Colin has very few lines of dialogue, so when he speaks its always impactful.
What is Colin saying with his silences?Hes always there; hes always watching.
I think Colin has to be omnipresent.
Hes an interesting character because he doesnt need to speak all the time.
He carries the weight of Logan.
You share some tense scenes with Kendall.
How do you interpret Colins relationship with Kendall?That goes back.
My backstory for Colin is that hes military police when he was picked up by Logan.
He has seen the shenanigans Kendall and the other children have been involved in.
The way Colin speaks to Kendall hes very wary of him.
What is the atmosphere shooting scenes like this?Very, very tense.
The encounter is strongly echoed early in season three,when Kendall returns to the office.
Colin gets very close to his face and says, I know you.
It visibly rattles Kendall.
When I got to set, Jesse said, Maybe say nothing because your presence is so strong.
We worked it a couple of times, and when I said that, it was the last take.
It was like Hey, why dont you lean into him and say that line?
Jeremy wasnt prepared for that.
Colin is thinking about how he can direct Kendall without being too powerful.
Thats why I went with the whisper, and I made that decision at the last second.
How did you react to reading that moment for Colin?I love that episode.
You have so many intimate moments with Logan in that episode.
How has that relationship developed?Over time, its the trust I have with Brian.
He and I worked from the pilot.
As far as Colin is concerned, I think he has a respect for Logan.
Theyre both self-made men in a way.
Colin feels accomplished; he likes his job, and hes loyal to Logan.
Episode to episode, even if its a look that Logan gives Colin, there is that mutual respect.
Working with Brian, Colin working with Logan I think its a very similar dynamic.
In the beginning of that episode, Colin is pulling a boot onto Logans leg.
Brian came to me and said, I dont think I would talk to Colin that way.
Have you imagined what his life outside of working for Logan is?I have thought about that.
I think hes so loyal that he lives through his work.
Ive not necessarily spoken to Jesse about this, but I feel hes really married to the job.
Of course, he has a life, but hes more dedicated to the job at all times.
The show is in many ways about power and getting ahead.
I think hes very content!
