- Bob Gunton: I come from theater, where theater is not bound by sort of linear, logical reality. It makes these huge leaps. I've done lots of plays where they'll be a bare stage, and if the actor told you he was in the middle of a jungle, okay, you're in the middle of a jungle. It's just how temporary suspension of disbelief works.
