AccessHollywood.com: Last week’s episode was pretty huge for your character. He crossed paths with — and was attacked by — the Headless Horseman. How excited were you when you finally got that script in?
Orlando Jones: I think a lot, just because at a certain point… it’s one of those things where, how long can you talk about it (laughs). I actually liked the lead up to it because… I didn’t want to jump into being a believer. And to me, that would just rob all the fun from it, because I still sort of believe that if somebody walked up to you and told you there was a Headless Horseman, you’d be like, ‘Look, whatever you’re smoking is cool, but we don’t need to have this discussion right now.’ … I think what’s most exciting is where it’s going, which is the unfortunate part, because that’s stuff I can’t tell you. It’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Access: This week looks to be a big episode. The UV light – who knew it wasn’t just for ‘Dateline’ hotel investigations — it’s for Horseman interrogations. What can you tell us about what’s about to take place?
Orlando: (Laughs) Bravo. … The funny thing to me is that it’s so soon that we bring in lights and turn a place into day when it’s actually night. … I actually was sort of impressed with the idea that you could use sunlight — because obviously the Horseman never rolled during the day — to say, ‘OK, how do you recreate sunlight? This is how you do it,’ and trapping him that way would be a cool way to do it. It sort of smells a little of the vampire world, except when they hit sunlight they disintegrate. So I kind of felt that was cool. It’s gonna be an interesting interrogation because he doesn’t have a head. … How do you interrogate somebody who — even if he wants to respond (laughs) — he can’t.
