For me at least, it always begins with the script. It drew me in, and I [could] just sense the rawness of it all. This script does a really good job at times of saying the hard things that we as humans might hold back. It also leaves you with a lot of questions... I had so many questions I wanted to know more. And I think that's great-no matter how much you dive into the story, whether you're reading as an actor or you're watching as an audience member, you're going to have a question that leads you to another question that leads you to one more. That was my experience.
What was really wonderful about this pilot script ... there was nothing about the pilot that was like, we're wrapping this up in a bow. It was more, this is the first inch of a mile. I loved that. It is obviously so fast-paced and there's so much action, but there was really a trust that we're going to pull the audience in so organically from the very jump. We don't need to show our hand in every way.
I so appreciated that because I guess a lot of my experience with TV was that we've got to wrap up that thing by that next commercial break, or we've got to come to a conclusion.
