Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived.

On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.

Being on a show with a female lead is amazing for me. I love that. I love the powerful woman who's complicated. There's no push to be one thing or another thing. It's all human. That's what you look for as an actor: characters written and portrayed in the most human way possible.
