Pop Wrap: So you’re still filming season two of “Army Wives,” then what?
Drew: We actually have a really short turn around and go right into filming season three. Being on the set, the energy and the network saying they love what’s going on–you have to think that the success we experienced last year will continue.
Pop Wrap: When did you realize that the show had become so popular?
Drew: Actually, down here in South Carolina [where the show films] we’re remote. We have no idea how popular the show is. It’s not like they’re doing major advertising down here, so to hear that people are responding to the show is wonderful. I love that I am not aware of it.
Pop Wrap: Are you not one to read his own reviews?
Drew: For me, acting is all about affecting people. The whole reason I started acting in the first place is because I remember walking out of other movies being affected in such a way that I forgot about my worries. If you spend all your time checking ratings and reacting to critics, you’re in this business for all the wrong reasons and it’s going to catch up to you.
Pop Wrap: So what shows affect you now?
Drew: I think “Lost” could be the greatest show on TV. The world they’ve created and how they’ve told that story and kept everyone in the dark is genius. I also just discovered “Dexter” and “Mad Men.”
Pop Wrap: I simply have to ask, for selfish reasons, if there is any chance of a “Charmed” reunion in the future.
Drew: Probably never. It’s not that I’m ungrateful to The CW, they’re responsible for where I am today, but I’m looking to spread my wings and to keep pushing myself.
