Whether we're stuffing our faces with Kogi tacos or playing a pickup game of football outside the stages, there's never a shortage of fun behind the scenes on 'Murder In The First.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Murder in the First' takes 12 episodes to explore the crime and the issues surrounding it, all in the hopes of answering the question, 'How did we get to this point?'
Very few of us playing a murderer will actually have killed someone.
I'm not sure whay I've been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories.
The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.
I definitely saw 'The Kill,' when I started it, as an entertainment.
I was watching the Danish version of 'The Killing' when I got the audition for 'The Fall,' and I loved it; it was so original. I approached 'The Fall' with that in mind. I'd no problem with the violence - it was very clear from the script how horrifying the crimes were and that had to be shown, without going to extremes.
'Death Sentence' really is a throwback to the '70s style revenge drama with moments of action. It's like a contemporary 'Death Wish' with a much more thriller style storyline, but the action scenes I shot very much in the style of '70s films like 'The French Connection.'
I don't think I'd seen anything like 'The Killing.'
If you think about what 'The Killing' is, it is the theatrical production, not the script.
TV has a three storyline structure, but 'The Killing' takes on that structure with such ambition.
