Toby Stephens is a saint. Just the amount of stunt work and stunt rehearsal and four pages of dialogue with intense emotional revelations and turns and he never once broke, never once questioned it, and at every moment was just as pleasant as he is today. So, it’s easy to overstate how important it is to have a person in the center of the show and the cast who holds it all together. This show would have been a complete disaster without him. – Jon Steinberg, co-creator/executive producer
