Lennie James

Lennie James: I'm pretty much a London boy, and it was a big enough city to try and conquer. I wanted to make movies obviously, but to come over here where there's so many people trying to do the same thing slightly frightened me.

Lennie James: (To the fans of Jericho) The only thing I'd like to say to the viewers is, regardless of, and I know viewing figures and all of that kind of stuff is important over here and helps make decisions, but one of the things that has certainly been in Jericho's favor is that regardless of what is on the other channels, there is a very strong, core audience that watch us every single week, and I'd just like to say thank you very much to those members of the audience who continue to watch us, and talk about us on the blogs, and come to CBS.com to find out about us and download the shows, because they make a huge kind of difference and say thank you for their loyalty, really.

Lennie James: I enjoy inviting audiences into the mind of my characters as much as into their stories. Even now, having this conversation, we know there's a million things that I'm not saying and it's the 'not saying' that is part of the journey.

Skeet Ulrich: (On James' character) I think we have similar rhythms and understandings and it's very natural working with him. It's clear when you're doing scenes with him that he has a point of view as to what the scene is really about for him and with the character.

Lennie James: (On his character in Jericho) It's like doing a Rubik's Cube where you have to put all your squares in the right position before they will all fit, and sometimes you have to move them out of order to be able to work them back in. That's how you do the cube. That's kind of how Hawkins' mind works.

Carol Barbee: (Jericho's execute producer on Lennie's role as Robert Hawkins) Lennie is a great dramatic actor, but he's also very funny and very friendly, and he has all of those facets to him that make him a great con man and we needed a great con man.
