Last question: Now that Malone has left the SEC, I’m assuming the recurring role Neal McDonough (Justified) has been cast in, Sean Cahill, is his replacement? So he’ll be doing Woodall’s bidding.
He is the new Malone at the SEC. You and I have discussed Justified — I’m a Justified fan as you are. Just in talking about the role with Neal, I discussed how much I loved him on Justified [as Detroit gangster Robert Quarles]. I kinda said, “Look, it’s not dissimilar: We’re a Western just like that is, and you’re the hired gunman coming to town to come after Harvey just like you came after Raylan. It’s just you’re a lawyer instead of a gunman.” I think he’s gonna be great.

I’m hoping the character is a little intense and crazy. How would you describe it?
[Laughs] I don’t know if he’s crazy. But he’s got a swagger, and a confidence, and he’s intelligent. He’s got a job to do, and he’s not afraid of Harvey. I would say that.
