Alexis Denisof: (On what boarding school life was like) Well, it was a big change. I was 13 years old, and going away to school would be a change for any 13 year old – but to go from Seattle, Washington, to Concord, New Hampshire, was a big change geographically and culturally. And then also the kind of intense type academic environment that Ivy League boarding schools create was a big change. It's all at a formative time in your life, so on the one hand I treasure the time that I had there, and am very grateful for all of the values and educational opportunities it provided. It was also in some ways a shock to the system.
Alexis Denisof: It's just that there's something greater than the sum of the parts, when things are going well. That's what I like, that's what I hope to tune into when I'm working, is the sort of unknown. It's the magic part that enters a scene when the actors and the writers and the director have all done their work, and then they're able to let the magic unfold.
