Television and Cinema Verities


"My original vision for V was something different from what the show has become. I’ve been with it since its inception, and my idea for it as a series was that it could be sort of like Mission: Impossible mixed with a little Hill Street Blues, suspense combined with interrelationships between the eleven main characters.  I really felt that it would be more effective if, instead of smashing heads, we used intrigue and disguises and infiltration as our main weapons.”
