Wire-Tapping with Fringe's Lance Reddick

Fringe has a pretty dark theme. What's the on-set mood like? Is it a happy set or a serious set?
The only time I've ever been on a serious set has been when people don't get along. But [ours is] a pretty gregarious set. Unless things are tense, and that's more often a question of time constraints, because our show is so complicated... It's just a funny mix, because it's got all this action in it. But at the same time, it'll have dramatic dialogue. It can be complicated to shoot it well, so we can have very long days. And then things can get kind of tense, particularly toward the end of the week.
This season, the "Snakehead" episode in particular grossed me out. Does that ever happen to you with all of the crazy props and makeup?
I have to admit that one was pretty icky. I remember when we were on the beach with the bodies, it was really cold and raining. There were all these extras mixed in with mannequins. Somebody would be lying there dead and then they'd move and I would jump! And when we got to the scene where Walter's pulling this thing out of this guy's mouth, oh God, that was gross... John [Noble] loves that stuff. He's a real card. He's got a wacky sense of humor.
