You were a big fan of the original show?
Fan in the sense of the fact that I realized that show at the time with the multiple boxes and the real time, with everything taking place in one particular day, was really kind of a game changer in terms of the way people watched television. So it was really iconic and Kiefer did a wonderful job on it.

Action scenes coming up for John Donovan?
I really got engaged in this because they were kind of expanding the universe, and I hadn’t done a lot of action. I hadn’t been in that lane. I played a cop on television once, so I had to do a lot of running around with that. But here I’m doing this political thing, but I’m finding in these latter episodes that I’m taking a lot of anti-inflammatories because they’ve got me running around and stuff.

Judging by press release, I think he will be abducted in Ep 9 and 10.
