CK: Are there any pranks or on-set shenanigans you can tell us about?

SK: Everybody is always teasing each other all the time. I work with a room full of boys basically — which is great because I get to be a little stinker too. For instance, sometimes when I am doing a scene with Jon Huertas… It will be my close up and we both share an affection for The Princess Bride. So he’s a big dork and I will give him an order as Beckett and he will sashay out of the scene as Esposito and just before he does — and it’s always on my close up — he’ll go “As you wish!” … and you’ll see sometimes they’ll keep it on my face and there is always a little twinkle in my eye. There is tons of hijinks and stuff like that. I managed to convince Seamus that he was going to have to do a strip-tease dance and the whole crew got in on it and just had a blast enjoying that.

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.
