It was nice, though, to have the long term benefit to be able to pare away those things and eventually make the character my own and put my own unique stamp.
In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don`t have a ton of options as an actor who`s been on a science fiction show for 8 years.
It`s fun to play the character and then watch him later.
