Carlo Rota

Carlo Rota: (On the criticism of the torture scenes in 24) I think it's an interesting point to bring up, but at the end of the day, 24 is a fantasy. I would be quite surprised if a person wakes up in the morning and decides he knows how to torture people because he's just seen 24.

Carlo Rota: I've played so many variations of bad people. I always end up torturing or being tortured or meeting some kind of sticky demise.

Carlo Rota: (Talking about his experience on the set of 24) I've got to say that the way they included me in that whole process, it was almost as if…I mean, first of all, I was lucky enough to be working with two fellow Canadians as well as the directors and the producers of the show, Brian Grazer, who I've worked with many times in Toronto and Brad Turner, who I've also worked with many times in Toronto. It was kind of like stepping into a set where I really knew people and the crew was very laid back, it was a very chill crew and it's not a stressed atmosphere on that show. Considering that they produce a show that is edge of your seat, it's not a stressed atmosphere, people work together really well. I think that the whole show is designed that way. People that don't fit in, they'll end up being killed, basically.
