Beaks: How have you been…? I assume busy with the show.
Roth: We have not stopped. We have very long hours and days, and I don’t get much sleep. I’m very, very busy, but I’m not sure that I mind being busy. We just got picked up yesterday for the back nine, so we’ll probably go until April.

Beaks: I saw that. Congratulations. Now last season was just a half-order. This season, you’ve got a full order. You say you don’t mind being busy, but can you imagine yourself doing this for a few more seasons?
Roth: I don’t know, man! (Laughs) Well, they’ve got me! It’s whether they want me or not. It’s taking stamina, this one, and I’m taking it each block at a time. We’re going to do twenty-two, and we just now finished episode eleven; we finished it at midnight. And then you get up in the morning and start another one. I kind of sat in the trailer yesterday and said, “You know, if we do get our pickup, I’m only at the halfway mark. Last season, I was almost finished.” It’s pretty extraordinary to think about. You try and pace yourself. But do I think it would be good to be around? Yeah, I do. If you can do this, you can do anything.

Beaks: I know a lot of people were excited when THE SHIELD’s Shawn Ryan came on as the show runner. What’s your working relationship like with him? And what about writers Liz Craft and Sarah Fain?
Roth: Oh, well, I love them. The girls! I call them “the girls”. I can’t help myself, but they’re fantastic… Shawn brought this kind of calm, but incredibly solid and muscular presence to the show – and he brought along his writers that he likes to work with, too… Suddenly, with Shawn around, you find you have more to play, and the stories are muscular and tighter…. We’ve found our feet, and found a way of telling these stories. I think, as the season progresses, that will become evident.

Tim goes on to talk more about why he hopes the show continues, what he’d like to see in the future with it, and other work he may have coming up. So head over to Ain’t It Cool to read the rest of the interview.
