Q: How did you come into this?
A: There were some meetings and lunches about the concept but they didn’t have script yet. I read the comic book and fell in love with it. It had so many levels and so much depth. Then I read Gil’s (Grant, executive producer) first episode and I wanted to come on board as co-executive producer.
Q: Is there anything that can kill Jane?
A: You’ll have to stay tuned to find out. (Loken laughs.) She’s actually learning as the audience does, and so am I. She’ll continue to test herself to see how far she can go. I do know that. What will stop her? Who knows?
Q: Do you like that the role is so physical?
A: Yes. I’ve done a lot of action movies and I do a lot of my own stunts. I love the physicality of it. I’m doing most of my stunts for the show.
Q: Do you ever get hurt?
A: Sometimes, but we’re careful. Pain works for the character. That is what makes her so human. There’s also kind of sadness about her and what’s happening to her. You have to wonder does this come from what happened in her childhood or does it have something to do with her family? So pain, not just the physical but the emotional, is very much a part of who she is.
Q: Do you ever feel typecast with these tough roles?
A: I’ve had a lot of fun and diversity in my career. Maybe this is my niche, and I love it. I enjoy working with weapons, the travel and all of it. I like that she’s tough and knows what she wants.
Q: Do you do a lot of training for the physical part of what you do?
A: Oh, yes. I train all the time and I have to take good care of myself to keep the energy up. I have to look at my body as kind of an instrument. I think it’s something most actors have to do. It’s a part of the job.
