Eureka: Colin Ferguson & Jordan Hinson Interview
The actors who play Sheriff Jack Carter and his daughter Zoe talk season four, season five, the Christmas episode and Twitter-mania
... Eureka set the tone for a whole bunch of other Syfy shows. Did you feel like the show was pioneering for the network?
Colin: “When the network set out to create Eureka, they wanted no space, no aliens. They wanted something more mainstream, a version of sci-fi that would appeal to more people. So we were the guinea pig on that, and we definitely took it on the teeth on a couple of fronts, as we all tried to find out what that was going to be. ‘Oh, it’s going to be darker. Oh no, it’s going to be more comedic.”
Jordan: “It took a long time to find out what the tone of it was going to be. It was a process to be sure. And I don’t think we really found it until the second season.”
Colin: “Even through the first year, all the directors that come on to do the show, they would be told outright in the tonal meeting, ‘This is not a comedy, so get that out of your head.’ That was the first thing they were told.”
