[Jack Nash from The Andromeda Strain] was not in the original film, but he was kind of a Geraldo Rivera almost kind of reporter that had a drug addiction. We start the story in rehab, and then he gets the roots of the story. I loved him.

[Jack Nash] was very different than anything I’d played. In fact, there’s a scene I have in a tent with Louis Ferreira, who just did an episode of Travelers.

Perception was a different show than Will & Grace.
