Working can be stage work, film work, TV work. I’m told that good science fiction writing often involves peeling the onion, layer by layer, and releasing new pieces of information about the character that the audience wasn’t quite aware of, that creates a completely different picture at the end than the one you think you’re going to get, and that’s very much what we did with this season.

I think of it as Indiana Jones, if Indiana Jones was played by Don Knotts.”

FALLING SKIES’ Tom, on the other hand, has gone from being a history teacher to a guerilla fighter. But, he was one of the executive producers on E.R., so we go back aways. Certainly, the medical community would call up, every 11:01 pm on Thursday night, to tell us all the medical inaccuracies we had made on E.R., so to a certain extent, I’m aware of it.

It’s just when I’m working, or when I’m not working. You always know that that line of demarcation is out there, in your career, but you don’t really ever think it’s going to be thrust upon you as quickly as it is. When asked if the title refers to “straight” as opposed to “gay” or “straight” in the linear sense, Wyle laughs. The idea was that there was Captain Weaver, the character that Will Patton plays – the hard-line, career military man – who has a very dogmatic approach to efficiency and discipline, and my guy from the realm of academia has much more of a professorial attitude towards teaching and empowering.

I thought it was very clever, a very good script, and everybody was really on top of their game.”

With the introduction of apparently friendly aliens who oppose the invaders, Wyle has scenes with a character called Cochise, played by Doug Jones, who is known for his creature work (Pan and the Pale Man in PAN’S LABYRINTH, Abe Sapien in the HELLBOY films, etc.).

That was a character that was initially going to be completely [done as a computer-generated effect], and then the producer thought that they’d do me a solid, just because I have so many scenes with him, that they hired an actor just so that I wouldn’t have to act with a tennis ball on a stick. It’s almost astonishing, given the gamble that TNT is making on this show.

He also appears in the upcoming feature film THE WORLD MADE STRAIGHT. Many cuts of episodes come in and I think they play fine, and then he makes his cut and they turn into something even better than that. It’s got historical precedent.

Did carrying and using a gun come easy for you, or was that something you had to get used to?

WYLE: Well, I grew up playing cowboys and Indians, and gangster, in my backyard like other kids, so there was interest, if not aptitude. It’s based on a book by a Southern writer named Ron Rash, a crooked world made straight, not a gay world made straight.”
