If I'm playing a bad guy, and I'm playing him evilly - I'm making him evil; I'm being evil because I want the audience to understand that he's bad - or if I have a line that's funny, I do it in a comedic way, that, to me, is a lie. It's dead when I watch it.

I can't even explain how much it helps me.
One of the greatest things about 'Continuum' is how great the writing is; our writing room is one of the most talented ones I've ever had.
