Jonathan Frakes directed this week's episode of
Leverage and I had an opportunity to speak with him about it this
afternoon for DreamLoom. Take a look.
Your first directing job was a Star Trek episode, but when
did you know that was something you wanted to do? Was the first time a
lark, you wanted to try it out, or did you already know you were
interested?
No, it took me years to get my friend Rick Berman
to actually give me an episode to direct. No, I knew from early on in
the series that there was an opportunity there just by virtue of being
on the set every day with a television series to learn from some of the
wonderful TV directors that we had and to shadow them and trail them
and then I was lucky enough to get time in the editing room to figure
out what that part of it was about. Eventually, after it being clear to
Rick that I wasn’t going to stop pursuing it, he relented.

Very cool article. It is great to hear that Spiner will be in the episode as well. I am sure it will be good. Looking forward to the episode even more than usual.
