IamA Donal Logue from Terriers, Grounded for Life, Sons of Anarchy, Copper and Vikings- Ask me Anything

Hey Donal, I just wanted to ask why you are such a cool and amazing Dude? True Story Redditors... I contacted Donal out of the blue a few years back via "myspace" gasp... about helping me propose to my then girlfriend. The joke was that she thought I looked like him and she would always see Donal on TV/Movies and say "look it's you!"... Well long story short, I reached out and Donal said he would be Honored and some point later we met up and he helped prank my girlfriend and then I proposed. He did this for me, a complete stranger! She didn't believe it, and it was a night we will never forget. Totally the coolest guy in the world in my book. So ends another tale of "LEGENDS OF LOGUE" Thank you DONAL!!! Pics or it didn't happen... http://postimg.org/image/c8jz7wkw1/

the whole plan of you proposing was the greatest thing ever- what a joyous occasion! I pretended my grandma gave me a special pen I used to sign things an that was the box the ring was in- tHANK YOU for letting me be part of your life in that way- I miss you guys, btw

Tao of Steve is one of your best films. Not really much more to say, I just always wanted to tell you that and now thanks to reddit... I can.

thank you!

Any chances of a Terriers movie? I really loved that show. It ended with Britt at a crossroads, as his friend and partner, Hank offered him a choice: drive straight to prison or go left and flee to Mexico.

How do you feel the story proceeded or should have?

chance of terriers movie (we talk about it) ted griffin dreams of netflix or someone picking it back up (better as series than a film)

britt went to prison- had to go down like that

Donal! Big fan of Grounded for life. How do you feel about the legacy of the show now that it has been over for a couple of years? Also, I remembered it had jumped from Fox to WB during it's run, how did that affect the show, if at all? I've always been curious to shows changing networks during production, you guys did not seem to miss a beat though. Thanks for doing this!

thank you WB for saving the show! BUT grounded for life should never have left fox (one person made that decision- all the other execs were fighting to keep it there) and yes the jump affected the show and our ability to make it in the same way

I would love to see you on 'Justified'!!

i love justified- FX may be tired of me by now though!

alright- thank you for being here and supporting copper, sons and vikings- if you want to know anything else- I am way too open and can be found at @donallogue on twitter

What has been your favorite role so far and why is it Hank? Be right back, going to go cry about Terriers some more.

had many favorites- hank clearly (gave me most running room) love lee toric on sons and donovan on copper- vikings is an incredible experience- cast and shooting in Ireland an added benefit- I loved doing and the band played on and jimmy the cabdriver too

Hi Donal. Just wanted to say I got a chance to work with you as an extra this summer in Ireland and you, sir, are a class act.

Didn't pluck up the courage to talk to you then but hope to get the chance to work with you again.

Sincerely yours,

Ray the Saxon

ray! sorry to kick saxon ass! next time on set you have to come say hey- vikings is (from top to bottom) a team effort for all involved

Any news on Terriers stuff? DVD release? Realistic chance of a Kickstarter or a Netflix revival?

What shampoo do you use?

i use any shampoo the hotel gives me in tiny bottles- realistic chance of some kind of terriers revival- yes

Was it more awesome working with Kevin Corrigan on Grounded for Life or Nicolas Cage in Ghost Rider?

love both of them- kevin i knew beforehand- nic I just met in Australia when we did ghost rider

I was digging into your IMDB in prep for this. I had no idea that was you in Sneakers as Dr. Janek. That's awesome!

I recently discovered Terriers on Netflix. Amazing show. (Sorry I missed it when it was on FX.) I've recommended it everyone I know. Literally.

Have you kept in touch with Ted Griffin? Any plans to work on something else together? Had Terriers made it to a 2nd (and beyond) season, where would you have liked Hank to go as a character?

Thanks for being awesome! I look forward to checking out Copper.

i always check in with ted griffin (see previous answer)

Will there ever be a Knights of Prosperity reunion show?

I wish- we need the Knights of Prosperity to comeback- wait kickstarter campaign in the making? could we afford Sofia Vergara? so many questions!

Very excited to see what is in store for your character on Sons of Anarchy. Are we going to see a lot of your character in this upcoming season?

Yeah- Lee Toric runs amock around SOA land in `Season 6 (without giving anything away)

Donal, Zodiac is my favorite movie. How much of a ballbuster is Fincher? What's the most takes you had to do for a single shot?

i was on the low take count for david (maybe 19 takes the least we did) possibly a record- fincher not a ballbuster though- just a genius who wants a bunch of different looks at the same scene

Hey Donal! Big fan of Terriers and I'm a native of El Centro, CA. Got any fond valley/Central memories you could share?

too many! just wrote a novel that takes place in el centro in 1980 (so it's my youth) called "Agua" do out next year harpercollins canada and US publisher will be determined late this fall- writing book was a trip through my childhood in the Imperial Valley

uh no, you are donal logue from 'tao of steve' and You are brilliant.

thank you! i am flattered (and undeserving)

Who should we blame for not having anymore Terriers? That show was easily among the best crime show on tv.

Also how cool was it to be around the guys from SOA, I have an image of Ron Perlman being just a really cool dude.

Are you gonna be as badass in the new season as SOA as the previous one led us to believe?

no blame for terriers demise save for poor ratings- fx had their hands tied on that one- the SOA group is amazingly cool- Ron, Kurt, Kim, Boone Jr. Charlie, Katey, Tommy, DL, Maggie, everyone everyone daltonetc- all smart- super cool folks (and I got to work with Rockmond again!)

I actually got an answer!

Will you wish me luck on my English exam on Wednesday?

good luck on wednesday- don't blow this one

Tá súil a fheiceann Karina agus tú a dhéanamh níos mó stuif le chéile!

Tá súil a fheiceann Karina agus tú a dhéanamh níos mó stuif le chéile!

slan- i love my sister- one of the most talented people I have ever met and crushingly funny

How does sitcom acting differ from drama acting? Do you prefer one to the other?

Just want to say I am a huge fan. You've been my favorite actor for a long, long time. I remember a few years ago you were at Pitt's campus and it was wonderful hearing you talk about acting. Keep up the good work!

a god lesson i learned at my first audition for film television (thinking it was different from theater) was NY casting director Meg Simon telling me "acting is acting- just do the scene)

In this episode of Grounded for Life http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcrjuj9moJw was that scene improvised? And was Kevin looking into the audience because that reaction wasn't expected? Thanks Donal! :)

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcrjuj9moJw improvisation was involved but grounded for life was the result of bill martin, mike schiff and a big staff of awesome writers loved that scene though!

Hi Donal (if it is you)- Long, longtime fan. Three questions:

1- how bummed were you about Terriers getting cancelled?

2- how did you like working with Damien Lewis, and...

3- Sarah Shahi (on Life, for those wondering what show)?

bummed about terriers- but incredibly fortunate to have done it and thankful to FX for keeping it on the air despite low ratings (and netflix for giving it a second life) Damian is an amazing actor and even better person- also I ma a huge fan of Sarah Shahi- we are still close friends (same with Damian) Damian's acting abilities are next level

I need you and Kevin Corrigan to costar on a tv show ASAP!!!! you guys were so awesome on Grounded for Life.

i need kevin in my life for so many reasons- I miss Kevin- one of the all time great actors (and please follow the awesome @megynprice on twitter) megyn and lynsey were the true warrior/stars of grounded for life in my opinion

Hey Donal! Grounded for Life was a favorite show of mine while it was on the air, and Terriers was fantastic as well. What are some upcoming projects of yours that you're getting excited about?

Well Copper is in the last half of season 2 amazing show that needs love on bbc america sunday at 10 Sons of Anrchy starts Sept 10th and Vikings I am working on right now- my book Agua is the thing that drives me cra`y 24 7 though- trying to make it really good (thanks Hadley Dyer at HarperCollins! my editor)

Hey, Donal! I am continually impressed by your performance in Copper. Between that beard and the accent, I didn't recognize you until I saw your name in the closing credits. Is the beard real, or prosthetic?

my son (looking over my shoulder) just laughed and said- oh yeah, the beard is real (it's even crazier now)

What ever happened to Jimmy the cab driver?!

started driving a towncar

What was it like filming Terriers with your sister, in particular, the scene where she's climbing into the attic while you're playing guitar? That scene was a great cliffhanger and made Terriers a must watch show. Appropos of nothing, I consider Terriers to be the second best one and done show, behind the legendary Freaks and Geeks. Maybe Shout Factory can release Terriers on DVD and Blu-ray!

terriers was brilliant for sure- of course i am biased- but my sister was amazing as steph- thanks for the terriers love

How often do you get people quoting Tao of Steve to you?

yesterday was the last time- tao of steve endures

We need a reprisal of your MTV spots, stat. The one where you parodied the video for "Ironic" is forever burned into my memory. Thanks for that. :)

jimmy will live again!

Nothing to ask, just wanted to say Terriers was insanely good, as were you in it. Just a really, REALLY good show. Also, catchiest theme song I can think of (it's now my ringtone).

we tried to make terriers a show in which if a moment felt fake or forced (and not in line with the the emotional reality of what was happening in the show) it had to go- that's Shawn Ryan, Ted Griffin and Tim Minear for you- (Tim Minear needs a ton of props- watch AMerican Horror story)

Really liked in you in the show Life and Terriers. Terriers is one of my favorite shows and I hope to see more of it.

• Will there be a kickstarter for Terriers like one for Veronica Mars movie?

• Any fun or interesting stories on the set of Life and Terriers?

• What are you favorite moments on both shows?

• Was that you or your stunt double in full body burned make-up in Blade? How long did it take it put on the make-up?

favorite terriers moments?? too many- working with michael raymond james and that crew off the charts (michael and I rented a house on mission beach together too and jumping in ocean everyday was a plus) doing scenes with my sister, karina, while my mom and dad were on set was awesome

life was just an amazing show- i miss damian lewis and sarah shahi too

sorry- stuntdouble for blade in burn make-up- yes and no- I did some stuff and dislocated my jaw and went to hospital in burn make-up and there is a half-hour comedy bit in what ensued- my double (who jumped out hospital into ambulance) was awesome and broke his leg on that one

RIA! How does a Hollywood actor find himself in the trucking industry? I respect these men and women immensely as this country would be at an economic standstill without their efforts.

trucking is awesome- my partners in Aisling Trucking, Bud and Cathy Williams are the hardest working, biggest hearted people I know- trucking is 1000 times harder than acting- when I am driving truck I marvel at the skill level and hard work it takes and I love truckers, trucks, truck stops and all of it- it is criminal how little truckers get paid for the service they perform- getting my class A cdl was a big, big deal in my life

couple of minutes left- whatever you want to ask- throw it down!!!!!

Hi Donal! Just one of Horik's men stopping by to say hello! (Up onto the overturned keel....)

sweet- I will be heading back to Ireland tomorrow - now I am in Calabasas- o snap- Kardashian country!

Ah, Dr. Janek in Sneakers. "It would be a breakthrough of Gaussian proportions..." was said (seriously or sarcastically) more times in the 1990s than I care to admit. Was that math monologue particularly challenging, in terms of how to deliver it? Did you base the cadence and style on anyone in particular?

there is such a long story behind that- janek was not supposed to be as young as I was at the time- but i argued that he should be young enough to blast existing paradigms in math/science

You are awesome in Sons of Anarchy, which is up there with my favorite shows currently on TV. I'm really looking forward to this upcoming season to see how your character progresses. How is working on SOA? Lee Toric seems to be a bit of a different character than the ones you normally play.

working on sons was the best experience possible- season 6 gets so dark- it shook me leaving work though- but environment (cast and crew) couldn't be cooler- a lot of terriers peeps on the crew too

Should marijuana be legalised?

i don't drink alcohol or smoke weed (not because it was something I never did) so I am not sanctimonious- even though I don't smoke weed I still think it should be legalized for 1000 reasons

Loved your work in American Splendor. Is there going to be a sequel set in outer space?

yes and no

What's the best prank you've ever seen played on a set?

TRAVIS FIMMEL (star of vikings) is the greatest prankster of all time- Garry Marshall however- flew in a dude I was goofing on to confront me when making "Dear God" that was deep

[deleted]

i did a little in highschool (thanks Mrs. Johnson at Central Union High in El Centro) but started in earnest sophomore year in college

No question, just wanted you to know whenever talk of movies "you gotta see" comes up I always throw "Tao of Steve" into the conversation.

thank you! tao of steve love endures in the universe

Hello! Thanks for being here today -- it's really great to see you. I love your work.

I have some questions about something not listed in your post above: your performance in last year's CBC adaptation of Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. A lot of us who work on Leacock academically were very excited to see that there'd be a new film adaptation of his classic work on the centenary of its publication, but the end results were sort of mixed.

Your performance in it was wonderful, but I have to say that it was one of the few things about it that I unambiguously liked. I'd love to get your perspective on as many of the following questions as you're prepared to answer:

1. What was it like to work on the first major adaptation of this classic Canadian work in fifty years?

2. Have you read the Sketches yourself? What do you think of them? And how did you feel to see that so many of the stories involving your character were cut out?

3. Did the production team talk to the cast at all about their adaptation philosophy? What did they have to say about it? It was a real surprise to many of us to see a 90-minute adaptation called Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town that only really adapted two of the book's twelve stories while adding so much material from the author's own life and a handful of other books.

4. This is certainly hypothetical, but if they decided to adapt the rest of the Sketches in the same fashion, would you be prepared to play Josh Smith again?

Thanks very much for this AMA, and for your great work in this film. The Sketches mean a lot to me, and it was a pleasure to see one of the most important characters in this adaptation brought to life so well.

so much to say! I love Leacock- I love how dark it was in ways (alcoholic father who abandoned family) malcolm macRury is brilliant (adaptation by) many long conversations about how he chose what he chose to make that version- I would do Josh Smith again in a heartbeat- I love jill hennessy too and was proud to be in an all canadian cast

How was working with Terrence Malick and that cast on The Thin Red Line?

i got cut from thin red line and to this day i don't think I've been in such a band of brothers situation- adrien brody, tim blake nelson, dash mihok, larry romano, sea penn, will wallace john reilly elias koteas- we were all tight- would scuba dive a lot together on great barrier reef- love love love terrence malick

[deleted]

thanks lee toric and king horik are complicated people- but not necessarily nice guys at all

I love you in Grounded for Life, You are awesome in SOA. But my favorite role of yours was in Hackers 2: The take down. The movie about Kevin Mitniks arrest. Thank you for doing this AMA and thanks for the fun watching your work.

Q: What did you take away from Hackers 2, and what do you (try) to take home from each part at the end of the day? Any good lessons you have learned?

the best absolute greatest thing that happened because of takedown was I became friends with kevin mitnick (after he got out of prison) and skeet ulrich- they are both still good friends

How often are you asked to sign a Blade DVD? (Extra points for "New Line Platinum Series" snap case)

blade is job I am most stopped for in street, truck stop, etc- I drive big rigs and pulled my peterbilt into truckstop and dude working behind the counter tripped so hard and actually had a blade dvd for me to sign

Just wanted to say I love your work!

thank you

Hey Donal, I don't really have a question.

Just want to say, no matter what you are in, good or bad, you always stand out.

Thanks for the good times.

thank you!! one life journey on earth and we are in it together

No question. Just want to say that my brother and I loved your cab driver character on those MTV spots when we were kids.

thank you- hearing that made doing them worth it- created it with my rock friends, jesse peretz and clay tarver

Ah man no question just wanted to say I loved you in blade. Perfect comedic relief mixed with badass. Perfectly flowed with the movie, which is one of my favorite of the action genre. You're great in everything man. Keep in keepin on

thanks- I love keep on keeping on- it's what i tell everyone

• It says on IMDB that you lost 4 friends to alcohol abuse and you haven't had alcohol since 1991. Did you use these experiences and was it difficult when playing your character as a recovering alcoholic on Terriers?

• I didn't know you still drive big rigs. Will you be making a big rig movie like Over the Top or Black Dog?

Thank you for doing this AMA.

the imdb thing about quitting drinking is a bit off- all of us in El centro remember a very bad wreck in 84 in which we all lost a number of friends- I quit because my life sucked and no matter what I intended, alcohol was the priority- big rig tv show is in the works (we'll see)

Man I really loved Tennis, Anyone?. That movie needs to be seen by everyone. Just came here to say that and thanks for being so awesome.

thank you- i am super proud of tennis anyone? kirk fox, jason isaacs, paul rudd stepehn dorff danny trejo et al- thanks to orian williams

I noticed you tweeted about a Twilight Singers song the other day. I recently saw Greg Dulli live at the Sub Pop Silver Jubilee. The Afghan Whigs are one of my favorite bands of all time, with Up In It being one of my favorite albums of all time.

Did you listen to the Whigs and if not, what other early 90s grunge acts do you like?

I listen to the Afghan Whigs constantly- greg is one of my best friends (has been since I road managed another great band- Bullet LaVolta) mud honey, dag nasty, lemonheads, teenage fan club, mogwai, too many to count)

Having gone to St. John's College in Santa Fe, The Tao of Steve is required viewing for all undergrads. I still wonder if you have any idea that it's obsessively watched at my school.

i considered St. John's when I left high school (santa fe and maryland campuses) I am always impressed by st. john's grads (and now even more so)

How'd you get involved with Sons? Did Sutter seek you out? Also, judging from the end of season 5 and the promo for season 6, is it safe to assume that we're going to see a lot of Lee Toric?

edit: Oh, yeah. RIP Terriers. Glad to hear that there's an outside chance of a comeback!

my involvement with sons of anarchy is 100 percent due to kurt sutter trying to get me on for years (scheduling problems prevented it) I owe kurt sutter so much

Would you rather have people explore your film work or television work? If you had to make the choice, of course. Thanks Donal

no difference- clearly television is in an amazing place right now with so much room for writers, directors and actors- but films like the tao of steve are always special (zodiac etc- can't do that in an episode of television)

Hey donal i just wanted to tell you that terriers was a greats show sad they got cancel and also the tao of steve was one of the first movies that got me introduced to your humor my question is out of all you shows which one did you like the most and my wife says hi

asking what shows you like is like asking which of your kids you love the most- the answer is arlo of course (just kidding finn- arlo's standing over my shoulder and you are at skateboard camp- hard to beat terriers for how much i was given to do though

Think you'll ever play piano again? But seriously, you were fantastic in Blade!

thank you- loved blade- stephen norrington is a genius

Hi Donal...friend of yours from Central. I am so impressed with the depth you bring to your characters. How do you approach each one?

I try and figure out the whole world first and then where they fit in- what is their personal mission then I try my best- there have been times when if I was confused- I sucked! I feel bad about missteps I have made

ps- go Spartans

Hi there! I can't wait to watch CBGB, hoping for it to be released in Germany as well. How was the atmosphere on set, and how was working with Stana Katic? Thanks!

I have been friends with stana for years- I am doing a film with German Wim Wenders- and she loved the script I adapted and she is as cool as they come- CB's was a great experience (I hung at the club a lot in the 80's)

Hi Donal, has anyone told you that your Irish accent in Copper sounds more Jamaican?

jamaican accent came from cork. kerry irish people living in jamaica- true fact) Irish accents from Belfast through Dublin to Kerry as different as Mississippi to Baltimore and then New York- rock on

Does your mom consider "Sneakers" to be the best movie you've ever been in? Did she give you math tips during the movie?

ha! did you have my mom as your math teacher at calexico??? my mom finds most of what I do amusing, but baffling from her perspective as an irish catholic

How do you feel about the city of Boston?

I lived in Boston when we first immigrated to America and went back for college (and beyond) if I could- I would live very happily in Boston going to shows at the Middle East smoking a pipe- I love Boston

Howdy dooty, Jimmy The cab Driver was the best thing on MTV... dammit I would love a Jimmy The Cab Drive movie, see how he lived and where he lived.. DO EEEETTTT

we tried to do a jimmy the cabdriver movie- had it set up at paramount and then it all went south- long, semi-boring story- but there was a guy who essentially killed it and it was a bummer- nothing we could do

Huge fan Donal!!, love Grounded For Life, any upcoming projects??. I heard also that you're a dual Irish/Canadian citizen??, do you ever get to spend as much time as you'd like in both countries??. Keep up the good work dude!!

I spent the almost half of this year in Canada- spending the other half in Ireland (bt broke it up with a stint in NOHO on Sons of Anarchy) my parents live off and on back in Kerry

How great it is to work on such an authentic set as Copper? Also, you all seem to have a true affection for each other, which is great. What is the word on Season 3?

no word on season 3 of copper- but copper (from top to bottom) was a joy and a privilege- the production design of shows like copper and viings (and sons) makes the actor's job so much easier

Hey Donal! So 1) we have a few mutual friends, as you may have seen on other social media (Steve Schub, Tim Minear and Stephen Collins) - you're in good company amongst some of my fav folks and 2) what would 6th grader Donal have liked his teachers to make sure he left the grade knowing? I am going back to teaching after a hiatus of a few years and need all the advice I can get. Thanks!

i had an amazing run in fifth and sixth grade- reading fiction is the key- teaches you to dream of outside world

With what happened to Bob Filner in San Diego, could you see that being worked into "Terriers" in the future? Hope the show gets a second life.

the bob filner story is sad- but the terriers bad guy (neil mcdonough) was going to be far worse

What is your favourite silent film and why?

Do you think the history of film is important? And what do you think can be done to broaden the appeal, or introduce silents to the youth of today?

oooh Elias Merhige's Begotten yes- the bicycle thief (not silent) is a classic for a reason

oh, I just thought of a question! lol; is there any type of character you haven't done yet, or story line, etc. that you would really love to do?

i wantt o get back to improvisation comedy a la jimmy the cabdriver- am cooking something up at bad robot possibly along those lines

Loved you in Confidence. Just say'n.

loved confidence- ed burns, luis guzman (who inspired me to move to the country- he lives n vermont) rachel, paul, brian leland order dustin hoffman - amazing cast

Donal, you have been one of my favorite actors for years, and you just keep showing up in my favorite movies and shows, Terriers, SOA, Copper, Life, and so many more. I saw you at Mexicali in Studio City right after I moved to LA to pursue acting as a career. I didn't want to be a drag, but as we passed each other I just said, Hey man, I really dig your work! You were really cool and gracious. Cut to several years down the road, acting didn't work out for me (bummer but life choices and all that). I'm back visiting friends in LA for the last time it turned out, we go to In & Out Burger (criminally absent from my current location), and damned if you didn't walk in. You were with your kids, so I didn't want to be a dick and crowd you. I just thought that was a weird 'full circle' kind of element to my LA experience. That's a long thing to say that you prolly won't read, but I really admire you and your work. Continued good fortune to you, sir.

thanks so much for saying that- ps- life is a long dream machine- even if you have to be responsible to kids (i get it) keep dreaming creating and going for stuff - i feel that way about trucking, writing novels, etc- keep trying and creating and say hey next time!

Did you ever dance on the speakers at "Forum"?

mexicali?????

When will the SOA crew be making a road trip to Camacho's?

SOA crew would fit right in in Camacho's

Hi Donal ! Are you still shooting the new season of Vikings ... so eager to see what happens next. Were you surprised that history channel were behind shooting a TV series of this nature ?

no- because the execs at histry (and mgm) are cool and they hit a homer with hatfileds and mccoys before vikings

ps- still shooting vikings- we are almost halfway through season 2

Just want to let you know that Tao of Steve is one of my favorite movies. Did you enjoy making that film?

i loved the tao of steve- thanks to antony bregman and ted hope- jenniphr goodman and greer goodman and duncan north (the stone cold genius it's based on)

When will you be back on Vikings?

I am in all of season 2 of vikings that premieres in america in march of 2014

Good evening sir, hope all is well. Been a fan of yours for some time now, you were my favorite SOA character. My question is, do you own a motorcycle... And if so which one?

I sold my 2003 harley fatboy to @GillesMarini (twitter) and now only have two insane WR450 Yamaha enduros (til I get a new street bike)

Only 1 record to play in your cab: 'Come On Feel The Lemonheads' from The Lemonheads or 'The Gift' from Bullet LaVolta. Choose wisely.

the gift- bullet lavolta- my life was 24 7 bullet lavolta in those days

Would you consider 'Grounded for Life' the greatest show ever to take place on Staten Island?

Grounded for Life is the second greatest show set in Staten Island- the never aired sitcom about the creation of the WU TANG CLAN IS THE GREATEST

Hi Mr logue! One quick question, how did the music video with theory of a deadman come about? It's one of my truly favorite music videos, and you are one of my favorite actors. Even if you don't see this thanks for the AMA! Has been an interesting read so far

one of my oldest- best friends- Paul Boyd (genius Scottish Director) who actually played a role in getting me to do things like Jimmy the Cabdriver- called me up to do theory of a deadman's video- loved those guys and hanging with paul and the band in jacksonville doing that video pulled me out of a weird period where I was being a wuss and in a dark space personally- a lot of good stuff started in my life after "Lowlife"

Peanutbutter or Nutella ?

i can live on peanut butter

What show/movie has been the most fun to work on?

there are so many for so many different reasons- I swear to god- it's not the critical factor that makes up great life experiences though- I loved working with a cool young cast on things like shark night and when david ellis died i was so sad because he was a kick ass human being and a friend

Did I hear something about you writing a novel?

i answered that in question about my hometown of el centro on the mexican border- novel is called "Agua' will come out mid next year

"Cochise!" Does anyone yell that at you when you're walking down the street? Thanks for the AMA!

i wish- jimmy on sabotage was one of my favorites- "Nathan Wind as..." I give it up to the genius of `Spike Jonze and the Beastie Boys

Don't really have a question, just wanted to say hi, & I love you on Vikings; Can't wait for the next season to start! Have a great day!

thank you!

How do you like working on coppers, vikings, and sons? All awesome shows! I was pretty bummed to hear of the demise of terriers!

i feel blessed and grateful- involved a lot of flying around- but its been a bit of a thrill ride- tom kelly, tom fontana, kurt sutter, michael hirst as writers - unreal experience
