The most unexpected reaction was that there was a reaction. I never would have guessed in a million years that people would really fall in love with this character the way they have, because Clem hasn’t had a ton of screen time.
As an actor, especially when you’re used to doing theatre and improv where the audience reaction is immediate, you know if what you’re doing is good immediately because you’re in front of a live audience. With TV, you don’t get that, so coming to these conventions and seeing some of the websites and the posting board parties and stuff like that is really great because you find out that what you’re doing, people really enjoy.
As an actor that’s what you’re out to do, to affect people, so the fan reaction has been so fantastic. It’s been great getting to meet people and just everybody loves the character, which is the best complement any actor can ever get.
What do you make of the fan feedback you’ve had?
