Ive always been very philosophical because Ive made my living dying.
That was when [former showrunner] Scott Gimple was guiding it.
I had so much fun on the show.
But the stuff in the pen last year in season 8, it got a little purged for me.
You know, Give me something exciting.
Kill me out so I can get home to my children and/or other more interesting projects.
Im like, I dont deserve this.
You know, how many times can you do that?
Ive got three falls from 30 floors.
Ive got three explosions in planes.
Ive got at least 15 stabbings and 25 gunshots.
I needed a hanging.
Its a bit mustache-twirly when I turned on her.
I cant imagine having her job with all those characters and then all the actors that go behind them.
What do you think it is that drives Gregory to this heinous act?
Is it just his lust for power or is it revenge on the woman who took it away?
A little bit of both?
What is the ultimate thing that drives him to this?Well, thats the thing.
Im my mind, it did happen so abruptly and suddenly.
I had hoped to see it played out a little bit.
It felt like it was jammed into the first episode.
If for the sake of the show to effectively begin the season off with a bang, then great!
Im happy if I could jump-start the season in that way, but… Hes gotten himself out of the pen.
I love that scene with Lauren where Gregory confronts Maggie outside.
I love that scene, but then to send someone else into the fray… Tell me about filming the execution scene.
What was that like?That was intense.
It went on all night, and they shot if from every possible angle.
That was my last day.
That guy said, Dude, I think you made the right call.
That thing freaked me out!
Ive done a whole lot of deaths maybe 75 death scenes in my life.
