It seems like after Kitchen Confidential you were concentrating on films. What was it about Flash Forward that made you consider signing up for another TV series?
Cho: David Goyer. I just really liked his work. And then his script was incredibly thought-provoking, and you don’t often come across that in television. I wasn’t planning on doing TV, but the script was very engaging and I said, “Let’s do it.” I talked to him about the direction of my character, and I thought it was interesting.
Give us a feeling for the show and how you fit in.
Cho: Joseph Fiennes and I are FBI agents. I’m trying to think about what I can tell and can’t tell, but in the pilot we are chasing would-be terrorists, and there is an event where everybody in the world blacks out [for two minutes and 17 seconds], and everyone simultaneously experiences a vision of their own personal future. So the series is concerned with figuring out how it happened and what it means.
And your character?
Cho: I’m about to get married, and there are a lot of life questions that come up as we try to investigate this happening.
Goyer’s co-creator and co-executive producer is Brannon Braga, who has a long history with Star Trek. Have you picked his brain at all?
Cho: I haven’t talked much with Brannon [yet]; more with Goyer. David is a thinker. My sense of David is he’s just one of the most well-read and curious people I’ve ever met. He’s engaged in all kinds of disciplines and is a very interesting fellow.
