Here is an excerpt from an interveiw with Freep.com.
QUESTION: Your character in "The Cape," Rollo -- he's a pretty colorful bad good guy?
ANSWER: Rollo, he's a thief, an opportunist -- not a good guy, but he's not like a super-bad guy either. The crew that (lead character Vince) Faraday falls in with are part of this dark carnival that's filled with seedy people. And they are petty thieves, bank robbers. And even though the Cape is a superhero, he's not stopping us from robbing banks.
Q: Did you take this project because you wanted work or have you always been attracted to genre stories like this -- comic books and science fiction?
A: What's really cool, I think, is that the world of this show isn't black and white. Like the actual cape itself, that's an object that's been around a long time, hundreds of years, and there's some kind of magic to it or something. We're not really sure how it works.
