Can you talk about whether Karen and Foggy will be reconnecting in the absence of Matt?

HENSON: I think there’s always going to be a really strong connection between the three of them. A cool thing that Erik’s done with this season is even though these characters have broken out on their own, I think they find that they always do ultimately need each other. That bond they have is always going to be really strong.

You’re one of the only folks that had this straight line from Daredevil season 2, and then Defenders, then Jessica Jones season 2 and now here you are. How much time do you spend time away from this world these days?

HENSON: I’m incredibly grateful to have a job. I tend to try and really separate my work from my real life. When I go home, I got a kid, I don’t really spend a lot of time thinking about the character or anything that may or may not happen. So far they‘ve done an amazing job and I’ve had a really good time playing the character but, you know, when I’m home, I’m home. I’m trying to be a dad. My kid doesn’t understand any of this stuff. He’s a little bit young for The Punisher. A little bit young.

What sets this season apart, compared to other seasons of Daredevil?

HENSON: In a lot of ways, it feels different, but there’s also a real familiarity there. These characters finding their own paths but ultimately needing each other. It’s a tough question to answer because I’m always so worried about giving something away that I’m not supposed to. But yeah, I think people are going to really like this season. Erik’s done a really good job of coming in and picking up where the other showrunners have left off. It’s a world that I didn’t really know much about, coming into it. So I’m sort of still discovering it as it goes. People are really going to like this season.

Erik talked to us about making sure every character had his or her own arc. Do you feel comfortable with that for Foggy?

HENSON: Yeah, I think Erik’s done an incredible job. It does feel like each of us have our own arcs. I do think that that’s also been the same in seasons past, but Erik’s done a really great job of understanding the characters and having a chance to dig into their pasts a little bit more and meet the people around them, that’s been really cool.

We’ve gotten a sense of going back to basics of season one in various ways. For you, did that manifest as Foggy?

HENSON: In some ways. Foggy talked about his family in season one. Going back and meeting them now, and seeing how he fits into that family dynamic in many ways feels like we’re getting back to season one in some ways. But I don’t know, each season has always felt very different for me.

Do you think the seasons feel different because it’s a different showrunner each year?

HENSON: Well no, they more just feel different because the story is progressing. Your characters doing new things. I think the great thing about working for Marvel is no matter who is in the driver’s seat, they seem to be making good stuff. At least I’ve been really happy with the stuff we’ve been able to do.

Without getting too specific, is there an episode that you feel really highlights Foggy’s development?

HENSON: Again, it’s like the family stuff. I can’t really single out any one episode because they’ve all seemed to have blended together now. But the Foggy family stuff.

Will he go darker? I know Matt’s going darker, but will Foggy still stay his light-hearted, though grieving self?

HENSON: I haven’t been playing him any darker.

What about in the sense that you started off in season one, he’s walking into a biker bar, peeing his pants a little bit but he’s still valiantly protecting the law. Now he’s progressed to this hotshot lawyer, is that still a part of him or now he’s the Jeri Hogarth, he’s going to come into a room and lay the law down?

HENSON: I think Foggy’s still Foggy. That’s kind of the thing that I like most about the character. He is who he is, and at the end of the day he cares about the people around him and will do anything for him.

I thought the scenes with Foggy and Matt defending Frank Castle in season two was really powerful stuff and as close to a courtroom drama as you’ll see in a superhero show. Will we get to see Foggy in action like that again and do you do any lawyerly research for your own performance?

HENSON: I haven’t. I’ll be honest, I haven’t done any lawyer research. We have great writers, you know what I mean? I learned very quickly that if you just trust in the writing and the dialogue, we will be okay. It’s funny, though, I was doing some signing, I don’t remember where, and there was a guy waiting, he was like, “You know the lawyer stuff you guys do is way off!” And another guy in line was like, “I don’t think that’s true, I think it’s right on!” They got into an argument and I was like, “Oh my God, this is crazy, people are so invested in this show.” It’s awesome.

That’s an interesting point, you’ve been in this kind of concentrated fandom more than a lot of other actors have been. Have you gotten accustomed to how invested people are?

HENSON: When I was a kid I was in all The Mighty Ducks movies and that sort of created this weird thing when I was very young. And luckily I had a lot of really good friends and family that kept me from I guess going down a more negative path that actors can go down. The Hunger Games stuff was also a very weird experience. It’s never really quite the same, but in some ways you just sort of become immune to any bewilderment. Where it just becomes a part of your life. I just try and focus on having a kid and becoming a dad, so I don’t really think about that stuff much. It’s a weird thing, growing up in this business. It’s a weird lifestyle. I remember being young, shooting something and staying at the Four Seasons, then I come home after wrapping and I’m in my shitty studio apartment. It’s this really weird life where you just kind of learn to roll with the punches and be really grateful for every job that you have. This has been really awesome. Again, I didn’t know anything about comics and to be welcomed into this world has been really cool. Especially by the fans. I didn’t know how great the comic book fans are. So that’s been really cool.
