'Elementary' is a strong show; we watch it almost religiously in our house.

I liked dark, urban stories like 'Peter Gunn,' which was a detective series on network TV when I was a little boy. I grew up in a farmtown in the Midwest where not much exciting happened. I liked the idea of lives lived at night and the shadowy characters who lived in that demi-monde.

I'd really like to play a character who's inarticulate. I always play people with language. It would be good to play a mute or a fool or a saint.
