Check out this great interview with Cam featured in the new issue of Watch! Magazine, wherein he talked about his upcoming TV series, Reckless, fatherhood, and more.
Watch!: People always ask why you’re so good at playing villains, but it seems like Roy is one of the good guys.
Cam: He is a pretty good guy, damn it! Bad guys are always fun to play, but he is a good guy—a man who’s just trying to do the right thing. At least what he believes is the right thing, which is equally fun, you know? It’s not like he’s a goody two-shoes, and if something needs to be done, he’ll do it. He has a different moral center than some of the other characters I’ve played, but he’ll still handle it as a man, which is what I respect.Watch!: Is that what attracted you to the role?
Cam: There were many different things. He’s at the top of his game—and I never got to play anything remotely similar to a lawyer, so it was a nice change of pace. And on top of that, when you think of typical lawyers, everyone has his clichéd version, but my character is the opposite of what a lawyer actually is. That’s what really drew me in: He’s a guy who has his own issues, dealing with his own things, doesn’t have it all figured out, but just a guy who likes to go fishing, hang out with his buddies, have a couple of beers and who likes to be a lawyer on his off time.
