If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him.
I think we have to face right in the center of the hurricane, if you will, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s foibles and faults.

When we did the pilot, I sort of pictured this guy pirating a signal and then this story unfolding of him building this satellite and these robots and watching these bad movies.
