During his interview with The List, Luke Kleintank explained that going onto "Law & Order" in 2009 was a completely different experience than "FBI: International" because he was so new to the industry at the time. "I was scared s***less, and it was my first job ... I grew up in the theater background, so I didn't know how anything worked. That was a whole different experience for me," he said, adding that he felt similarly going onto "CSI" a few years later.
Along with being new to TV acting generally, he had the pressure of being the newcomer on well-established series. "You come onto a new show that's been there for so many years, and you feel like you're the new person on the show, and it's nerve-wracking," he said. That experience of going onto big shows as a young actor made Kleintank always want to put in extra effort to make his co-stars comfortable.
"That's something that I learned at a very young age, is to welcome everybody that's new, that's coming in, because I know how that feels," he said. "It's hard coming into something that feels bigger than you."
