A Lot Of The Times, Roles Are

I've Played A Bunch Of Different Versions Of Walter [from "fringe"]... I Loved It When He Was Being Random, Which Was Probably The Original Version Of Him, More Than Anyone Else. I Loved Doing Walter Then, And All Of The Different Mental States That We've Played.

I Loved Playing Walternate Because He Was Completely The Same Character, Version 1985, And Then It Developed In Such A Different Way, Physically And Mentally. So, To Be Able To Play That, In The Same Television Series, As Playing The Other Ones Was A Fantastic Gift For Me.

There's A Certain Pattern That Exists With Geniuses - An Eccentricity, A Lack Of Social Graces And An Inability To Really Communicate With Mere Mortals.

We Shouldn't Be Put Out To Pasture Just Because We've Reached Somebody's Idea Of Retirement, Which Was Certainly Happening In Australia, And I Think Elsewhere As Well.

What I've Observed Is That Television In The Last Decade Has Increased To Something That's Almost Unrecognizable. They Are Feature Films. That's A Huge Shift, And It's Something The Audience Expects. They Still May Want To Watch Their Half-hour Sitcom, But When They Watch Scripted Drama, They Expect The Standard.
