I’ve always been interested in forensics and the way they solve things.
Meeting forensic patients for the first time could occasionally be an unnerving experience. They often came across as mild and gentle people, but the details of the crimes were harrowing in the extreme.
I think there are lots of those moments when we meet people – listeners at a meet-and-greet – and they tell us that they’ve changed their major to forensic science, or criminal justice, or they’ve become a victim’s advocate.
Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows… I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.
The long, forensic interview really matters.
‘Forensic Files’ is amazing! I love it! There were marathons happening all the time in college. That show, because it’s always on at night, was always better than any scary movie I could put on, because it was ‘real.’

I think I may be the perfect audience search for Quibi, because I’m a very bite-size kind of person. I can’t actually watch long things. The most I can watch is a little episode of ‘Forensic Files,’ and anything longer than that is too much.
I remember when I was 12, talking with my friends about what we wanted to do with our lives, astronauts, forensic detectives, all these different jobs. And the only thing I could think was an actor.

I’ve been on this kick reading about the beginning of forensic science: autopsies, fingerprinting, psychological profiling. I’ve been reading a lot of books about forensic anthropology.

In high school, I was doing a skit for forensics and people started laughing, more than I was prepared to deal with. It was a surprise.
