I believe you've just been promoted. What will that mean to your work?
It’s probably less a promotion and more a deal with the studio.
20th Century Fox produces Angel, and the way shows work is, they’ll hire you onto a series and they’ll have an option on you for a certain amount of years. I think this season coming up would have been the end of their option on me, they had a two-year option on me from when they originally hired me.
So what they do with writers that they’ll sign them to an overall deal which pretty much sews them up for whatever show they’re on, to make sure that the studio has them after their initial options have expired. And it also allows the writer to work with the studio in developing new things.
That’s pretty much what’s happened with me and Fox. So if something were to happen to Angel, which it won’t, they would still own me and they could put me on, you know, Judging Amy [a mainstream family drama] or something.
