How do you feel your role on Angel has evolved?

I joined as a part-time cast member in season two, and I felt like part of the family the entire time because they accepted me with open arms. But now we're at a point where everybody's so comfortable with each other. That's a good feeling, and I think that all of those things play into the show.

I hope that it comes across to the viewers, because I put in a tape the other day from two and I thought, "Wow, I look really uncomfortable with myself." Hopefully it didn't come across to others, but I know myself better than anyone. Now we are all so comfortable, and I think the chemistry between us all comes across in the scenes. Everybody gets along.

I play a character who's very light for a dark show. Lorne, with his bright suits and all that, is just so different from Angel. He's always in black, and he's dark and you can count the number of times he laughs in an episode on one hand, whereas Lorne's always cracking jokes. It's fun to play a role like that and I think it's cool to see the mix of the two.
