Jon Tenney talks about returning to Major Crimes to direct in a new interview with TV Guide. “I don’t kid myself: I initially got the shot because I’ve been working for many, many years with these people and they were being very supportive,” Tenney says in the behind-the-scenes video below. “I felt really good when they let me do it again because it was like, ‘OK, I didn’t completely screw it up.’”

Check out the video below for Jon and his Major Crimes costars discussing what it’s like working with an actor’s director.

TVLine is reporting that Jon Tenney will be returning to direct episode 15 of the second season of Major Crimes, and will also be returning to the show in front of the camera for episode 16.

Both episodes are set to air in December. Major Crimes returns from hiatus on November 25th.
