Was it important that the actress playing Claire not be so familiar to people, so that they could easily get lost in the story?
MOORE: We talked about it. I thought that was gonna help, certainly. It didn’t preclude the possibility of casting a more recognizable person, but we all felt, instinctively, that if it was someone that the audience was less familiar with, it would help, for that very reason. You could just accept them as this character, and not think of other characters you had seen.
Will you give a sense of closure to the first season, or will you also leave things open?
MOORE: The first season ends pretty much like the book does. We’re telling the story of the first book, so I’m comfortable going that way.
