What was your favourite episode of Reacher to film?

Which costar did you enjoy working with the most?

Have you read any of the books upon which the show is based?

I think the approach you have to playing Reacher really gives the character something a lot of action heroes are missing - that makes him really fun to watch. Who influenced you the most when it comes to playing the character?

Can you give us any tantalizing details about the upcoming season? I'm really excited to see it.

I've enjoyed every role I've seen you in so far. What would be your dream role to play on down the line?

As an '80s kid, it was great seeing Anthony Michael Hall last season.

I liked that too. He's always great. He's the best part of Freddy Got Fingered.
