hospital, this new age hospital where this is set. i'm very excited to see how this show is received by america. >> you know, um... i understand about uh, the transplant technology. baltimore's home to johns hopkins and the university of maryland hospital which have pioneered a lot of the techniques and/or treatments before and after. >> and the multiple ones. the ones that lead to another that lead to another that lead to another. >> i was just curious about, when it comes to a tv series, did you ever think to yourself when your agent came to you "are we here on tv series yet?" >> as an actor, the artistic vision doesn't necessarily belong to me. i have to know that the producers have a vision for the future. it was very clear to me that there were many stories to be told in this script that i read

for three rivers for the pilot. and because it's, it's told from, it's different we tell it from three points of view. the donor, recipient and the medical team. i've never seen a medical show told like this before. >> wow. >> yeah. >> as an actor changing roles. does it seem ironic for you? going from being a famous vampire to being somebody who saves lives? >> i was going to say yeah, and i go from someone who drinks buckets of blood to someone who paddles around and plays in blood. [talking simultaneously] >> i didn't expect to get into all that blood. >> it's quite a difference in role. >> in all seriousness, it is a different role. that's um, as an actor, that's all i can hope for is to do

roles that are as different from one, from one to the next as possible. i mean, my dream career is to just to constantly play, play roles that are antithetical to one another and be as diverse and transformational as i can be. as i get older and better at what i do, hopefully that will happen more and more. >> you know, it's great, we've been battling this like two second satellite delay and the three of us have proved we're television geniuses pulling this off. >> congratulations, gentlemen, you've done well. >> good luck on the series. three rivers. as we would say in baltimore, you're a right guy. you passed the audition, you're back any time. >> thank you. >> see you later. >> that is really cool. but you know what that reminds
