Post Mortem Interview

What did you think about the show’s choice to not depict the suicide itself?

I think that was the right thing to do. The show is so smart, and it does such a good job of peeling the layers. The show’s about understanding people’s complexities, and I think not showing Ryan jumping off the building is totally in line with the tone of what the show would do.

When did you find out this was in the cards for Ryan?

I knew it was a limited arc, but I didn’t ever know how it was going to end. I think that Ryan is a guy who’s so devoted to his work, so devoted to his ambition that this was his only option. It might seem peculiar for a lot of other people, but I think Ryan really believed in what he was doing and what technology meant for the world, and when it was taken from him, this was his only option.

How did you react when you found out he would take his own life?

I knew that Ryan was a very internal, withdrawn, but also very brilliant young man. When I first joined the show, I knew that he had these wide ideas, these ways of revolutionizing Mutiny and taking it to the next level, and I could tell from the dialogue that he was a young man of passion. So at the end of the season, I got a call from [Halt creators Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers] telling me how he was going to leave the show, and at first I thought, “There’s got to be another option for this guy.” Why doesn’t he just go to jail? Or why doesn’t he take Joe’s advice and run away? But those are not things that somebody like Ryan would even consider. It’s hard for him to think like everybody else, to think rationally when he’s in this grave danger, when the cops are after him, when his lifeblood is being taken from him.
