Joshua Jackson spoke about the complex character of Cole Lockhart in an interview with Collider. He said, "Now when we come back to him in Episode 2, that should, I hope, feel like, "Who is this guy because this doesn't like anything like the man we used to know." Now, you're seeing a person from the inside who is actually riddled with their own insecurities and those big, broad questions of who am I, what purpose do I have in life, who do I want to be, what is my life, and what's my reason."
Episode 2 of Season 2 "The Affair" airs on Sunday, 11 October at 10pm EDT on Showtime.
