone has their challenges.

I feel extremely lucky, extremely grateful, and a little bittersweet, too.

In my career as an actor, there is a catchphrase that Scofield always says often in regards to his brother, 'Have a little faith.' In my own career as an actor, there were times when I was the only one who believed in myself in the face of the odds.

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 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.

There was no script, but I said, 'I'm in, regardless' and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page.It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone.
