Mini Q&A
Lucky me! I got to hang with Max Evans' alter ego Jason Behr at a party one night for like five whole minutes! (Ok, so it was a press party) Here's what handsome Mr. Behr had to say:
Q: So Jason, do tell...has life totally changed for you? Do you get absolutely mauled when you go out in public now?
A: "Nah... I mean Tom Cruise can't go out even if he's wearing a funny mustache and a big schnoz but for the most part I can just walk around and do as I please. It's my job to be able to blend in y'know?"
Q: I don't know...maybe most people just walk around in a fog 'cause I, for one, would definitely notice you! What about your character? Do you ever wish that Max would lighten up a little?
A: "Yeah, I think that's what we're going to go for this year...we're going to try to balance out the science fiction and the intensity that go with it with relationships and humor. I think it was very important to establish Max and Liz's relationship and the nuances that go along with it. There are so many subtle things that we, as adults, may not remember about first love. When you get involved with someone for the first time and you really, really care about them there's so much more to it than 'Do you wanna go out on a date' and then go to a movie."
Q: Were you cognizant of all the fan sites kids were putting up in an attempt to help "Save Roswell?"
A: "I'm pretty computer stupid but I'm aware of all the support that has come from the fans and nobody expected that sort of response but everyone on the show is really grateful for it."
Q: You guys just came off hiatus...did you work on any cool projects this summer?
A: "No. I didn't really find any scripts that appealed to me. I'd rather take time off and relax than force myself to work on a project I'm not that interested in." Speaking as someone who'd watch him watch the grass grow I'm kinda bummed, but at least we have a new season of "Roswell" to be thankful for!
