The kind of study it did through the events shown in the show is phenomenal."

But, when I play a cop, who is empathetic, I am curious to see what impact it generates. I am also in a learning phase. Personally, if anyone walks up to me and tells me that he/she hated me in the show, I take it as a compliment and it feels like an achievement. I am lucky that my producers are getting their money back. I am always waiting to be surprised."
