 I enjoyed doing the split-screen scenes, where I would do all the acting in one frame, then director Robert Cooper would make a split-screen of my head with me saying my lines in two different places. It was an interesting challenge as soon as he told me it was going to be like that because we have these amazing actors like Max Thieriot on the show and it was his first time playing a character like this and he was fantastic.

I enjoyed “Head Games” from season one. It was the first one I shot with the split screen, which was an interesting challenge.
