AJ BUCKLEY
NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
by: Lisa Steinberg

Q. What are some of the recent projects that you've been working on?
A. I've got a movie coming out in the winter called Skateland with Ashley Greene and Shiloh Fernandez. It's a coming of age story set in the 70s/80s around this roller rink in Texas. My character owns the roller rink which happens to be called Skateland. It's this little independent film that I did last year and I really responded to the script and I am really excited that the film is going to be coming out.
Q. What was it like working with director Anthony Burns?
A. Really cool! Anthony Burns and Heath Freeman, Heath Freeman wrote it, those guys are just a bunch of good ole boys from Texas. Texans are some of the best people, they're just good people. It was a very laid back shoot and it was great to get out of the lab and really immerse myself in something else.
Q. What can you tell us is new this season on "CSI: NY" and with your character?
A. The season opener of the show opens with a bang to say the least. It explores the death of Angel and what people go through after her death. Mentally and emotionally what they do and what happened after that moment. I think this whole new season, for every character, we're going into the intricacies and peeling back the layers and having a better understanding of how these characters tick. Science will always be a huge character in the show but I think we're fortunate being in season six the audience cares about the characters and really wants to go inside their mind a little bit. We're on episode six right now and the scripts are just phenomenal this year for everybody. I get some love, Adam finally gets some love after five years, I can't say with who but I get some love.

Q. Where do you continue to draw from for your portrayal of Adam?
A. My inner dork! I am a dork at heart and I am always laughing at myself. I would say my inner dork is where Adam comes from.

Q. What about your role as Adam continues to challenge you?
A. I would say making science funny. "CSI: NY" is not a comedy by any means, but I am always told to make it funny. The challenge would be making a procedural drama funny.
Q. How does the cast continue to maintain such great chemistry together after six seasons?

A. I think it's how it's all run, between Pam Veasey and Peter Lenkov and all of the writers and everybody from there down, I think is just a really close group. Eddie, Hill, Carmine, and myself have become really good friends over the last couple of years. I really noticed it when I came back from break this year and saw everybody and realized how much I had missed them and how important everyone was to me. That goes right across the board to the crew, I was genuinely really excited to see everyone.

Q. How much input do you have when it comes to the writing and actions of your character?
A. Sam has an open door policy if you've got ideas and input. It's a really free environment as far as if you have ideas or concepts or feel like you want to take your character in a certain direction, they're always open to hearing it. I'd say I have a fair amount as far as if I don't like something, or if I am not particularly happy with something, which has never happened. I've always liked where Adam is going and I would just say we always meet in the middle.

Q. Why do you think viewers continue to tune in and watch the show?
A. I just think it's a really well oiled machine and these types of shows seem to withstand time, they just seem to last. I just think a lot has to do with the writing, it really come down to the writing and how they come up with it. Then the performances of the actors, I've been really fortunate to work with the actors on our show like Gary and Carmine, just really solid and well seasoned actors.

Q. Where can people go online to keep up with you and your upcoming projects?
A. They can go to www.ajbuckley.net.
Q. What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?
A. It means everything and I am flattered when I hear even word that there are fans out there. I'm like, "Really? That's so cool!" Thanks.

Once again this interview proves how much I freaking LOVE AJ! :adore::adore:
I think we certainly all have an inner dork AJ, and for some of here at TalkCSI, I think it shows a bit more often than not. XD

He can't say with who because it's [highlight]Adam's hot secret boyfriend from the club[/highlight] a mysterious new girl! :lol::lol:

 

[GregNickRyanFan]

Anyone wonder if they're gonna bring Kendall back and maybe that's who Adam is with?

Then again, he could just be teasing us and it could really just be that he's babysitting Lucy and has her sleeping beside him or something. :lol: Awww... wouldn't that be cute? I don't think we've seen Adam hold Lucy yet have we?

The love thing though- I do have a bit of a feeling that they'll hook Adam up with the new girl (unless they bring back Kendall).

 

[Faylinn]

Hmm, at this point I'm just waiting to see how it all turns out. Thanks for the info and the interview.

BTW, do I spy with my little eye a bit of Carmine fanboying in that interview? I believe I do.

 

[talkingtocactus]

^^ :lol:

Q. Where do you continue to draw from for your portrayal of Adam?
A. My inner dork! I am a dork at heart and I am always laughing at myself. I would say my inner dork is where Adam comes from.

aww that's cute!

A. I would say making science funny. "CSI: NY" is not a comedy by any means, but I am always told to make it funny. The challenge would be making a procedural drama funny.

and he succeeds! i love adam, he's very funny, but not in an annoying and contrived way, he's just sweetly funny.

That's what I love about AJ, he's so adorably humble! Some young actors act all high and pompous like, 'Yeah, those older, more experienced actors are okay, but I'm the next big thing for sure!', but AJ just looks up to his costars and is inspired to work hard, I guess.
Go AJ!

[Messers fan]

Thanks for the info Perlnoir we know now that the premier is one month after the shooting so we will have flash back of this night in the bar

 

[PerfectAnomaly]

I love how they're trying to be all mysterious about what happens to Danny in TVGuide, but the spoilers and, more importantly, the promos clearly give away what happens.

 

[talkingtocactus]

^ yeah that does seem a little silly doesn't it?

 

[Top41]

Hmm, at this point I'm just waiting to see how it all turns out. Thanks for the info and the interview.

BTW, do I spy with my little eye a bit of Carmine fanboying in that interview? I believe I do.

LOL, uh, yeah. Putting Gary and Carmine in the same category as actors? I mean no diss on Carmine, but people usually set Gary apart because he's Gary freakin' Sinise. AJ *hearts* Carmine. :lol:

I love how they're trying to be all mysterious about what happens to Danny in TVGuide, but the spoilers and, more importantly, the promos clearly give away what happens.

I know! And it's not really a "change" for Danny and Lindsay in the most technical sense, though I guess that's how they're masking what actually happens.

Can't wait to get the fall preview issue of TV Guide! I hope the EW one is out this week, too.

 

[PerfectAnomaly]

I doubt they're so much masking it as treating Danny and Lindsay as one entity now that they be hitched. Nothing can happen to one without it happening to the other. That doesn't bode well for viewers who will probably have to be subjected to more "it's all about Lindsay." :shifty:

 

[Lori K.]

And I'll be getting my puke bucket ready...How sickening ANOTHER season od D/L:scream:

So they are trying to make it look in the preview like Adam and Stella are in bed together but I am starting to think that maybe Hawkes is there in Adams place needing a place to stay.

 

[La_Guera]

Why do I suspect Flack as a "changed man" is Producer for "He'll act like a complete raging asshat for the sake of Teh Drama."?

CSI:NY--Pimping out Its Characters' Integrity since S2.

I'm all for him spinning out after Angell's death--if they'd done nothing after he lost his girlfriend and shot her murderer in cold blood, I'd be howling down the walls--but indiscriminately humping bar bags is Delko's racket, not Flack's. Part of Flack's appeal is his...old-fashioned sweetness, and I don't want him to lose that for the sake of some half-assed, ill-conceived story arc that will never be properly explored or resolved.

I'd rather see him have anger issues with suspects or struggle with his faith in the job than get an eyeful of him using women like breathing, boobied Band-Aids and behaving like the thoughtless jerks for which he once had such contempt. But everyone knows sex(even PG-rated sex) sells, and besides, guys grieve with the Sacred Peen.:brickwall::brickwall:

I agree. I think Bitchy!Slutty!Flack will get old extremely fast. But I don't expect TPTB to do anything other than a superficial treatment of this story.
