ALEX O’LOUGHLIN: Yeah, I do. I — I don’t want to take anything away from the other shows I’ve done. I’ve worked with some incredible people and some wonderful showrunners and some — well, “Moonlight,” I don’t know if I ever met the showrunners. There were about 17 of them. But the other shows were great in their own ways. But the thing is there’s a reason things either work or don’t work in television. And I don’t know what the answer is. I just sort of keep blundering along to the next thing and hoping. But this has — the team behind this, I mean, the two men here who are at the helm of this show, Peter and Alex, and the writing staff that we have, it just feels – everyone feels so capable. There’s also something – I don’t know. Like I saw the pilot. I read the pilot, I did the pilot, and I saw what they did with it. And there’s something special about it. So I mean, if this one doesn’t go, I’m completely bewildered. I have no idea how television works at all.
Wow! I knew the ML showrunner responsibilities kept changing hands, but seriously, were things that bollixed on the show? There's got to be some interaction between those behind the scenes, especially the showrunners and those in front of the camera, especially the lead, or at least I would hope so.
The other thing that's sort of sad about this quote is that it portrays his association with Moonlight was all negative, when we know he holds the actors he worked with (Sophia, Jason, Shannyn) in high regard.
But he's soooo cute. I love the way he gets so enthused by his characters!
