If people don't connect to Eric Carter's struggles, I'm sure they'll find a character in this series to connect to. That's ultimately what it's about for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only pressure, as an actor, is to step into Eric Carter's shoes and make him as fully and as complex and as flawed and as human as I could.
Chris Carter is just a fantastic guy, I have enjoyed working for him, immensely. I loved this character. I don't think I can say enough about Chris. It's just a fantastic thing that he's created and I'm so thrilled that I've been a part of it. I'm very grateful.
I don't know how it would play out it the long run, if I were go to series with the story, I don't know. I just miss Peter so much on a personal level, that's about what I can say. He's my buddy and I wish he were around.
I admire Elliott Carter endlessly. But I have no ambitions to emulate him.
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
Between you and me, I think that may be one of the things that will help with the collaboration, because there are things Eric thinks I'm moving too quickly on, and there are things I think he's dragging out. When it gets to the editor they can arbitrate.
I think anybody would be hard pressed not to relate to at least one of the characters, because there's so many different multifaceted people populating this crazy world.
Pretty much anybody who's ever worked can relate to our show.
I'm a sucker for a screwed-up protagonist. We all have issues.
It's a dream for everyone to be a part of an American series - a huge, successful series. It's just a gift for me.
