Well, it was kind of accidental that Jim started playing with us, although it wasn't sudden... we hadn't really looked around to think who could be a fifth member.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that's correct.
I love playing Jim. I love working with this cast and the opportunity to come back and work with them again was just way too appealing for me. Also, I think this is a great way to wrap up the franchise.
I don't know if Jim was a major part of that or not. He is one of a small group of real storytellers. He has enormous imagination and ability to write. I'm glad he's coming back. It's going to be good for the show.
Jim, as just a spoken poet, was not that good. He needed the music behind him. He felt a security and a sense of abandon when the music existed around him.
I don't think anyone connected with Five-O believed the show would last as long as it did.
Now, I'm the only living member of that group. There was the six of us originally and they're now all gone.
When 'Party of Five' ended I believed we had run our course. I believed the basic ideal and premise of the show had been fulfilled.
I always watched the show thinking, 'Wouldn't it be great to be a member?', but I never thought it would happen.
I don't know if he was the fourth man or the fifth, but he was certainly in the top 10.
One of the first groups we signed was the Fifth Dimension.
