Keller was originally set for just one episode. They had a template for the character in mind (Not me, ha!), but the Director of Photography worked with me on a series called Crash and recommended me for the role. One of the Exec Producers knew my bosses on Crash so they talked and gave me the nod. At first, I think the execs were shocked at how I chose to play him as they'd written him as a carbon copy on Neal, I decided to switch it up and play a blue collar version of him with the same taste in suits. I think by the second scene they saw, they started to like the idea more so we went with it. The fans really voiced that they loved the character and that then became a conversation to bring him back. And again. And again. Keller was like the golden egg character, they'd bring him in when they wanted to shake up the story a little. I love him dearly.
