In 'The Listener,' the 35-year old actor translates the character of Toby Logan who is a paramedic who can read minds. In the story, his character finds himself consulting with law enforcers in order to help others.

Craig Olejnik claimed that that he has been immersing himself into the world of his character continually for seven years and he is still trying to move on from it. He likened the experience to that of detox or a purge.

"I've been sweating it out, trying to figure out who Craig is, minus Toby Logan," the Canadian-born actor stated on an interview and even added that he has been calling people 'Oz' which is the name of the character played by his co-star Ennis Esmer in the drama.

The actor also joked about being disappointed for not knowing what people think of anymore. Craig admitted that he felt weird thinking that he will not be playing the role of Toby Logan anymore despite knowing that the drama would eventually come to an end.

He has also shared that he, along with his co-stars, only knew about the finale four or five days before the announcement.

When asked whether the final scenes have been filmed, Craig merely stated that they've tried their best to come up with such a finale which would do their fans since season one some justice.

Craig has shared more on his thoughts about the drama and has also thanked the fans from the bottom of his heart for making his dreams come true.
