iFMagazine.com recently had the pleasure of interviewing Lee Pace.  Based on the questions they asked, I bet this interview was done a little bit ago.  But it’s Lee, so we are here to share it with you.

Sadly for fans who proved immensely passionate but not numerous enough, PUSHING DAISIES has been canceled. However, ABC has committed to running all of the episodes that have been filmed; the quirky fantasy series, about a pie-maker whose touch can raise the dead and put them back again, in love with a resurrected woman he may never make physical contact with, is in its last days of production.

Lee Pace, the Texas native who plays Ned the pie-maker, talks about why he loves PUSHING DAISIES so much in this exclusive interview.

iF Magazine: First of all, congratulations on your Best Actor Emmy nomination for Season One.

LEE PACE: Thank you.

iF: Was that possibility at all in your frame of consciousness before it happened?

PACE: Well, this thing happened right before the Emmys where they were doing all these lists of people who were likely going to be nominated, and I stopped paying attention to it. My dog wakes me up every morning about six-thirty, seven, to go for a hike, and he woke me up, and I looked at my phone, and I saw about twenty missed calls and I imagined I was nominated – or my mother was in the hospital.

Amrie from My Take on TV, is a good friend of ThePieMaker.com’s and now a friend of the Pie Maker himself. Amrie had the opportunity to have a little one-on-one phone time with Lee Pace this week. They talked about the season thus far and how Lee thinks Ned has changed, among other things.

We are so happy that Amrie got to talk to Lee…really. We aren’t ridiculously jealous of the opportunity. Nope not at all. He he.

Enjoy this excerpt

Amrie: I have seen the first three episodes, and I’m just in love with the show. I’ve been in love with the show since minute one.

Lee: Oh good, what do you think of the second season? Do you think it’s coming together?

The words I’m using to describe it so far are brilliant, and lovely. Every good word you can imagine to describe it, I’m using.

Lee:Oh good, thanks. That’s good. I really love how this season is. It’s different from the first season in a lot of ways, I think Bryan really found his stride, coming back from the strike this year.

Last year, you had the set up, and you had to learn a lot about these characters, and this year, you can kind of let them live, and breathe a bit, because we know enough about them.

Lee: That’s true. One thing I was kind of glad to see in the episodes, in last week’s episode, I wanted to make Ned have changed from the last episode of last year because it’s been a year since. In their world, too, a year has past, and I wanted there to be an impact, for Chuck to have had an impact on his life. Having spent time with her, having spent a year living with her, doing the cases with her, I wanted to give him a level of enthusiasm. In a way, kind of a willingness to change, become a better man, ya know?

It’s complicated and he’s got deep issues that he’s trying to deal with but he’s dealing with him. I think in every episode you see him taking a little step forward.

One of the sweetest moments of last week’s Emmy awards came when the camera found PUSHING DAISIES stars Kristin Chenoweth & Lee Pace sharing in a moment of complete joy and pride as Barry Sonnenfeld accepted his Emmy for directing the “Pie-lette”. It was a such a pure moment, and one that I’ve watched over and over again.

I’ve been looking all over for a screen cap to share with Pie Maker readers, and finally just came across one today.

Naughtyeskimo over at the LJ Pie Hole capped the moment and has more caps of Kristin & Lee’s reaction. Check them out there.

We just added the photo galleries for PUSHING DAISIES Season 2 episodes 2.03 “Bad Habits” and 2.04 “Frescorts”.
