(CBS) In a cliffhanger episode Thurday night,Cap.Jim Brass is shot.
While trying to negotiate with a gunman holdring a hostage.Brass life hang in a balance as the episode ends.

But that doesnŽt seen to concern Paul Guilfoyle,the actor who plays Brass,all that much.

One The Early Show Friday,Paul Guilfoyle told co-anchor Julie Chen."IŽm not that kind of guy.I donŽt really believe in that sort of fear.I mean,IŽve been an actor for so long,IŽve had about a hundred jobs.So I,you know,I have all confidenc that IŽd get another job,if his one ended."

Chen wondered how Guilfoyle first found out Brass would wind up in the line of fire.

"I tend to read the scripts as soon as thy come out,and..."

Chen interrupted him,asking whether the showŽs producers had called him to alert him of what was about to happen.

"Well,you know what?They did,"Guilfoyle responded."...I got a call from the producers.ButŽI,I being the kind of guy I am,I,Iread the scripts very quickly.I like to find out whatŽs going on,just to see whatŽs,uh,happening.And,uh,so I had read the scripts,but I got a very good call from the producers saying,"Hey,we want you to know that,you know,youŽre going to be shot,you know,,and,uh,I said Oh?Great,you know,I know that!"

It wasnŽt the first time Guilfoyle has played a man whoŽs been shot,and he says each time the characterŽs reaction has been the same:"You really canŽt believe it,that,that somebody shot you and thatitŽs happening to you,that youŽre,cause thereŽs certain,I guess the word that most people say when theyŽre shot isnŽt MomŽor,or,uh,orŽJulieŽor it,itŽs,um,No!"

If this really is the end of Brass,Guilfoyle says the character might have no one but himself blame.

"I think the good thing about the character that I like about him,"Guilfoyle said,"Is that he operates from place of kind of honesty,of authenticity and honesty,and he sometimes makes other people do the same thing.And...a few times heŽs wrong,like all of us.
