Even though someone else may write the show it's you on screen as the man in the given situation. As you're a part of the creative force behind the Vic Mackey character and considering the morally questionable psyche of the character, do you believe that Vic still believes what he does is more good than harmful? Like for example this season we see Vic kidnapping Guardo's girlfriend in order to lure him to LA so he can torture him and kill him for a mistaken connection to Lem's murder. Do you think he sees that as justice or vengeance ... or does he even care anymore? Thanks very much and keep up the incredible work on the show.
