Watch with Kristen interviews Kevin Weisman about the ending of 'Alias'


V: Congratulations on your new baby! For you, it’s kind of perfect timing for Alias to end, because you can have a break, have more time to spend with him.

W: Yeah absolutely, I’m not really rushing to get back into anything per say, just because I want to kind of spend time with the baby and see what happens.

V: So did you learn anything from Marshall about fatherhood?

W: Good question!

V: It’s funny 'cause I feel like, didn’t I see you go through this before? And then I realize, wait, no that was on Alias!

W: Yeah, my mother was more excited ‘cause she was a TV grandma first and now a real grandma! But no, I mean, I definitely got to work with the baby a couple times and so yeah, the love I had for my TV son prepared me for the love I have [for my real life baby]. But no, I didn’t really change any diapers or anything.

V: People love Marshall. I was trying to think what would be a huge twist for the series finale. Marshall is a big, bad—

W: Right. Marshall’s really Rambaldi. I mean, you always wanna be likeable on television, because it’s not like a movie where you can play a bad guy for two hours and you’re done and you’ve moved on. But with television, it’s potentially long term employment, so you want your character to be likeable. Although you can look at somebody like Ron Rifkin, and Sloane certainly isn’t likeable, but in terms of a villain, he has some qualities that are likeable. You know, you have to have something. Whereas Marshall’s the other end of the spectrum. Like, the most liked human being in that he’s never done anything wrong, he’s never done anything bad. It’s true. God, in the finale, it’d be funny if like he was just graffiti-ing or something and they came in like ‘What’re you doing?!’ ‘I don’t know. I hate this sh*t, and I’m graffiti-ing the wall!’ I don’t know. You know, he just starts drinking. He’s an alcoholic and a gambler!

V: So how do you feel now that it’s ending?

W: You know, a lot of people ask that question like ‘Oh, it must be hard’ and it is. It’s definitely bittersweet, but I really feel like we’re going out on top. You know, it’s tough, we’re not getting the ratings that some of these other shows get, but we still have our loyal fan base, and I think ABC is honoring that, and honoring the fans by really promoting these last episodes -even though they cut our order down to seventeen, but anyway- But yeah, at least they really gave us enough notice and creatively, the end is amazing. I wish I could tell you and talk to you about it, because I think they really did a good job. It’s like insane what happens at the end, and you know, not everybody survives. That’s all I’m sayin’! Yeah, and it’s sad. You know, already people are getting a little nostalgic. Like ‘Oh, remember when we started?’ and we’ve gone through so many sets. We had SD-6 and we had The Rotunda and APO, and it’s really like the last few times at work, people are in kind of a nostalgic mode, even though we’re focusing on finishing the show. And I feel like everybody’s work has been really good. There’s something about seeing the finish line, like people are really jazzed and focused. The actors and the crew and everything, I just think it’s been a really positive environment. And you know, it’ll be sad, but like I said to you before, I think five years is a good run and it’ll live on in DVD. We told some great stories. You don’t wanna jump the shark or be that show that everybody’s like ‘Oh Jesus, are they really pullin’ that storyline out again?!’

V: So looking back is there any moment or episode that really stands out for you?

W: Well for me, personally, yeah. I think my quintessential episode was last year when I go and take Sydney out of the grave, and got to pretend to be Jack Bristow, and it was kind of a big mission episode for me. You know, for me, as an actor, that was probably my favorite. But I don’t know, for me, the thing that kind of stands out is that whole destruction of SD-6 in season two.

V: Right, when everything changed. Everything really did change. I love it when they say that about other shows and it’s like ‘Dude, watch the Alias Superbowl episode.’ It would be like if they blew up Wisteria Lane. Like no, it’s really different.

W: Exactly. That’s true. And you can say that I said that, cause that’s really funny.

V: What will you miss the most?

W: The paychecks. No! No, I think the cast. The cast is really amazing and I’m not just saying that. You know, people come onto the show and they’re just like ‘Wow, this cast is so great’ and I’ve worked on shows where people hate each other. I’m not gonna name any names. Not that they hate each other, but it’s just like an obvious tension or people just roll in to do their job and then go to their trailers. Whereas this is really a group of people that care about each other. Members of the cast were at my wedding and this is just a really good group and it’s hard when you move on. You definitely keep in touch with people, but at the same time, people have their lives, you’re going on to your other jobs and you’re not forced to see each other as much as you are when you’re working. I always look forward to seeing like Victor and Jen and just everybody. But I just learned a lot from Victor and Ron and Carl and these people who have just been in the business a long time, you know big theater actors, who were always professional and always brought such intensity, and it’s something I’ll carry with me, hopefully, to future jobs! And from Jen I learned just how to be a classy person. Just like, how to treat people with respect when you’re working and you know, when you’re in that position and you’re scrutinized so much, I’ve seen other actresses crack under the pressure, but she never really did. She’s very professional. And from these other actors who’ve really been in the business a lot longer than me, I just always really enjoyed working with them, because it’s like if you’re playing golf with Tiger Woods, you’re gonna try to bring your best game that day, and I always felt like the bar was set so high by everybody that I always wanted to really know my **** and focus and do it and not be lazy. And I never was lazy as a result of it. You know, I think over five years, it’s easy to get complacent when you’re doing something for so long. And you watch shows that’re on and you can just kinda tell that the actors don’t really care anymore.

V: What about a Marshall spin off? Marshall’s Law?!

W: I gotta be honest. I’m kinda ready to put Marshall to bed. He was a great character, and hopefully a classic in the annals of television! But I’m lookin’ forward to not having to part my hair to the side, and to not wear weird sweater vests or whatever. You know, he was a great friend. Marshall’s a friend. He’s a great little guy. But no, if ABC really wanted to do a Marshall spinoff... I joked with Victor Garber that we should do a Jack and Marshall spin off. Like an odd couple kinda thing. Somehow we had to live together and there’s just like a weird energy! Yeah, Victor, for some reason, was not that into it when I pitched it to him, but uh... But he was even saying, I don’t wanna misquote Victor, but he was saying going off and doing another show, it’s just not the same. You know, nothing will ever compare to the experience we had. Top notch crew and J.J. always wanted to hire the best, best cinematographer, best directors, so I think we really got spoiled.

V: What can you tease to?

W: Not everybody survives. And I think people will be taken aback by that.
