It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. It's a very specific challenge, directing episodic television, and I was fortunate enough, ... right after doing Lord of the Rings, [to] observe Alex Graves on The West Wing for a week and to observe Alan Ball for a week on Six Feet Under and to observe Richard Lewis on C.S.I. I literally just sat there on the sets, watching these directors work and trying to get to know the powers-that-be so I could maybe get a slot on one of those shows. It's a very unique beast.
