Please read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/examiner\/x-3767-Celebrity-QA-Examiner~y2010m5d18-Bradley-Whitford-and-Colin-Hanks-play-opposite-cops-in-The-Good-Guys\" target=\"_blank\">full interview<\/a> on the website of the Examiner.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> [&#8230;]\n<strong>What is it about your character that attracted you to take the role?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hanks:<\/strong> Brad, do you want me to buy you some time?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whitford:<\/strong> No, I was just going to say lusty, unhinged, post alcoholism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hanks:<\/strong> OK. So much of the stuff that I end up sort of reading for or people want me [to read] for is the sort of same guy surrounded by a bunch of crazy people, and this was not necessarily that dynamic. This was much more of a two-hander between two guys who are both equally flawed in very, very different reasons, for very different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>And more importantly, Jack was the guy that spoke back. He talked back to people. It wasn\u2019t just him reacting all the time to, &#8220;Why are you so crazy? Why can\u2019t you be normal?&#8221; Jack actually has an attitude toward Dan sometimes, and he lets Dan know when he\u2019s not happy. I like being able to read a character that actually stood up for himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colin, a lot of times actors take things from their own life to their characters. Do you think as a newly married man, that will affect your character on &#8220;The Good Guys&#8221; at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hanks:<\/strong> No, not at all. I think really it\u2019s personality more than anything else and life experiences for sure, but Jack is not nearly as emotionally and relationship balanced as I am. And there\u2019s a lot of comedy gold out there to be found in terms of Jack\u2019s inability to maintain a relationship and his sort of will-he-won\u2019t-he relationship with Jenny Wade\u2019s character, Liz. So, I don\u2019t think me being married will really affect Jack too much, but it\u2019ll definitely make me feel a whole lot better about making a fool out of myself at work knowing that I\u2019ve got a wife back home who cares for me deeply no matter how big of a fool I make out of myself.
