Terry Kinney: I just turned down a huge miniseries, which was this disaster movie that I started reading, and I got to the point where there's a hurricane over Lake Michigan, and I just closed it. I said to myself, "I think I've read enough." But when I called to tell them no, they said, "But, you know, it's this huge amount of money." And I thought, "Wow. I mean, I'm a whore like everybody else; maybe I could live with this. Where is it filming again?" They said, "Winnipeg." And I said, "See, we're going backwards now. If it were Toronto I might just whore myself." And they said, "Oh no, Winnipeg's a booming metropolis now." And I was like, "Oh come on, even you don't believe that. Have you ever been there?"
