" "The two heads of DreamWorks television called me," said
Weisberg, who is in the rare position of being a TV executive that has also
trained as a CIA operative. "They knew I'd been in the CIA and that I'd produced
and written a previous TV pilot with them, based on the CIA station in Bulgaria.
When those illegals were arrested, they asked me if I'd be interested in basing
a show on it. That was the genesis of this story." " (thanks Amir)
