Interview  |  David Franklin
Manipulative motivations

Picture What's your idea of Braca's real character?

He�s a man whose mission is to tiptoe through the minefield of various alliances as a Peacekeeper, and to not only survive but thrive. Power, you know, is quite an aphrodisiac. He�s a political animal.

Was it difficult to keep Braca such a consistent character when he didn't have a lot of screen time?

Well, that was very frustrating to start with. About halfway through season two David Kemper came up to me and said, "I love what you�re doing, I�ve got big plans for you." And I though, "Yeah, yeah".

Sure enough, there�s been an arc and a growth of the character, and you can see how Braca has matured and actually grown into his role as a Captain. He�s not just a manipulative slimeball who�s not capable. He�s actually proved himself to be capable. And the fact that there has been that growth, that�s kept me interested.

After what we've seen in season four, is there a shred of loyalty in Braca after all?

Well, where are you up to? Ah, in that case, all I say is a-hah!
