After your Oscar nomination, and with Watchman earlier this year, I was pretty surprised to see you all of a sudden jump to a TV series. What are your thoughts about doing a TV series, and are you still going to be able to develop your film career?
I sure hope so. That’s the plan. I really wanted to work on something that my 10-year-old could watch, so that’s part of it. In reading the screenplay for Human Target, I was just floored by it. It seemed like an incredible job to get to work with these guys. In talking with Jon [Steinberg, the producer] about what it would entail, I think what really excited me about it was getting to develop this character over time. I think that will be interesting and fun.
I’m hoping to grow as an actor. But obviously if the show is a success, it will take me out of [the loop] for months out of the year. But this show is like watching a movie in your living room.

I think I first came across your site via a link on Twitter.. Love the content I have seen so far and will absolutely revisit to read more soon. By the way, are you on Twitter?
It’s great to see Jackie Earle Haley working. I grew up watching him and often wondered when HOllywood would let him come into his own. His Watchmen character was well deserving of the Oscar Nom.
I wanted to watch Human Taget for Mark Valley, I miss Eddie Keen. What a wonderful surprise to hear another familar voice when I watched. It’s good to have you back fron and center Mr. Haley. My favorite scene so far is the episode where you shoot the suit in his back to protect Chance.
