The most dangerous TV shoot he's ever done? "Libya got bad quickly," he says of his first-season episode. "We had security advisors on that show, and on day two, they wake us at 1 a.m. to say pack up, get your passports. Every day it was this bang bang bang, get up! in the middle of the night. ... We couldn't shoot anywhere more than 20 minutes safely. Anyone with a cell phone was a problem. We [ultimately] hired this young, adorable militia [for additional security]. Just getting me to the airport and out of the country was an accomplishment."
