authenticity was very important to us within the CIA, but we took a little license with his commute because we wanted to show off our nation's capital.

Great question! First off, we were very intrigued about having a mosaic of characters that intersected with the main narrative, and during our research we came across an article about drone pilots working and living outside of las vegas. We were really fascinated by the juxtaposition of those two worlds, and it led us to create the character of Victor.

The point was to show a different perspective so that not all of our characters were operating with exact same level of commitment and patriotism; that there is a cost to doing this work that is not always the same for each person.

We were big fans of John from his work on the "office" and as we were getting ready to cast the show we were able to see a sneak preview of 13 hours, and we were very impressed by the transformation John went through physically and as a dramatic actor. We felt he had all the right attributes -- and there are a lot-- to be good in this role.

We are already 2 1/2 months into shooting it! Hopefully around this time next year, but that will be up to Amazon.

season 2 is a political thriller set primarily in South America but there is a Russia segment! We think it will be exciting to show how the two stories are linked. (Obviously we're being intentionally cagey.)
