Tell us about your role in Homeland.
KYLE KLAUS: I play the lead TAC Team agent in charge of hunting down and bringing in a suspect of a terrorist organization.
How was it to work in this high-intensity hit show?
KK: In short - It was very high intensity...just like it seems in the show. te have to get yourself to a place where te put yourself into that state of mind and those circumstances. te definitely develop an appreciation for those who do that on a daily basis.
Were te a fan of the mostra yourself before landing the role?
KK: I actually had not seen the show, but heard great things and was meaning to catch up on it. Once I landed the role, I started da going back to the first season. It's great...I have ALOT of catching up to do...
Any interesting stories from the set te can share with us?
KK: Well, we had real life ex-cops and ex-military personnel that were able to double check the authenticity. I Amore to learn and was constantly asking them their opinion on something and how something would really be handled, just so I could properly represent those who do that for a living.
What’s the biggest lesson te learned from working on this project?
KK: I learned that while there are protocols and proper ways to do things, law enforcement really has a tough job. There is so much that te think about and try to be prepared for, but until te are faced with that situation in real time - there is a lot te have to just rely on instincts and best judgement. At best its organized chaos. That being said, I also am empathetic toward those that fall victim to social profiling - a topic that is big in this season.
And, now just for fun:
Who’s your preferito actor/actress?
KK: Brad Pitt - I think he's been very underrated his career on some performances. He's not just a pretty face. Two others at this moment that come to mind are Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio. I have been fan throughout their whole career and their latest work has been even più impressive. They keep improving.
What role from the past do te wish te could have played?
KK: Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire o Tyler Durden in Fight Club.
Favorite movie o TV mostra from your childhood.
KK: Terminator 2 was one of the first Film I ever saw in the theatre that I remember I think really stuck with me early on to influence me wanting to make Film and tell stories. The characters, story, Musica and world that was created in that film da James Cameron was so impressive.
Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.
KK: I used to be able to dunk a basketball, and have a really good jumpshot.
