Person of Interest: Amy Acker on Root's Sanity

Person of Interest returns to CBS this coming Tuesday (new night!) at 10/9c, picking things up where we left off in the Season 2 finale – with the Machine now in an unknown location and talking to “Control,” Finch and Root, separately. And now that both Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi have been bumped up to series regulars, things are bound to get out of hand quickly. Because you know that mental institution won’t hold Root for long.

I had a chance to talk to Angel/Alias alum Amy Acker about her role as Root, the deep mythology of the series, getting intimate with The Machine, and whether or not Shahi’s character, Shaw, is going to cause problems for Root down the line.

IGN: Firstly, congratulations on being promoted to a series regular for Season 3.
