As a mammothWayward Pines fan, I always did my utmost to notice every single character who made an entrance into the season two of the show, even if they were only there for a fleeting moment.

I knew right away that I had to do this. It was a character that was so brutal, brainwashed and committed to his cause, yet spoke in a manner that was charming and elegant. It's one of those roles that you know no one else is going to be able to tell it right except you.
I remember my first read-through. We're all sitting around a massive table, and I'm reading across from actors I've seen my entire life: Noah Wyle, Doug Jones, Will Patton, Moon Bloodgood, on a Steven Spielberg show! It was definitely a pretty amazing first introduction to the world of
