By George Dickie © Zap2it If you want to make Philip Winchester laugh, ask him about his four seasons playing British military intelligence op- erative Michael Stone- bridge on the Cinemax action series "Strike Back." From leaping from moving car to moving car to hanging off the side of a building to even do- ing boot-camp training, Winchester and onscreen partner Sullivan Stapleton — who plays fellow MI6 hotshot Damien Scott — have certainly done enough envelope-push- ing stunts to qualify as adrenaline junkies. In fact, Winchester found himself becoming one. "We call it the 'Strike Back' PTSD," the 34-year-old Mon- tana-reared, Lon- don-trained actor says, "which was the post-trau- matic stress disorder of finishing a show like this and living at such a high level for such a long time. I actually spoke with a neurologist about this and she had said, 'You are absolutely right. You guys are living at this cer- tain level and you're get- ting all this dopamine and all this oxytocin and all these chemicals dumped into your body, and if you don't do something with them you create these neuro pathways where that's what you get used to doing. So when you go back to your normal life ... you are going to be a little jittery.' " "I'd come home and after about two weeks of being home, my wife would finally look at me and go, 'Oh, it's nice to have you back, honey. It took about two weeks but there you are.' You've got to get it out of your system." The fourth and final season of the series kicks off Friday, July 31, and once again Scott and Stonebridge are pursuing threats to world peace. This time, it comes in the form of the kidnapping of a British diplomat's daughter that turns out to be the first step in a glob- al terror plot that involves the Japanese Yakuza, the Russian mafia, cyber- terrorists and other nefar- ious forces. The duo find themselves crisscrossing Asia and Europe to de- fuse the threat. All 10 episodes this season were shot from August to December of 2014 in Hungary and Thailand, which Win- chester says created a unique ambience to the storyline. "I think it added this very visceral element to the show," he says. "I mean, we had it because of South Africa (in Sea- son 3) and we had it be- cause of these amazing locations across Europe. But Bangkok kind of just became this other char- acter, this other nemesis to Section 20. The heat, the locations we were in — as much as they were beautiful, they were really challenging, so I think for everyone across the board it was more of a challenge than we thought it was going to be but ultimately it added something to this season of the show which I don't think we've had for a while." Though the series hasn't yet ended for view- ers, it's been done seven months for Winchester, who is now shooting the NBC fall drama series "The Player." He recently ran into Stapleton — who himself will headline the Peacock network drama "Blindspot" come Sep- tember — recently at an NBC event and got caught up with his former co-star. "We had such a gas on 'Strike Back,' " Win- chester says. "I think we'll spend a lot of our careers trying to replicate the feeling and the emo- tions and the trust we had in these crazy situa- tions we were in and we were asked to be in. So I totally miss the guy. "He's a pain in the ass and I love him," he says, laughing. "He'd probably say the same about me, too." Philip Winchester stars in "Strike Back," which begins its fourth and final season Friday on Cinemax.
