When you're directing an ongoing series, the tone has already been set. So a director will come in and fulfill that tone - reinforce the characters and their behavior. The challenge is to find unique ways that you can visually tell the story while keeping the established tone and the pace and the characters.

My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.
