We knew the ham radio scenes were going to be really important, and that they were going to make or break the show. And then, we got up to Vancouver and started filming. We had been acting partners for ten years, and I thought this was the perfect role for her, and that even worked out. I had even suggested Peyton List for the role. I went in for a general meeting with the creator, Jeremy Carver, and the executive producer, Jen Gwartz, and I spilled out my love for the script to them, and luckily they reciprocated and I signed on. So, I can’t waiting for what was going to go wrong, but nothing did. And more than that, I was like, “All right, what’s the loophole going to be?” With this business, you can’t ever get too excited because you have to stay grounded. So, were you surprised that you actually found that? It’s one thing to say that you want to find the one, but it’s another thing to find something you connect with. The writing is so smart.” Everything was there. I almost didn’t read the third one because I was like, “This is it. So, I read three of their pilots and it was the second of the three that I read. I got very lucky because The CW sent me three scripts, right after the new year, which is very early for pilot season. My team had all decided that we wanted to find one that was going to check all the boxes and not only make the air, but hopefully do really well. But this year, I really wanted to find one that was going to be the one, and not just a possibility or check off certain boxes. That’s pretty much the routine of an actor, but I’ve been fortunate that it usually works out for me, one way or another. If they don’t, then I usually go get a nice recurring arc on a show. Sometimes they turn into series, and sometimes they don’t.
