Cosmically Cool Capricorn

Jason Behr has a serious shy guy quality. He's soft spoken  watchful, and has a smart reflective way of respondng to questions. He also thinks astrology can forsee his life path about as accurately as stepping on a crack will brake your mama's back. But that didn't stop us from charting what the stars have to say about this guarded non-believer.

Susan:"Jason is a capricorn so he's cautious by nature. He's reserved, careful and doesn't do things on impulse".

Jason:"Im into fast cars I like to go fast. I drove a stock car once up at Californa speedway. There's something about the fact that you're close to your death that I like. The speed and going so fast.....some people don't like it. I do."

Teen:"What's the ultimate car?

Jason:"Porsche. Germans make nice cars"

Susan:"Jason is very loyal,nurturing and big-hearted."

Jason:"My dog, an Akita is like my kid. His name is Ronin and he's a big dog. I take him with me wherever I can. His name comes from a dark comic book I used to read when I was a kid. I had picked him out from a litter,but I had the name Ronin in my head for a long time,so he was named Ronin before he was born."

Susan:"His planets are in the money house and he was born with Pluto on the mid-heaven,which is unbelievably amazing for carrer success. He's all about television or the internet."

Jason:"I'm into movies. Someimtes people forget about old movies,and so our generation, I don't think is that aware of them. Although it was a diferent style of acting back then some of it might be perceived as over the top. But I think the classic stories an the classic movies are very relatable today. I love The Godfather. Power,family,loyalty. Thoes kinds of themes are important to me."

Teen:"Do you ever feel limited by the demands of a televison show ?"

Jason:"We're allowed some freedoms because were dealing with alien nature and not human nature. But we have to keep something that the audience can relate to in order to keep them emotionally invested. There is a lot of real human emotion in these charcters."

Teen:"Do you think Roswell equates the problems of being an alien with the problems of being a teen?"

Jason:"Those themes,alienation and feeling on the outside or misunderstood,thinking nobody really gets where you're coming from,are the same. You're constantly searching for yourself and your place in the world. Those things apply to just about everybody. But I think they mostly apply to adolescents. It's not about finding a home so much as finding yourself".

Susan:"Jason has to be careful when he's doing business. There is a possibility of misscommunication because his world view is different. He knows that everyone doesn't think the same way, but he doesn't know that everyone involved in his work isn't always articulating what they have in mind."

Jason: "Roswell is a lot of hard work but there are times wehn I feel like the writing,the directing...it all jsut comes together. My favorite episode was the 'White Room'. The room itself was very small: no windows, one door. In this tiny room, there was crew, cameras,actors and props,and then I had to act as if I was in there completely alone. Nobody else. It was a long day, a very long process and very claustrophobic. I'm not claustrophobic, but it was a small,confined space."

Teen:"When they're directing you and you're tired, in this box, hot and just over it all, are there any actors tricks you use to get the job done"?

Jason:"Once they shut the door to that room, there was no air. i don't think anybody who as there in that room was bummed that there was an absence of bean dip on the set that day! But, OK for the 'White Room' they had to pick me up and throw me in the room. Every time we did it, I'm telling the guy 'Don't gently shut the clasp. I want you to slam it shut-shove my hand in the thing!' Every time he did he pinched my skin. I was bleeding from my wrists, but it worked for the scene."

Teen: "That's intense. Tell us what superpower you would have if you really were an alien"?

Jason: "I'd fly. I'm sure it's a very poopular answer, but there's a reason for it. It would be complete freedom."
