Enver on (non) mimicking Reed
I found this through Whedonesque. Enver (Gjokaj) is creating, producing and acting in a webseries called Previously on Point Dume and HitFix interviewed him about it and asked a few questions about Dollhouse.
HitFix: Absolutely, though I don't know that anybody in history has ever attempted a Reed Diamond impression...
EG: [Laughter.] Now *he* was tough. That guy was tough. Again, I did not mimic him at all. There's nothing to mimic. He doesn't really have a mimic-able thing. I just had to tell to myself, "Alright. Now you're Reed." That's all I did for that. I just sat down in the chair and I was like, "Alright, Enver. You know Reed. Just be Reed." There was a lot of stress underneath it, too. I think there was just absolutely fear that boiled it out of me. [...]
Lol, I'm now imagining Enver sitting on the imprint chair before shooting that scene in 1x11 and muttering that to himself. Haha!
Here's the entire article. He also talks about non-mimicking Fran, and how he got into the webseries.
