"Y'know... it's none of my business," Trinneer says in excerpts available at The Great Link. "I've got enough of my own business to worry about, getting through the day and doing my job productively and effectively... I've already won! I already got a great part to play for the amount of time that I'm going to be playing it. However long this goes, I’ve still won. I still get to play my craft and get better as an actor. It's a very selfish way to look at it, I suppose, but as long as this goes, I'm winning, because I get to go to my job every day and figure out how to get better looking at things microscopically, as an actor. And the rest of it... I don't care. It's the producers' job to worry about that stuff, and it's not my job."

Trinneer, who holds are master's degree in acting, says season two has allowed him to hone his craft.

"The first year - like any actor - you're worried about doing well," he says."You don't want to screw up, you want to be a good soldier This year's been kind of freeing, in the sense that I'm comfortable at work, I'm comfortable about who I'm working with. Therefore, I think that I'm doing a better job, just because any time that you have nervous energy, it gets in your way. I go to work now and really feel as though I have the luxury to ply my craft without having the nonsense getting in my way - without me getting in my own way, I guess. So I've felt a little more in control of my craft this year."

He says he's not privy to the big season three plans but he is confident it'll continue to bring character-oriented stories, while introducing new ongoing plot elements.

"I think that we're going to begin to see the arc of the show a bit more," he says. "I think that the temporal cold war is going to start to come more into play, and we're going to find, y'know, our friends and neighbours."
