When he started acting at the age of 10, Richard Harmon wasn't sure he wanted to be an actor. Growing up in a family of actors, he didn't have to go far to seek the wisdom and guidance necessary for honing his craft and by the time he reach his teens, the acting bug struck and he's been at it ever since. It didn't take long for Richard to land his first gig and he's been hot on the trail to stardom ever since.

In 2011, Richard landed as Jasper Ames in AMC's hit crime drama The Killing, one of the last people to see Rosie Larsen alive. In the same year, Richard also appeared in the CW's The Secret Circle and his latest role in the Canadian sci-fi drama Continuum.

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with this fun and incredibly sweet actor about his role in The Killing, his thoughts on who killed Rosie Larsen and his new role in Continuum...

Q: Did you grow up knowing you wanted to be an actor?

Richard: "No, I wouldn't say that I did. I started acting when I was 10, but I wasn't really passionate about it until I was 15. Everything started to change and I couldn't imagine doing anything but acting."

Q: I understand you are a huge Bob Dylan fan -- do you draw inspiration from his music?

Richard: "Definitely. I listen to Bob Dylan every day on set. I draw inspiration from him every day and in everything that I do. There's a time and place for all different types of him music. Lord knows he did a lot of different stuff and he still does -- he's still doing it.

He's not the only one I draw inspiration from, but he's definitely the frontrunner in that race."

Q: How were you introduced to Dylan's music?

Richard: "My dad. He bought me the album Blonde on Blonde when I was about seven. My dad raised me on that kind of music and Dylan was the one that stuck. I think when we find a special artist like that, it doesn't matter what generation they're from, it'll transcend time. It still makes sense; they're point is still getting across. Their music is still relevant, even if it was made back in the '60s or '70s."

Q: Which Dylan songs are your favorite?

Richard: "Balled of the Thin Man is right now one of my favorites of all-time. I fell in love with Knocking on Heaven's Door. Like a Rolling Stone is probably one of the most influential songs of our time in my opinion."

Q: Tell us about your role as Jasper Ames in The Killing...

Richard: "I think Jasper may be one of the most slappable faces on television - watching him sometimes makes me want to wring my own neck on television. The show revolves around this young woman's tragic death and I play her ex-boyfriend, who is not the nicest of people. His family is very rich and he is very entitled and very smug. He thinks he can control everything and I think that stems from not having the greatest home life. His parents weren't really there for him; they just gave him money and not much love."

Q: Do you know who killed Rosie?

Richard: "I have no idea. They were super under wraps with those scenes."

Q: Since you legitimately don't know -- as a fan of the show, who do you, Richard, think killed Rosie?

Richard: "I've got a couple theories. The whole political storyline I never understood -- I think it's going to be within the political circuit. I don't think it's going to be someone in the Richmond campaign, I think it's going to be someone in the current mayor's campaign. I never really trusted that guy and he continuously stays around. He's got to be there for some reason."

Q: Once Rosie's case has been solved, do you think there will be a new murder or will the series build on character development?

Richard: "I'm not 100% certain what they're going to do; they keep everything very close to the vest."

Q: Tell us about your new series Continuum...

Richard: "It's a very complicated show that takes place in two different times -- 2077, which is where it starts out. Our lead character is played by Rachel Nichols as Kiera, who is a cop in the future, and there are these extremists/activists, who believe everyone should have their freedoms and go about it in a radical way. They are going to be executed as terrorists and they pull off a time jump and in the explosion that brings them back in time, it takes Kiera back with them and they wind up back in 2012. Now that she's back in 2012, she tries prevents them from creating havoc in 2077 and get back to her family."

Q: And your character, Julian...

Richard: "I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say about him at this point. He's around from the beginning and I'm the stepbrother of one of the leads. My stepbrother is a 17-year-old tech genius who in the future is very influential. When Kiera comes back (in time) they get involved with each other and he becomes her helper. As the stepbrother, you never really know what the deal is with me. My character is very anti-corporation."

Q: How does Canadian television differ from American television?

Richard: "It's hard to really tell the difference. Sometimes with a Canadian show you can tell that when a budget wasn't given as well as the American shows get, which is why probably we enjoy doing the American shows when they come to town. Continuum and some of the other Canadian shows have done such a great job at being in the same league as the American shows. You can't tell the difference."

Q: Do you follow any television shows on a regular basis?

Richard: "I'm really into the British version of Sherlock. I just got all caught up on The Walking Dead. I think Community might be the funniest show on television. I also still love SpongeBob Squarepants."

Q: Do you use Twitter to keep in touch with fans?

Richard: "I Twitter very frequently, which I was very adamant about not doing for a long time. My page is @richardsharmon."

Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?

Richard: "I pray that it's me working consistently. If I'm on the set working consistently, then my life is where I want it to be."
