We’ve lived there more than home in the last two years. We’ve made an awful lot of friends there now. My son’s first day of school was today, I’m there until June! Depending on what happens with the show and other things I’m sure I’ll be there the whole time. We’ll find out in the next few weeks if the show will go for another season but we’ll be back in Prague anyway for my son to finish school. If it didn’t work for my family at that time I wouldn’t have taken the job no matter what it is. now, I’m from New York, it’s not like I’m going to Denver or Dallas it’s going to Prague, 8,000 miles away! So having been there before and love the city was one thing but the bottom line really came down to if my wife was up for the adventure and wanted to go. There are other cities you could have mentioned where I thought, “This isn’t like I’m gonna go on location.” I live in L.A. It’s tough to do a TV show, 55 pages in 8 or 9 days so that part of it doesn’t feel any different.Īs much as I liked reading the first couple of episodes it was because, 8 years ago I spent 5 days in Prague with my wife and when the show came along and it was mentioned we would film in Prague, well that had a lot to do with it. I feel that same way about the Czech crew, we have some Brits and French guys and girls in there. I’ve worked on big budget films and television shows and everything in between and no matter what, we get it done. There’s never enough time, but back home the crews are amazing. I haven’t had the pleasure yet to work here in England but I know what it’s like to work back in America on a film set and it’s a real strong work ethic, it’s tough to do a television show. How different is it to film in Prague as opposed to the U.S. I dearly love the Czech Republic and the people. That has probably been the best part of the show besides the experience of living in Prague. But yeah the core group is really good but, in particular, Donald who’s not only been a real joy for me to get to work with but to get to know him. That was part of it but a lot of that is a leap of faith, just because you know of somebody doesn’t mean it’s going to be good. I hadn’t met Donald (Sutherland) but I ‘kind of’ knew who he was. To be honest with you a lot of folks that are in the show I didn’t know, I wasn’t aware of them. The core cast is pretty fantastic anyway, was that part of what attracted you to the show? I think the commitment of the show to bring in that kind of calibre of talent is just amazing. And on top of that we have pretty great guest stars that are around. How much do they appear?Ĭarrie-Anne and Ray are in for 3 episodes and Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) is back as Genovese. That was probably the highlight of the second year for me are the episodes that she was on.Ĭarrie-Anne Moss is one of the new guest stars in this second season along with Ray Stevenson (Thor). We find out a lot more about his past and where he’s from and we meet his former partner, a character named Amanda Andrews who’s played by Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix Trilogy). I play Carl Hickman and in the second series we find out more about him and the group, it takes us a little more into who these people are, in particular Hickman. As the first season unfolds he starts to piece together why he’s over here in the first place. It’s spear-headed by a French character named Louis Daniel and one of his first recruits is a guy named Carl Hickman who’s a former NYPD detective who he meets, certainly not in his glory days and living in a trailer park in Amsterdam. It’s about a group of speciality policemen that are brought together to fight cross border crime that crosses between countries in the EU.
