Have you felt pressured by that?
How do you deal with that?
I think the one guiding compass that I use is the comics.
What did you do to prepare for the role?

I read the comics!
I started training as well, obviously.
I mean my life was hell because I was just going to the gym and readingHellblazercomics!
(laughs) I mean I was just like, This is a dream job!
Sounds good to me!
I know man, Im so lucky.
I was just taking little notes and little quotes and stuff on the comics.
Ive got this littleHellblazerscrapbook that I keep with me.
Theres been a lot of talk about makingConstantinework on data pipe TV.
Im not going to ask about the smoking because I know you answer that question every day.
But theres also the gruesome, creepy stuff thats in the comics.
Do you think you’re free to replicate that on connection TV, and how?
I think we get darker and darker as we go.
Episode 8 and 9 are…its pretty out there, man.
I mean look at something likeHannibal, which is on the same connection.
That show is creepy as shit.
But I think the difference with us is the character of John.
And I think the balance of that is what makes the show work.
I feel like as we go on week by week, we just get stronger and stronger with that.
I really want to see some Swamp Thing.
Is there any chance that will happen?
I think they dont want to rush into something and get it wrong.
Weve got a great special, VFX team, they are so amazing.
Some of the stuff Ive seen is just off the charts.
So yes, there is a possibility.
Id love to go there.
With Zed being here now, are you doing the Resurrection Crusade storyline?
Is that a spoiler?
Ohh, I dont know if Im allowed to tell you so much about this.
Last week we also got info about Mucous Membrane.
Are you going to sing?
Are you good at singing?
Can you do punk?
Those episodes, I think theyre great.
Theres a photograph in there, theres a picture of me and her back in the day.
Yeah, Id be up for it, the singing.
Say Im somebody who doesnt watchConstantine.What would you say to convince me?
Matt Ryan, thank you very much!
