After a year on the set of New York, <font color=yellow>Carmine Giovinazzo</font> (Danny Messer) is finally getting used to the grueling schedule of the show.

The actor recently sat down with LA Daily News to talk about the most challenging part of making a TV show: the long hours. "I think I'm adjusted to it now. You have to pace yourself. When we're in production, I'm cutting down on the extracurricular activities I like to do, like writing music."

But that doesn’t mean it’s smooth sailing from now on. With the creation of Danny Messer’s complicated and mysterious background, Giovinazzo has had to pull extra long hours on the set. "I've probably clocked the most hours beyond <font color=yellow>Gary [Sinise]</font> (Mac Taylor) and <font color=yellow>Melina [Kanakaredes]</font> (Stella Bonasera)."

Giovinazzo had his physical strength tested in the episode "The Closer" and showed off his acting training in "On The Job," but according to the actor, the most difficult scene he had to do was, "a long silence. I was just listening to Gary, having to take what he said, and walk that fine line of reacting without overreacting."

I give him props for the silent scenes. Those ARE the hardest to do. You just have to stand there and look like you're listening, but once you've heard the line a million times you really do not want to listen, so it's really hard not to space out... That's on stage, though. I bet that if Carmine did space out during that part, they could just stop the camera and redo the scene, heh.
 
The silent scene (I'm assuming he was referring to the one in "On the Job" when Mac was chewing Danny out) was really well done--Danny just looked completely broken and I thought he conveyed that quite well without being melodramatic.

But I swear, this guy is always talking about the hours on the job. You'd think he was working in a mine or something. :lol: I'm sure the actors work hard, but still, it's got to beat unemployment, right? I'm sure a lot of aspiring actors and actresses would love to be in his shoes right now.
 
If it's soooooooooooo hard like Carmine makes it sound, then how about he takes my job - 70 hours/$250 weekly - and I take his job? Sound good?
 
:lol: ditto, TOP on the many aspiring actors and actresses wishing they had the opportunity that he has right now! I can understand that the hours are long and, grueling, but he did choose to do this for a profession and he has been lucky enough to be on a hit show~
 
^Those are my thoughts as well. I bet he used to sit around hoping he'd land a steady job or at least one that would bring him some success, and now he's got it and it's complain, complain, complain. :lol:

Yeah, I'd trade with him, too. :lol: Somehow, I doubt the money for my job would sound as desirable, either. :lol:
