Glenn Keogh On 'Scorpion,' Working With Michael Bay, Eddie Marsan

[Scorpion] is based on the true story about a gentleman called Walter O'€™Brien - who is an Irish guy, a genius - and he is hired by the U.S. government as one part of a crack team to help them fight terrorist organizations around the world. He'€™s got a group of guys who are all geniuses also, and it just follows his journeys on a week-to-week basis. They'€™ve solved problems that the existing administration could not.

My character is the father of the lead character. Walter O'Brien is the lead part, and I don't want to spoil anything for you. I might be seen in the pilot and then come back later on, but I can't say without spoiling it. But yeah, I'€™m his dad.

No, I haven't, actually. Word is he lives in Los Angeles. I'd love the opportunity to meet with him; maybe that'll happen after he watches the show.

Fantastic. A great experience. It was a roller-coaster. It was great. We shot in Chicago for a few scenes of the movie. Michael's an absolute genius. There's a lot going on on the set because you're not only acting and taking direction, but you've got to, in your mind, picture the features that are going to come in later. With my scenes, there was a Dinobot transforming into a robot. It was a great experience and everyone on set and afterwards was fantastic, and I got to meet the cast and crew and Mr. Spielberg, who was a producer on the film. It was great.

Probably working with Eddie Marsan, who I worked opposite with. He's a British actor, a fine actor, a really nice guy. We spent a day shooting and it was really fun to see him go into character. To see a nice little British guy switch to a Bostonian is an amazing transformation to see. It was great working with him, as it was with everyone else working on the show.

Not that I know of at the moment, but, never say never. I'm open to it. [laughs]

I'll be watching it for sure. I believe the first episode of the show was two days ago, or maybe it was last night. I didn'€™t get to see it. I know I will, it's gotten stronger season after season. Again, that was a great experience; great guys on that show, and I wish them the best. I hear they're going to sign off in style this season. From what I understand, there's big things planned.

Hmm, that's a good question. I have an idea in my head about how it will end. I imagine it'll be a big bloodbath right at the end I'm sure. You'd like to see Jax be able to get away from the Sons and maybe go off into the sunset with his lady and live happily ever after. I don't know whether that will happen or not. I don't think that'€™s a typical 'Sons of Anarchy' plotline. Maybe they'll leave it open, which is unlikely but you never know. I just expect something fairly full-on and exciting from the last episodes.

A good friend of mine actually, the guy who played my brother on Sons of Anarchy, Dan Hildebrand, a fine British actor, and we just spent a bit of time together during our season on Sons. He had been to Haiti a few times before and Dan, as a business also, built domes which are low-cost fireproof and flood-proof homes. So he spent time down in Haiti and had started, from what I understand, to build some small homes for families. There's still tens of thousands of families in Haiti you know, so the issue hasn't gone away. There are also tens of thousands of orphans that need help, so Dan set about raising money for a rehabilitation center on a plot of land that he had secured. We could build an orphanage and the rehabilitation center could be to educate the parents on how to take care of their children. I got involved with the fundraising quite a bit. I think quite a bit of money was raised. It was about $30,000-$35,000 that we needed to build, and Dan donated of course. Dan went down there and built it the year before last, and there'€™s more family and friends to build more now so it's a fantastic cause.
