You\u2019re kind of switching gears from a string of comedies to a really action-packed drama. What do you think is the biggest challenge in doing this?<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>JVDB:<\/b> I grew up doing drama, I kind of cut my teeth doing drama. I had a <i>really<\/i> fun foray into comedies for the last three years. But there was always this side to me to. It feels comfortable in a good way. It\u2019s challenging physically, \u2018cause they got me doing a lot of running around and chasing bad guys. They\u2019ve kind of inserted this more action-driven character into this cyber show, to expand the world a little bit, which has been a lot of fun. It\u2019s a great group of people. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nNext, check out this video interview with Van Der Beek from <a href=\"http:\/\/kdvr.com\/2014\/09\/16\/james-van-der-beek-interview\/\">KDVR<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><script height=\"236px\" width=\"420px\" src=\"http:\/\/player.ooyala.com\/iframe.js#pbid=47658b6fe4a043a48f5296392ce1db7f&#038;ec=pzcWJlcDpeTbQEhVaG8a11Sa6wrFMfb9\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\nFinally, here&#8217;s a long interview from <I>HuffPost Live<\/i> (the video is embedded in the tweet, click to play):<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Watch James Van Der Beek&#39;s interview on CSI: Cyber and more here <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/nPfQFFg4L7\">http:\/\/t.co\/nPfQFFg4L7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; HuffPost Live (@HuffPostLive) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HuffPostLive\/status\/511567142202769408\">September 15, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Van Der Beek (Elijah Mundo) is one of the stars of the upcoming CSI:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3470],"tags":[3521,2954],"class_list":["post-56219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-cyber","tag-van-der-beek","tag-video"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-cyber\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: Cyber<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: Cyber","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56219"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56222,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56219\/revisions\/56222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
