TJ Thyne Interview With Men’s Fitness

Men’s Fitness Magazine interviewed Bones star TJ Thyne a while back. The show was filming the third season at the time so a lot of the interview is old news, but here’s an excerpt that you might enjoy:

Tell me about your career? How did you get your start?

I started off in film. I did theatre all my life and then went into the film world. I then kind-of segued into TV land, which is a different experience. I am or was used to just being a recurring role.

Yeah, I remember seeing you in 24 a while back.

Right, I actually just went to a Fox party the other night and got to see Kiefer Sutherland and the rest of those guys again, who are going into their seventh season, which is great.

So what comes more naturally to you, TV or film? Or is it the mix that keeps you going in this industry?

Well, I come from the school of thought that acting is acting, is acting, is acting. It doesn’t matter if it’s on stage, TV, or a film camera. The opportunity to be a storyteller is the greatest thing in the world, and I feel so lucky and really love it. I think the best-case scenario would be to do all three—to woo all three sisters of film, stage, and television. I think the people who probably have it the best are the people on cable like on Entourage, the Sopranos, etc. who have 13 episodes per season and breaks to do films and theatre. I think that’s the most ideal life.
