Thanks for sharing the interview! Here's the short little interview if anyone would like to read it. He has some really nice answers.

Quote:

How did you get involved with Pushing Daisies?
I've been doing movies for the past five years, and I wasn't really looking at doing television until this year, but I did work with Bryan Fuller on Wonderfalls, and I heard through the grapevine that Bryan Fuller had a new show, so I got a script from the manager. I read it, and I thought, this is actually really, really good. Then I talked to Bryan, and he told me, "You know, I kind of wrote the character with you in mind." And I was like, Oh, wow, that's never happened before.

That's so amazing.
Ned reads like the way I speak; we have the same speech patterns. So, I called my agents and my manager and I said, "I think this is really worth doing."
Two 2 (Countdown Numbers)

So, they fought you, or you fought them, or both?
Both. I remember one of them saying, "Doing television right now would be a deeply regrettable move." I just kept thinking, You know, if I'm tied up not doing movies for six years that means the show is a massive hit. And if that's the problem I'm dealing with six years from now, then I'll take it. I'll take it. But what really kind of tipped the scale is that it's good. Barry Sonnenfeld is directing it!

And the cast is great.
Every element has fallen into place. Everyone on the cast and crew gets along really, really well, we enjoy working together.

This show is love!
It's about love and life. It's about someone who can bring people back to life, but who can also inadvertently kill people. What I think we're going to see Ned gain through the course of the series is an appreciation for how good it is to be alive. That's the addition that Chuck makes to his life—it's good to be alive, it's good to be out of the Pie Hole, solving these cases. He learns how good life can be, how important this gift is.

I'm really looking foward to see more about this. Because everyone seems to think of how cool it is that he can bring people back to live, but in the process, he's killing a totally innocent person.

So true and I'm fascinated by how this has affected him and plays out, etc.

For sure.

And I never really thought about that aspect of it until I read that interview. I'm curious to see how this will continue to affect him as the season goes on. I'm sure Lee will do a great job portraying those scenes.

daritah · 09-28-2007, 05:19 AM

He's amazing

But yeah, it's interesting to see how those actions affect him, and how he'll deal with all of it

LoveIS · 09-30-2007, 09:02 PM

It is, I can't wait... he's a great actor

**kingjames23** · 10-02-2007, 08:32 PM

Add me to the list of supporters, please!

**Firestar007** · 10-02-2007, 11:16 PM

It's been a while since I've seen the Pilot so very excited to see it again and to fall for Ned all over again

fan110680 · 10-03-2007, 05:10 PM

This guy is cute!

I thought I'd missed the premiere when I read a review this morning. Glad to see I haven't!

lostaway04 · 10-03-2007, 05:51 PM

I'm watching the premiere right now and I am really liking Ned. Lee Pace is doing a great job so far at portraying him.

lavenderskies · 10-03-2007, 06:23 PM

Is there a supporters list?

I watched the premiere tonight without expecting anything, and Lee totally won me over. He's so adorable!

daritah · 10-03-2007, 08:37 PM

Lee is really adorable. Welcome everyone!

He was amazing as Ned... all his little quirks, like when he's talking to Chuck and he kind od half smiles.. that totally kills me.

**keep no score** · 10-03-2007, 09:49 PM

If a supporter's list is created, you can definitely add me.

Lee is absolutely adorable, Daritah. He did such a lovely job portraying Ned in this episode. Like you mentioned, his little quirks and small smiles are just gush worthy. Plus, I really like how he delivers his lines. Sometimes their quickly said, sometimes they aren't. Did that make sense?

I'm really excited to see how Ned is going to develop. Hands down, Lee Pace was the right choice for this role. He's going to excel beyond words.
