Speaking to 'Forbes', he said: "You know, it just sort of came to me at the beginning of the year and I’d seen the original series. When I was watching that - it was back in 2020 or 2019 - I loved it. It’s rare that that happens to me. I thought - Well, I wonder what I could do with that character. Then literally four years later, David Glasser from 101 [Studios] sort of approached my agent and said, 'We’ve got this remake happening.' I got sent the scripts and I just loved the intelligence of it. I love the world already from the original series - the idea of what it takes to work in this line of work, what sort of people are attracted to it and what’s the evolution of a person through a 20-year career in that field."

"Well, it’s all about just learning - getting the opportunity to get into other facets of what I’m doing. So, whether that means we continue doing this series, will I get behind the camera and direct a little bit, get into the edit - and just get more of an understanding of the whole process. I’ve been a producer on quite a few things. I set up my own production company back in 2007. So, it’s always just about learning - the opportunity to be a part of something."

His dedication to achieving authenticity through physical discipline has made him a standout in roles that require significant emotional and physical endurance, showcasing a commitment to his craft that goes beyond just learning lines. Every one of his performances can be studied by those coming up in the art.

"I also want to find the balance that I can work and also be at home. With Alicia working, as well - that she gets the opportunity to work. We try and balance it where one of us is at home, while the other works. So, just finding that happy balance and then not overthinking too many things. That’s always been the way - just getting scripts in and responding to them, and finding the projects that I find interesting. Of course, as you sort of go through the years, various things are going to have more interest or less - but always, I’ve tried to do different things and try not to re-visit projects or characters I may have done before," he says.
