Colony is een hele nette science-fiction serie, waar in er een familie wordt gevolgd in de na slaap van een buitenaardse invasie. Want de moeder zit bij het verzet, en de vader werkt voor de bezetter om zo zijn zoon terug te krijgen. De man die dit kan is Proxy Snyder die wordt gespeeld door de acteur Peter Jacobson en deze had recent een interview met de website Collider en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een kleine quote lezen.

Collider: This show has been very interesting, in that it's really focused more on the colonization itself and not shown much of who or what the Occupiers actually are. Because those questions are still largely unanswered, did you ask those questions, or did you not want to know?

PETER JACOBSON: Every actor wants to know in different ways. Some like to know everything. Some don't want to know anything. I think I land somewhere in the middle. If it's character related or relationship related, than I tend to ask more questions. I want to know more about why I would be doing something here and now and what it means, in terms of why my character is doing it, where he's going to be going in the next episode or two, and emotionally what the arc is going to be. But in terms of what's going to actually happen to me in the story, down towards the end of the season, I'm dying to know, but I just don't ask. If it's something that I think will really affect how I play it and it's information I need to know, than I'll ask, for sure. Ryan [Condal] and Carlton [Cuse] are awesome. They tell us whatever we need to know. They're great writers and artists, and they understand that we're all working as a team. But, I was surprised at my lack of drive to pick their brains about what's coming.

You've played a lot of different types of characters on a lot of different kinds of shows. What was the appeal of this character and this show, for you?

JACOBSON: First, it was such a good script. I don't usually get to play somebody who is, at least, nominally in charge. I'm usually playing somebody's lawyer or a doctor. I certainly have played a lot of strong characters, and I love playing a strong character, but this was unique for me. This guy is actually the governor of Los Angeles, and that's new. Exactly the fact that I was surprised by it is what's interesting about the character. I, personally, am not somebody who I think comes off as the guy in charge. You wouldn't look at me and think, "This guy is running a government and he's in charge of the city or a colony." That's not what I give off, and that's what's interesting about the character. I'm assuming that they were looking for somebody who did not naturally give that off, and my non-powerful energy is what makes it interesting. It's not a typical governor or leader or bad guy, and that's what drew me to it. I don't think of Snyder just as a bad guy. I think he's really complex. He thinks he's a great guy, but clearly he does some really bad things and it's a very icky situation that he's in. He wields his power pretty mercilessly, at times. That, of course, is a blast to play. I never get to do that.
