Theres been a lot of conflict going on for your character.
How much do you think actually facing Sir in person has changed his feelings about things?
Did that help put things in perspective in a different way than just what he thought it would be?
BRETT DALTON: Hes such a slippery character.
I feel like every time I walk into the jail, its a battle.
Its a battle of wits.

There are just so many things going on that are said and unsaid.
Its somebody who seems to just be ahead of the game or even playing a different game entirely.
It is incredibly frustrating.
He is the problem that wont go away.
Its a very interesting game to play.
And I wish it would all just end.
Shanola Hampton and Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s past comes to the forefront in “Missing While Misidentified” tonight.
DALTON: Youre right, I have played both sides, and bad guys have a lot of fun.
What can I say?

They get to play by their own rules.
AndTrent is a guy who very much plays by the rules already in place.
Its good to play.
Theres still conflict there.
There are some bumps along the way.
Trent seems to be the guy who attracts women that keep secrets about Sir from him.
How does he feel about what Heather is doing in comparison to what Gabi did?
Is he quicker with recognizing when he needs to draw a line?
DALTON: Trent lets Gabi get away with a lot.
His feelings for her really blind him in a lot of ways.
Trent is probably still in love with Gabi, at the end of the day.
I just dont know.
I know that Im ready to move on, or I think Im ready to move on.
I dont know what Im doing in this pool in the first place.
I dont know if this is the right thing.
I was excited when I first found out about it.
I was like, Finally!
We hadnt really gone home with Trent.
Hes part of the team as an honorary member.
With Season 2, I was like, Oh, my God!
I wanted to know what his house looked like too.
I was really excited that there was something outside of that.
It adds a whole other layer to the character that the audience gets to see.
The audience is really going to love whats going on.
The writers have found a way to put these characters in the most extreme circumstances they can.
DALTON: That is a good question.
I think its the second one.If rules didnt matter, Trent wouldnt be Trent.Trent is all about the rules.
But should this end the way he wants it to end, it would be no communication from Sir.
We would not hear about him.
Hed be a problem that just finally goes away.
That would be great.
But it doesnt happen that way.
That is all I will say.
What has it been like to figure out the dynamic between Trent and Sir?
How has it been to get to be in scenes with Mark-Paul Gosselaar?
DALTON: I love it.
There is always something to play.
Its so fun to play.
Hes also just an unapologetically bad dude.
Hes so verbal about it too.
He does so many linguistic gymnastics all around you.
Theres always the hope that youre going to beat him.
Its really fun to see if this is the one time when you actually do.
Grant Ward would probably love to have a word with Sir.
Or not even a word, probably an action.
Gabi Mosely and her crisis management team verify there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people.
Foundairs on NBC and is available to stream on Peacock.
