Actor Mekhi Phifer says he doesn’t think Torchwood is a British or an American show, but is instead a worldwide one.
“I have never done a British show, so I don’t have a frame of reference to compare it to. But the energy felt the same as any time I’m on a project that people really care about,” tells SFX. “It just felt like we were doing something good, which for me is what matters. It wasn’t a British show or an American show or whatever. It just felt like we making something special that the world could grasp on to.”
Phifer adds that he likes his character Rex Mattheson enough that he’d want to come back for a second season.
“There’s no question about that,” he said. “This is the first time since ER that I’ve felt that same family atmosphere.”
However, he believes audiences won’t warm to Mattheson right away.
“Rex is misunderstood in the beginning. But he’s a confident, courageous guy with good intentions,” he says.
