Jason Behr Interview

This was an interview organized by DishThis.com.  Fans wrote in and DishThis chose these questions to ask Jason.

Q: How old were you and what was the first experience you had that made you realize you wanted to be an actor?

-- abruzese

A:The very first thing I did, I was 5 years old, I was doing a theater production back in Minneapolis. I played one of the many sunflowers. But I was 5 so...I think it was a good place to start. But, I've been doing it for most of my life…doing a lot of theater stuff.. .Finally I just decided to pick up and move to Los Angeles.

Q: Hi Jason, do you have any clue of what might happen next season?

-- Leeps98

A:For the next season we're going to concentrate a little bit more on the alien side. So the second season will have more of a darker, edgier, "X-Filian" tone. We're going to explore the mythology of the aliens.

Q: Jason...do you really like Tabasco? Do you guys really eat it on the set?

-- Robin052072

A:I've been eating a lot of Tabasco sauce…a lot of Tabasco sauce. In the beginning, we tried to…Brendan Fehr plays one of the other aliens on the show…in the beginning we tried to tough it out and be men about it and 'oh yeah, yeah…give us the real stuff, give us the real stuff'…In the very first take, we were in the middle of our conversation and putting on the Tabasco sauce and we kept on talking and putting on the Tabasco sauce... he'd put the taco in his mouth and I'd sip on my drink…our eyes started to water…we had these boogs coming out of our nose…and just continued to try to talk and continue the conversation. By the end of the scene, we were just wet everywhere, we were sweating and shaking…so we don't use real Tabasco sauce anymore.

Q: Hey!! I just wanted to say that I LOVE THE SHOW!! Do any of the cast members or producers check out the...(Web) fan forum(s)? Because you can get a lot of (info on) what the fans want and REALLY good ideas!

-- jen_a4

A:I do, but I have to go over to friends' houses to do that, 'cause I'm pretty computer-stupid. Really, I don't know much about computers. I go to a friend's house and they do all that stuff, and I'm just sort of an observer. But I think…yeah...it's an important tool now. Producers log-on, and directors log-on and the network logs-on…they try to get an idea of what the viewers want to see. I think that it does have some sort of influence.

Q: I'm one of the fans that sent a bottle of Tabasco to the network. I'm so glad the fans were able to influence the WB to keep Roswell! What are your thoughts on the opportunities available to young actors like you?

-- jeannieH

A:Yeah…well, I think the great thing about the WB, is that it understands…the WB understands that there is a large core audience out there of younger adults that watch television. Something like Roswell…it has a very wide demographic but it does definitely caters to that audience. And I think that its important to have a network like that, that allows young people to express themselves in that way.

Q: Hey Jason, how do you like South Florida?

-- Isabelle

A:It's beautiful, its great. I've only been here for…going on twelve hours…it's a really pretty community. I like the buildings (in South Beach's art deco district).

Q: Do you like to go out much? Can you tell me if you are going clubhoppin' here in South Florida, and if so can you share where...?

-- Hunter_K

A:I love to get out as much as possible…as much as possible. I think we're going to actually go out and see some of the local clubs that you guys have here and experience the night life in South Beach, which I've never done before.
