Read the phone conference with "My Own Worst Enemy" star Christian Slater!
Slater talks about playing to characters in the same body - Edward, an operative who speaks multiple languages and Henry, a married man (to Madchen Amick). He talks about his favorite actors in the spy genre, the show's twists and turns as well as the projects he is most proud of in his career.
The show has its series premiere on Monday, October 13th on NBC at 10/9C. Jason Smilovic ("Lucky Number Slevin") is the executive producer. David Semel directs for Universal Media Studios.
What's the show about?
Henry (Slater) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with his wife, Angie (Madchen Amick), their two kids, a dog, and a minivan, Edward (Slater) is an operative who speaks nine languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill. Albright works at Janus Headquarters for Mavis Hellar (Alfre Woodard), a tough, extremely intelligent woman with a hidden compassionate side. Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common - the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerous out of his element.

Samuel Goldwyn Films has picked up U.S. distribution rights to the drama "American Violet" which Tim Disney helms.
Written by Bill Haney ("The Price of Sugar"), the film is based on true events and tells of a mother in Texas who's mistakenly swept up during a drug raid.
Alfre Woodard and newcomer Nicole Beharie star. Also in the cast are Tim Blake Nelson, Michael O'Keefe and Charles S. Dutton. This is apparently due for release by Samuel Goldwyn Films in March next year.
The studio has a strong reputation with some indie gems on offer, the most recent including "Trumbo," "2 Days in Paris," "Fugitive Pieces," "Goya's Ghosts" and the recent box office surprise "Fireproof" starring Kirk Cameron which is still enjoying the fruits of its labor.
Even though Dee has no prior drug record and no drugs were found on her in the raid or any subsequent searches and her indictment is based on the word of a single and dubious police informant facing his own drug charges -
