TVLINE | So tell me, under what circumstances do we first meet Jackson?
He suddenly appears in the kitchen in the house of his estranged wife, in the middle of the night. He still has a key. She thinks it’s a burglar, intruder or something in there, so she gets her police weapon and heads down the hallway, only to find me in there putting away groceries.
TVLINE | How would you describe their marriage? It would seem like “complicated” doesn’t begin to cover it.
Yeah, it was complicated. They were very much in love and very much attracted to each other when they met. And he was probably a pretty good attorney too, so she was impressed by his professionalism and all that. He did have a drinking problem, which he overcame, but he still gambles. And as this begins he has just returned from Vegas, where he was living – and which is not a good place for gambling.
TVLINE | They just decided to put some distance between each other?
I think they had little bickering sessions, but they’re not too heated. They’re sort of always charmed and amused by each other. And then they, you know, just separated. Their [two] kids are grown up, living on their own…. They don’t get divorced, because I guess they’re both extremely Catholic. And they just never got around to it, I suppose.
