J-14's Revealing Interview with Jason Behr
J-14: Does it get overwhelming to know that there are people setting up Jason Behr websites everywhere?
Jason: It's very flattering. Again, it's not something you expect, but people don't have to do it; they don't have to invest their time and energy to create these things. But they do it because they're passionate about the show (Roswell).
J-14: How would you say the character of Max has evolved since the beginning of the season?
Jason: In the beginning, he was the conscience of the group. I think he learned over the course of this year that he can't always take positions and always tell people what the right things to do are, or what the wrong things to do are. He has learned not to be as controlling.
J-14: Did Max change in ways that were sort of unexpected to you in the beginning?
Jason: It seemed like a natural course. They always throw us curve balls; we never know what's happening from one script to the next.
J-14: So you don't know the grand scheme?
Jason: No. I'm not sure if they don't know or if they're keeping it a tightly-bound secret.
J-14: I've heard you're a fan of all this stuff.
Jason: I think the idea of aliens living among us is very appealing. If it was true, how would they be accepted? People are afraid of what they don't know and have to face that fear in order to deal with them and the situation.
J-14: They've been talking about upping the sci-fi aspect of the show and downplaying the romance. Do you think that that's the right way to go?
Jason: I think there will always be a balance. That's important. But if we sway more to the science fiction side of it or the X-Files side of it, that's fine with me.
J-14: Are there any directions you'd like to see the show go in the second season?
Jason: I think the way things have been going would be a fine way to continue, as long as there's a balance of science fiction/thriller with heart while keeping it as human as possible.
J-14: You really seem positive about the show.
Jason: I love it. As an actor, you go out there and you want to work. This show is just such a good thing - creatively and emotionally. I feel like one of the luckiest people around.
