For some actors, longevity is great to have steady work, but for others, they may not necessarily agree with the long run. Would you personally want to play Lori for several more seasons?

You know what, I think about that a lot, and I feel like if something were to happen and God forbid the show was canceled, it wouldn't necessarily be bad news either way for me as an actor because there's always an opportunity to do something else. But I love the character and when you're an actor on a show, especially with everything going on right now with the strike, it's like I just feel so lucky that I'm on a show and that I'm on a show that I like to work on and that I like to play the character. It's definitely different than doing a film or a play because... develop a character over so much time that you know so well and you learn from. I feel like, in a weird way, because of the long run of a show, you sort of - I don't know. You get more in depth into the character than if you would if you worked on something for a couple of months.

I would love to play Lori for several more seasons, but if something happened and there are other opportunities, obviously that would be - it's always nice to do other things. Even now, I'm going back to class because... is tomorrow and I'm like I just need to break out of it. I need to do something else. I know her so well, it's getting so easy, so I want to keep my muscles strong, and I want to be able to stay versatile as an actor. I hope that answered your question.

Did the writers' strike have any effect on Kyle XY? We're getting a full season. Is that correct?

We have been picked up for ten that we start shooting in March. The writer, our writers are supposed to go back to work this month. If nothing is resolved in the next few weeks, we might have to postpone, but we're definitely going to have a season three at some point, and hopefully, if everything is resolved, we'll be able to stay pretty close to our shooting schedule. We were lucky. We were on hiatus anyway. So it hasn't really affected us, but if nothing happens in the next couple of weeks, then it might postpone things a little bit. But that would probably be the worst of it for us, as far as I know.

So it will affect season three then, if it has an affect - I guess what I was asking is so all of the episodes for the second half of season two are completed?

Yes. We finished shooting those the end of October, so anything that is about to air is done. It was definitely difficult the last couple episodes doing post production because a lot of our producers were writers, and they were like really, really dedicated to the cause. And they weren't even commenting on episodes until it was like they need to get these approved because of all the post stuff and the music, so I know that was really, really hard for a lot of our post production people. That might have affected the way that a few of them turn out, but you'll still get to see them all.
