Hi,
I recently made an interview with Mitchell Kosterman, the man portraying "Tom" in the episodes "Heroes - Part 1 & 2". Remember, the Colonel Tom Rundell, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex Public Affairs Liaison who was always near Emmett Bregman (Saul Rubinek), the journalist. He also played in "Seth" and had a recurring role in Smallville as Sheriff Ethan Miller. He also played in shows such X-files, Millennium, First Wave, John Doe, MacGyver, Sliders, ....
He has some interesting anecdotes to say about Andy Mikita and RDA

Here are 2 questions:
Stargate Ultimate: Hello Mitchell, how are you ? Could you tell us a bit about yourself, who you are, what leads you in your career, personal life ?
Mitchell Kosterman: Hello, Gilles. I am doing well. I hope you are well also.
I was born and raised in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I am married and I have three children. I have worked in many different jobs. I was a Corrections Officer for five years and an Investigator for the British Columbia Attorney General for nearly 15 years. I started acting in 1987. I am 47 years old.
My first job was on the series Wiseguy and I have worked on more than 120 shows since. I have been writing for years and it is my ambition to get one of my screenplays made into a movie some day. At home I am renovating our house and I enjoying learning about carpentry, plumbing, etc.
SGU: The roles you play are often "cop-oriented" ones or authority representatives, is it a personal choice or is it opportunities that come to you ? If it's a personnal choice, why this choice ?
MK: These are the opportunities that come to me. But I love doing them. I believe I have played more cops than any actor I have ever known and I like being able to say that. I have a new agent and when she first started to represent me we had a long talk about where my career should go. One of the things we talked about was trying to do more than just cop stuff. She wanted me to put a lot of energy into trying to get out of the cop roles and into something else.
I did try but she soon realized something I have known for years: the industry sees me a certain way and it may not be worth fighting that. The auditions I get to read are mostly cop roles but I like doing the cop roles. I feel very comfortable doing them and people tell me I do a good job. How can that be a bad thing?
