The Australian actor plays Jim Longworth, a former Chicago cop who moves to a south Florida town and joins the state police.
Production on year two of the series, which first bowed on A&E in July, is expected to begin in March. “I think it’ll still keep the same voice. They found a really great voice for the show,” Passmore told EW while attending an TV Academy event in North Hollywood, CA this week. “I think there might be a couple of villains who can really fence with Jim one on one, so I think we might see some of that. And I think we’ll see some of the other characters on the show get really fleshed out like Colleen Manus (Michelle Hurd) and young Daniel (Jordan Wall).”
And what about the new romance between Jim and Callie (played by Kiele Sanchez)? “There will definitely be a rocky and bumpy road along the road of love,” the actor admits, in reference to the fact that Callie’s husband is behind bars. “We’re definitely going to deal with that whole situation of the husband in jail. Yeah, it’s going to get messy.”
The drama, which wrapped its first season on Sept. 26, broke records for the cable net by averaging 3.88 million. “I think word of mouth got the show even more popular. We always improved our audience,” says Glades co-star Carlos Gomez (Carlos Sanchez), who also attended the TV Academy event. “I think for the second season, A&E’s going to do a really great push on it. We’re going to elevate to a whole different level.”
Passmore says the Florida locale makes the cops-and-bad-guys stuff all the more fascinating. “I think it’s the only place in America where you can tackle a guy and cuff someone in a blazer and a T-shirt and still look good doing it with a bit of a blow wave. That’s what I’m going to try out for series two – the blow wave hair and a blazer,” he says. “Florida is just an open book for state on a story. It’s so eclectic. It’s so weird and beautiful and crazy. There’s so much money, and there’s so much not money. There’s so many different elements down there, it makes almost a cesspool for stories.” – With reporting from Vlada Gelman
