(#20) Scott Patterson Knew the End Was Coming

Scott Patterson, who plays moody Luke on the show, expected the show was coming to an end. His reaction on learning the show was going to be cancelled: "I kind of expected it, actually. And I think i was probably a little relieved and disappointed at the same time. So many things went through me when I heard the news.

I wasn't terribly shocked. I know a lot of people were very optimistic, but I wasn't one of them." What a "Luke-esque" way to put it!
