If you get one of these new scripts do you pour through it right away and say, "Uh oh. Am I gonna die in this episode?"
WS: Absolutely. I hate to admit it. Some of these wonderful actors admitted they wanted to see how long their characters' survived. But one stays ready for the inevitable and in spite of having nightmares of inadequacy I'll be alright. I worked with Tommy Lee Jones a lot - six jobs I survived . He said "We'll be alright if we die tomorrow." He also said I had a lot to be humble about.
Well at least if you died on this show, theoretically you could come back as a vampire. Would you want to play a vampire on the show?
