Varma plays billionaire philanthropist
“It’s going to be nice having other players, other relationships,” says Valley just before leaving for
to shoot the second season. “We get to see how Chance reacts to women
on a continual basis. How the whole team reacts to someone in more of a
position of authority. And how the guys act to women in authority.”
Valley says the addition of female characters isn’t
a network ploy to broaden the show’s viewership but a means to a
healthy conflict between the guys who are accustomed to handling cases
in their own unique way and the women who will bring a different
perspective.
Eventually both sides will realize this is a good fit.
“The most exciting part is that it’s going to change
up our dynamic a little bit. For me, the first season was great, like a
brotherhood with Winston,

died after a few weeks, plus the returning cop comedy “The Good Guys”
and the new comedy “Running Wilde” have miserable ratings.
The second season of “Human Target” was scheduled to begin
died so quickly that “Lie To Me,” which was set for the Wednesday slot,
was moved to Mondays to take over the open time period.
No matter the night, Valley just loves working on
the series he calls a labor of love because the action scenes are
invigorating.
The 45-year-old actor does as many of the stunts as
he can. He determines which ones he’ll do by watching a stuntman do the
scene first.
“It’s like having food tasters. I want to see if they survive and then see how they do it,” Valley says.
That system has worked so far. He ended the first season with only a shin splint.
