TAC - You've had some small-screen roles as well. You were in Smallville and One Tree Hill. What's the transition like between small and big screen?

SF - Oh, it's night and day. In TV, you have 8 days to pump out 45 minutes – so almost half a movie whereas with a 90 minute film, you've got three months, so the character development isn't as strong. You don't has as much time to devote to getting into your character as in a film. You have about eight pages a day to shoot as opposed to two or three pages in a movie.

When it's like that, you don't get to be as specific as you'd like and you don't get to devote as much of yourself as you'd like to the role. It's more about getting it done, than getting it good.
