Only a compelling script could have prompted me to return to acting. It's a huge step as I have always played progressive protagonists in the 24 years I have been in the industry. I was also apprehensive about returning to TV as I have heard from friends that the work ethics and hours have become horrible. But a challenging and unique script was enough to lure me back. It will be a culture shock for my audience to see me in a negative role, but it's time I did that."
