The actor told Vulture that the cast were "constantly" worried they w0uld be killed off.
"There were maybe one or two of us that really had job security, and every other one of us was paging through the scripts as soon as we got them to see whether we survived.
"From what I understand, it was planned for me to be killed off in season one.
"I was not a very sympathetic character, so it would have been easy for me to get killed off without the show missing a beat. Through a lucky confluence of events, I was able to stay on and last the whole six seasons."
