2013-09-24 10:28:49Q: @CMVeronelli asked: How do you create your characters? Do you have a method? #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:30:59A pt1: “I’m a slave to the script. It all starts there and becomes a conversation w/ the writer, director and their imagination.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:32:01A: Pt 2: “The last piece of work is what the character’s voice is and the responsibility on my part.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:32:11Q: Karrie LaCombe Livingston asks: How much research do you have to do for a role like this? Or do you just improvise? #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:35:31A: Pt1:“It’s different with every role for me. The research also has to serve the material.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:35:59A: Pt 2: “If it’s a world that’s foreign to me I want to explore the outer reaches of that world.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:36:15A: Pt 3: "With #TheBlacklist I read the paper every day to help shape Reddington. The paper every day is the world this show lives in.”
2013-09-24 10:36:54Debra J. Wagner asks, Are you inspired by the other actors on the show? #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:38:55A: Pt 1: “In many ways Reddington is isolated. A great deal of what I do on the show is based on Megan and her character.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:39:50A: Pt 2: “Trust is a rare indulgence for both of them. It’s reactive on both sides.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:40:00A: Pt 3: Pt 3: “It’s a very interesting relationship between the two of them. She’s the most significant person to him.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:40:10Packie Wambaugh asks, Raymond Reddington vs. Alan Shore—who would win? #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:41:31A: Pt 1: “Oh boy, wow. Raymond Reddington without question. They actually might enjoy each other’s company.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:41:50A: Pt 2: “I can’t think of anyone that Raymond Reddington would want to represent him more than Alan Shore.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:42:08Q: Chris Berck asks, Which of all the characters that you’ve played do you relate to the most? The least? #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:45:54A: Pt 1: “It’s part of the job description to relate to all of them. The roles that're successful are when you’ve related well." #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:46:20A: Pt 2: “Certainly W. N. Bilbo in Lincoln. I must say I would’ve had fun playing him for a longer period of time.” #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:46:33A: Pt 3: “There’s a lot of fun to be had with Reddington. This experience has resonance." #AskSpader
2013-09-24 10:47:03A: Pt 4 “In hindsight, it’s the experience of making the damn thing and not the experience itself that resonates with me and stays with me."
2013-09-24 10:47:30Matt Haver asks, Regarding Reddington…what real life criminals did you study in prep or which ones did you “channel”? #AskSpader
