Mekhi Phifer: 'Torchwood feels worldwide'
Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2011 3:40 pmMekhi Phifer has claimed that Torchwood: Miracle Day is a "worldwide" series.
The actor told SFX that the sci-fi drama has neither an American nor British feel.
Phifer said: "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."
He continued: "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 also claimed that he would "absolutely" return for a second series of Torchwood.
"There's no question about that," he said. "This is the first time since ER that I've felt that same family atmosphere."
Phifer had previously told Digital Spy that he would "definitely be interested" in returning to Torchwood.
He also recently admitted that his character Rex Matheson "comes off like an asshole" in early episodes of Miracle Day.
Torchwood: Miracle Day continues on Fridays at 10/9c on Starz in the US, and premieres this Thursday at 9pm on BBC One in the UK.
I watched the first (American) episode last night. It was awesome, sort of "American conspiracy movie cast meets Torchwood cast". I've read that the UK version will difer but in which way has yet to be seen. Bill Pullman plays a character so evil he has to be heard to be believed!
