“I’ll tell you what I like about what he does. Everybody looks at him and goes, “Well, Jesus, look at him.” I mean, he’s so good looking and he looks so imposing and you just sort of fall right in as soon as you see him. But the subtlety with which he does all that stuff. I mean, people have appreciated his work, obviously. But really, the very first day of the pilot—it might have been the first scene we shot—I come into his office and he’s got a hangover, so he’s got to take aspirin, do this scene with me, take off his tie, jacket, shirt, reach into the drawer, take out another shirt, which is wrapped in plastic, unwrap it, put it on, button it up, redo his tie, take the aspirin. And I can see (laughs) tiny little beads of sweat, you know, forming, as we go. He had to button his cufflinks or some shit, too.”
