There's a screen direction in the script for the pilot where it says, 'Jim Harper, mid-20s, enters,' and it said something to the effect of: 'He's confident without being cocky. He has no idea that he could be considered attractive, because he saw All The President's Men when he was thirteen and never looked up. ' It was just a great little gem of a screen direction, and I felt immediately from just that, that I had a good idea of how to play this guy.
I feel people think I'm almost like a robot - like an android I just don't really get portrayed as someone who has feelings or who is sympathetic like a self-absorbed ice queen.
