कलाकार के तौर पर, हम बस यही कोशिश करते हैं कि किरदार के साथ न्याय किया जाए और लेखक की भावनाओं को जीवंत किया जाए। अगर आप अपनी पूरी क्षमता के साथ ऐसा करते हैं, तो आप सचमुच बस इतना ही कर सकते हैं। बाकी सब चीज़ें, जैसे फैंस और दर्शकों से मिलने वाली गर्मजोशी, तो बस सोने पर सुहागा जैसी हैं।
As actors, we try to just do the character justice and try to make the writer's intentions come to life. If you do that to the best of your ability, that's really all you can do. All that other stuff, like a warm reception from fans and viewers, is just icing.

जब मैं अपना मुंह खोलता हूँ, थोड़ा मुस्कुराता हूँ, कोई मज़ाक करता हूँ और बीयर पीता हूँ, तो बहुत से लोग वास्तव में हैरान रह जाते हैं।
A lot of people are actually surprised when I do open up my mouth and smile a little bit, and crack a joke and drink a beer.

सचमुच, मैं उस रास्ते से गुजर रहा था। मैं काम पर जा रहा था और सैन Francisco में ए.सी.टी. (अमेरिकन कंजर्वेटरी थिएटर) के पास से गुजरा, जहाँ वयस्कों के लिए शाम की पढ़ाई की कक्षाएं चलती थीं। मैंने कहा, "हाँ, क्यों नहीं?", और बस मजे-मजे में यह देखने के लिए अंदर चला गया कि वह कैसा अनुभव था।
Literally, walking down that path. I was walking to work and I passed by A.C.T. (American Conservatory Theater) in San Francisco, and they had night education classes for adults. I said, "Yeah, why not?," and walked in, just for the fun of it, to see what it was like.

और फिर, अभिनय की एक क्लास दो में बदल गई, फिर चार में, और देखते ही देखते ख्याल आया, "मुझे यह बहुत पसंद है। मैं जिंदगी भर यह कर सकता हूँ। लेकिन, मेरी तो एक्टिंग की कोई पृष्ठभूमि है नहीं। मैंने कॉलेज में कभी अभिनय नहीं किया, या ऐसा कुछ कभी नहीं किया। मैं इसे कैसे आगे बढ़ाऊँ?" इसका मतलब था किसी बेहतरीन संस्थान से प्रॉपर ट्रेनिंग लेना, और मैंने वही किया। सच कहूँ तो मैं बस इस रास्ते पर चलता चला गया। उस सुबह उस एक्टिंग स्कूल के सामने से गुजरना मेरे लिए बेहद किस्मत की बात थी।
And then, one acting class turned into two, turned into four, and then turned into, "I love this. I could do this for the rest of my life. But, I don't have a background in acting. I never acted in college, or did anything like that. How can I go about doing this?" That meant going to grad school and getting some training, and I did. I literally walked down the path. It was real fortuitous for me to walk by that school, that one morning.

मुझे कुछ पायलट स्क्रिप्ट्स मिलीं और मैंने कुछ अन्य प्रोजेक्ट्स के लिए भी ऑडिशन दिए। यह एक सामान्य ऑडिशन प्रक्रिया की तरह था, जहाँ मैं लगातार ऑडिशन देने जाता रहा और जैसे-जैसे आगे बढ़ा, पैनल पर बैठे लोगों का दायरा भी बढ़ता गया। हर कदम पर, मैं उस स्तर के ऑडिशन से संतुष्ट था।
I got some pilot scripts and auditioned for a couple other ones, too. It was just a standard audition, where I kept going in to read and went up the ladder, in terms of people who you're performing for during those auditions. Each step of the way, I was happy with that level of audition.

मैं फाइनेंस की दुनिया में काम कर रहा था। पैसिफिक स्टॉक एक्सचेंज के ऑप्शंस फ्लोर पर मैं एक मार्केट-मेकर के लिए शेयर खरीदने और बेचने का काम करता था। उन्होंने मुझे अपने संरक्षण में ले लिया था और अपने क्लाइंट्स का काम संभालने के लिए मुझे ट्रेनिंग दे रहे थे। उस समय मेरा करियर इसी दिशा में आगे बढ़ रहा था।
I was working in financing. I was buying and selling stocks for a market-maker on the options floor at the Pacific Stock Exchange. He took me under his wing and was training me to take over his accounts. That's the career I had embarked on, at the time.

मैं कभी यह सोचकर काम नहीं करता कि मुझे यह साबित करना है या वो बनना है, क्योंकि ऐसी सोच आपके काम को पूरी तरह से प्रभावित और खराब कर देती है। लेकिन, मैं आभारी हूँ और यह मेरे लिए वाकई एक सुखद आश्चर्य था। उम्मीद है, मैं आगे भी ऐसे काम करता रहूंगा जो दर्शकों के लिए दिलचस्प और मजेदार बने रहें।
I don't go into it trying to be this or that because that completely taints and corrupts the work that you're trying to do. But, I'm thankful and that definitely was a surprise. Hopefully, I'll keep doing stuff that remains interesting and fun for the audience.

मैंने पुलिस की कार्यप्रणाली के बारे में और गहराई से अध्ययन किया। मैंने SWAT के जवानों, पूर्व और वर्तमान सैनिकों के साथ ट्रेनिंग की, उनसे सलाह ली और किताबें पढ़ीं। जहाँ तक बात किरदार की है, तो एक फोकस्ड इंसान होने का मतलब क्या होता है, इसे आप किताबों से नहीं सीख सकते—सिवाय इसके कि आप खुद वैसे हों और उस अहसास को जानते हों। किरदार की पृष्ठभूमि और बाकी सब चीज़ों को छोड़ दें, तो गहराई में उतरने के लिए और कुछ खास नहीं था। आप बस वही करते हैं जो आपको करना चाहिए।
I did more research into the police procedure. I worked out with SWAT guys and ex- and active military guys, and consulted with them and read books. As far as the character itself, I don't know how you can research being a focused guy, aside from just being a focused person and knowing what that's like. Outside of the character background and all that, there wasn't a whole lot of other stuff to really delve into. You just do what you do.
