Pope challenged me to dig into myself in ways I didn’t know I could, and each time I thought we hit the bottom, the character revealed undiscovered pockets of profound emotion lodged inside his soul. The writers, directors, cast and crew helped create this complex character because trust is king in this process. I always felt safe to dig, explore, take risks and sometimes even fail... and for that I sincerely thank everyone involved. To the loyal AK fans who’ve been here all along... thanks for rooting for us, and if you see J out there please put him in a headlock for me. See you on the next one! Love, Shawn
