In a JMS on Compuserve summary, I read:
Q:  '...do the actors know everything the characters know?'
A:  'Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  Depends on whether I want them to play the
process or the result when leading up to that.'    jms

Just wondering:   Is there any one actor to whom you've had to tell more of
the arc than the others so that he/she could play the result?  Alternatively,
are there any one or two actors whom you've had to keep more in the dark than
the others, since it's necessary for them to play the process?  If there's a
consistent discrepancy, how does this go over with the cast?  (Hmmm, wonder if
anyone cheats and worms bits of information out of anyone else?  :)

Probably the one person who's had to know the most of what's coming is
Peter Jurasik, because we've had to flash forward to his future the most
of anyone, and he kinda needed to know what it meant and how he got there
in order to play it properly.  After that...probably Mira, then Sheridan. 
The rest are on a need to know basis.
