In film you have the script months ahead of time often, for a good film, but in television it seems like you might not get the script until a week or two weeks before you've got to film it. It's a little weird, but also quite challenging. It reminds me of repertory theatre.

We're conditioned in this country to believe that if there's a problem, the black man is usually the culprit.
