"He is a little frustrated, and explosive. He hires Duchovny's character [Hank Moody] to write the series. That is the dynamic you will see in the upcoming season," says Michael Imperioli in an exclusive interview for ElUniversal.com Mexico. 

Imperioli, who's also playing a big part in the movie 'Cantinflas', is mostly know for his role on The Sopranos. "After The Sopranos, I made several characters, a plastic artist, a physician, it's something that I do to avoid falling into stereotypes."

"I've been offered similar parts to The Sorpranos, and because they are not that good, I preferred not to take them", says the 47 year-old New Yorker.
