[The creator] Kevin Falls told me … that each episode was a procedural story where [my character, Dan Vassar] would help that person and get them back on track. All those people that he helps … have to be in that position that Dan gets them into for his son. It’s not about Dan. This is about Zack, Dan’s son, who has some kind of special power. Whatever it is that’s controlling this needs all of these people to be in a certain position or alignment for Zack, [so that] when he comes of age, his power erupts … It was all about getting his son to the place that these people could help him achieve this power and help the world.
