Yeah, yeah. He's somethin' else. And he's the nicest guy, man. We're such a tight group and, just like Lena Olin, he came in and assimilated right away.
Really?
And he's a guy who pretty much just stays to himself, you know. So...well, actually, I shouldn't say that, because I don't really know. All I know is, I never work with him. Except for, well, an episode that airs this week, that was the first time that I worked with him.
Oh, really? So you're doing something...when you're getting involved with the CIA and stuff.
Yeah, uh, Will briefs the CIA on something.
Gotcha.
And it's a cool scene. And, uh, it was a chance to work with him, because I'd always sort of admired him from afar, and he is just the most down-to-earth guy.
I mean, he's been in this business forever, so it seems that he would be that kind of guy who just gets along with everybody and just does his role and does his work. Very professional, but also very laidback. I mean, you don't get to where he is, a consistent character actor -- which, by the way, I think is the ultimate honor. Being a character actor is, like, a billion times better than having to be an ingénue.
Yes. It's really great. And being able to sustain it through your career.
Oh, yeah. And his stuff -- his lines...I can already tell he's less tolerant of Marshall than Sloane.
Oh, completely! He's got no time for him. And how great, what's happened with Marshall?
I know!
Yeah, I mean, he's become a whole character now.
I know! I mean, this last one, where I actually had to transcribe some of his dialogue, I was like, "Yeah, I'm gonna just have to copy this shit from someone else's transcription because I can't understand what the fuck he's talking about."
Yeah, he was going pretty fast.
Do you guys actually hang out and stuff? You're pretty tight?
Oh, we're really tight. I live right -- I could yell to Ron right now.
Really?
He lives right next door to me.
Hee! Aw, Ron Rifkin's so nice.
And Michael and I are like...he's one of my best buddies out here.
Oh, that's awesome.
Yeah. And Victor.
Dude. Victor Garber.
Dude.
Dude.
