“I think we’re not trying to hide the fact that this is the beginning of Cable and absolutely not the end. I think when you’re sensitive about how you appreciate it. When you’re sensitive about how you reveal this character there’s a sense of mystery in it, so then when we finally get intoX-Forcethat you’re going to be with this guy full blown all the time. There’s a lot to be revealed.”
