Fisher Stevens

I'm really obsessed with the past. ”

And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night. ”

Unfortunately, the public might not know that we get a script usually two days before shooting. So sometimes I'm shooting an episode and don't even know how it's going to end because I haven't read that yet. ”

I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down. ”

But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they're in a dire situation or comedic situation. ”

But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know? ”

But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life. ”

The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies. ”

Well, I just wanted to be a person. I just wanted them to keep writing me as humanistic as possible. ”

But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too. ”
