This is my first really big break it just so happens to be that I sort of won the Lotto on this one. There are ads all over, it’s maybe the most-hyped new network show this fall season - right now, being so close to the debut, what’s your current status? Excitement, with maybe a little bit of nervousness in there, too? This is the most high-profile role of your career at this point, by far. I’m excited for the world to see it next week. I think we’ve got something really good here. We’ve got six gems lined up for you, as soon as we start. With the production values, it feels more like a movie every week. The role means a lot of new experiences for Dalton as well, a relative newcomer to television with just a handful of previous credits, like guest spots on “Blue Bloods” and “Army Wives.” Dalton identifies as both a comic book and Joss Whedon fan (the “Avengers” screenwriter and director makes his return to TV with the show directing the pilot, which he co-wrote with showrunners Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen), and his enthusiasm for becoming a part of the live-action Marvel world is clear, even though, as he admits, he’s not sure how his life may change when the highly anticipated show - set in the same continuity as Marvel’s mega-successful films - debuts on ABC next week.ĬBR News spoke with Dalton about how Agent Ward differs from his past roles, how a master of fine arts from an Ivy League school prepares you for playing a super-spy in a comic book world, and - in a potentially controversial revelation - the DC Comics character who ranks among his favorites.ĬBR News: At this point, we’re still a week away from the series premiere, but how far into shooting the season are you?īrett Dalton: We’re entering episode seven, shooting six. squad taking a very close look at burgeoning superpowered activity. Under the supervision of Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg, reprising his role from multiple Marvel Studios‘ productions), he’s left with little choice but learning how to be a team player as part of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Used to doing things on his own, Ward is especially hesitant around newcomer Skye, played by Chloe Bennet.
(CBR) Though the main characters of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” look like a cohesive unit in the show’s promo materials, the first episode makes it clear that at least one agent, Grant Ward - played by Brett Dalton - isn’t comfortable operating within a team dynamic.
