MW: Doing well, super excited to talk to you today, I would love to hear your thoughts about being a part of S. RA: Oh honestly I'm super excited to be a part of it.
It's been quite a few years since I worked with Shemar and when I got the call that I got this job, I was just so excited to be working with him again. MW: You were husband and wife on Criminal Minds , now you're back together.
What's it like to come on set and already have that chemistry with someone? RA: You know the work is easy and fun, there's just a sense of comfort there and we just know each other. I think it was just 'ok let's do this' kind of get right back into where we left off.
MW: Obviously you two are very familiar with each other, what about the rest of your cast mates, what's your experience been like meeting everyone else in the cast and the crew? RA: I actually haven't met too many cast members. My scenes so far have only been with Shemar, but the directors are great, the crew, everyone there just seems to have a lot of fun and they're relaxed, but they get the work done.
