Jon Huertas
When you first heard about “Castle†was it something you immediately wanted to be involved with?
Jon Huertas: Absolutely…When I first read the script, it was apparent this was no run-of-the-mill Procedural cop show. It had life, character and it made me laugh. There aren’t a lot of opportunities to be able to combine all of that into an hour long cop drama…so immediately I knew I had to be a part of it.
Was there anything specific about the character that interested you?
JH: My character, Esposito interested me because he appeared to already encompass a part of me; striving to be good at what he does ( a good detective), he’s protective with a tough exterior but he also has a sense of sardonic humor which seemed to push/encourage the lead (Castle) to play with Beckett even more just to get a reaction from Esposito.
Is there anyone or anything in particular that has inspired you or helped you determine how to play the character?
JH: Man, I have been inspired by so many great actors that I’ve worked with over the years. A few that come to mind are: John Leguizamo, Kurt Russell, Woody Harrelson…These are guys that gave me some of the best personal advice about acting I could have ever gotten. They all basically said to take risks and avoid traps. I think I could could show up to work everyday and just play a cop, you know? But where is the fun in that and what makes that interesting to watch. So I always try to bring something different and I think that’s where the quirky comedy seeps into the police work. A lot of what people see on the show comes from improvised moments that make the cut.

“Castle†is one of the few shows that has actually gained viewers these past few weeks, so congratulations on that.
RB: We’ve got loyal followers, we’ve got good word of mouth, and [the increase in viewers] coming at the right time. So hopefully that’ll be what the network needs to pick us up [for next year]. Read the rest of this entry »

…how much influence you have on scripts. Are there particular scenes or dialogue you can take credit for?
That’s an excellent question. I have been very pleased. This is the most I’ve been allowed to play. I pitch jokes constantly. I don’t come up with solid gold all the time, but if it’s funny, we’ll put it in. My system is, if it’s in the middle of a scene, I’ll pitch it to the writer beforehand. Every episode, we have the writer for that episode on set. If it’s at the very end of a scene, I’ll do the scene as written, give it two seconds so they have the opportunity to cut away when the scene is over, and then throw the joke in at the end. I don’t mind surprising people at the very end…. Read the rest of this entry »
