- Has working on the show encouraged you to work behind the scenes at all, like producing or directing? Are these things you would be interested in doing over the course of the series?

Definitely, I feel like I’m working as a producer already on the show, its just a constant involvement.

Which is really nice cause I do really care about the show, in a different way than everyone else does obviously. I never wanted to direct before, but during the first season of Nikita it was the first time I felt like I wanted to do that, and it may be on the show it may not be on the show.

- Well it's just been picked up for a second season in American, do you know how far the series has been planned?

Well the creator (Craig Silverstein) has definitely had his ideas about what he wants all the way to series 3, he has some big plans and he knows what will happen.

- How does it feel to get such a good response? Considering so many shows are cancelled, especially new ones.

Your right, everyone is feeling really grateful now, kind of looking forward to it. We do have so much story to tell so it would have been a shame to not come back, so we’re all really happy.

- So what are you focusing on at the moment, have you got any film roles planned or is it just Nikita that your doing?

Oh god I wish I had time to think of anything else but what I’m doing, but the plan is always to do a film on the break, and this past break I had a film come out, and I was promoting the show so its been really busy for me.

So the next time I would be doing anything is after second series because we start shooting very soon, in early July.
