In preparation for the shows debut this Sunday, the press had the opportunity to ask Jackie Earle Haley a few questions about his upcoming roll as Guerrero in Human Target.

Jackie: I just thought it was a real interesting, fascinating character, especially in this action-hero world. He's definitely an unhinged character, and that always fascinates me. It's a really fun process, working with these guys, in terms of figuring out exactly where we are going with them. It's a neat process, as every week a couple more little layers come to be. It's fun developing and getting to add some multi-dimension with this guy.

Q: How do you relate to both halves of this character?

Jackie: I'm not much of a computer geek, and I'm also not a tough guy, so maybe I like to do things that are opposite of me. I don't know. For some reason, the characters I play are really nowhere near me. I'm pretty much an amicable guy that tries to avoid physical conflict. I am an avid exerciser. I've done a lot of karate stuff, but that's more for fun and for physical fitness. I'm not out trying to get into fights.

Q: Since he seems so mysterious, what do you know about Guerrero?

Jackie: We're figuring that out as we go. What fascinates me about this whole TV world is the dimension to the character, the history behind the character, who he is and where he's been. We're layering that on, over time. More is revealed to me and then to the audience, and it's a neat process. It's not into complete focus yet for me, but it's getting there. With every week, every script and every conversation with the directors and the writers, it starts to get a little bit more interesting and a little bit more in focus.

Q: Can you talk about the dynamic between you, Mark Valley and Chi McBride?

Jackie: We have a blast, or I know I do. Working with everybody is great, but when Chi and I have our scenes, some days together are pretty neat. We were just shooting a sequence in an airport at midnight, on Saturday night. We're still having a blast out there. It's a lot of fun. It's a great experience.
