[To date, Shane Mungit remains Weller's] most interesting role. I thought Richard [Greenberg] did an amazing job of writing such a strangely sympathetic, but dangerous, narrow-minded young man. He was an amazingly complicated character. ... I just worked on the sympathetic part. To me, what made that character wonderful was his intense, emotional need. That was the main challenge.
