I was approached by a good friend of mine, Carey Meyer, who’s a production designer on Buffy. We worked together and were good friends for many years.
When they were doing Angel, Carey was asked by the producers to design the very first permanent sets. Then they were looking for a designer to take over the show so Carey called me and said "Listen, I’d like you to come do the show here, I know the way you work and I trust you."
I came in and met with David Greenwalt, Kelly Manners and Joss Whedon. They looked at my portfolio and saw that I had a similar background to what they were hoping to achieve. They thought "Might as well entrust the show to him as well as anybody else." It seemed I had something that they thought was worthwhile tapping into.
How did you come to work on Angel?
