Interviewer: We now know that Joe Carroll coming back. I believe it's
been revealed Claire is also on her way back.
Kevin Bacon: Well, you're going to have to see the first episode of
next year, to get full confirmation on that one.
Interviewer: I see. My question for you is going to be how much you
knew, at the time, about the finale? Who among the colleagues wasn't coming
back?
Kevin: Yes, I knew.
Interviewer: I feel like, by the way, between you getting stabbed and
your wife cutting off her finger [inaudible 0:00:26].
Kevin: I know, we need to stay away from that knives. It's true. It's
a good point.
Interviewer: When your time jump is coming up, where we going to find
Ryan, when we see him again?
Kevin: Well, Kevin has envisioned a happier Ryan. A guy that has kind
of pulled is life together in the face of this horrible tragedy and
personal injury.
He has cleaned up. He kind of went down the rabbit hole for a while.
Now, he's pulled himself together. He's stopped drinking. He's at a fairly
happy place in his life. But, as is always the case with the character,
like this, there are some dark secrets that are kind of looming underneath.
I think those secrets will slowly reveal themselves.
Interviewer: He killed in cold blood in season one. In some ways, you
almost see Hardy and Carroll becoming more similar, than we thought they
might be in the beginning?
Kevin: Well, one thing that's interesting is that when, remember Joe
Carroll was a professor, and that's what I'm doing at the beginning of
season two. I'm actually teaching.
Look, the two characters have always... I don't know if they've
always been necessarily similar, but I think that I have always, in some
ways, had this kind of strange aspiration to be more like Joe.
He's a people person, which I'm not. He's an intellectual. Which I'm
not. He's well read. He's charming. He has followers. I don't know how to
work a room the same way that he does. That's always been an interesting
part of that.
