Eager to act since he was 5, Kleintank made his professional debut in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” then segued into other series work.

“I wasn’t about being in the industry. It was this inner desire to create stories. I loved watching films. They always gave me this warm feeling inside. When I got into the business, I didn’t expect anything.”

What he found were a lot of interesting people on a similar journey. “While most people think about the actors who are on shows, there are a lot of wonderful people nobody knows about (behind the scenes).” From them, he’s learning other aspects of the business and, yes, will probably try his hand at writing or directing in the future.

Because “Man in the High Castle” is particularly intense, some days seem like “I got hit by a train.”

“That’s the thing with acting,” Kleintank says. “It’s emotionally draining, physically draining, mentally draining. It drains you of every aspect of the human condition.”

It also can be quite rewarding. “When you’ve done a great scene and you get this sense of accomplishment, it’s a good feeling.”

Still, as much as he’d like to know where the thriller is headed, Kleintank leaves the details to the writers.

“They’ll give you an idea what’s coming…but what you need to know is these characters are fighting for integrity. They’re all very hopeful people and they’re trying to keep humanity for themselves and the people around them.”
