To say that Lance Reddick is intimidating in person is, perhaps, the
understatement of the century. Maybe it's the characters he's so
expertly portrayed: Lieutenant Cedric Daniels on
The Wire, Matthew
Abaddon on
Lost, and most recently Agent Philip Broyles on
Fringe, none
of whom are exactly warm and fuzzy guys. Reddick exudes
professionalism, class, and a distinctly no-BS aura. Listening to him
speak, in his soft gravely tone about his craft and character, it is
clear you're not sitting with 'just an actor' but a thespian who really knows his stuff...and that's a wee bit intimidating.
Once my palms stopped sweating, I enjoyed every moment with Reddick. He
was a charming and open interview, answering each question thoughtfully
and in great detail. Reddick and I discussed conspiracy theories and
fringe science, what it's been like working with JJ Abrams again, what he thinks about the kiss he and Nina Sharp shared
during season 2's premiere episode and what attributes he shares with Agent Broyles. Watch my full interview with Lance Reddick below
and then be sure to tune in tonight to an all new episode of
Fringe.
