BRENDAN FEHR:
"Roswell" segnerą la fine della mia carriera di attore TV
LOS
ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - While the fate of most TV shows has been decided for the
rest of the season, whether or not "Roswell" will live to see it through May is
still up in the air. If the teen sci fi series isn't renewed, it will likely be
the end of actor Brendan Fehr's TV career, the actor tells Zap2it.com. "I'd never do TV again," Fehr says. "I'd do guest-stars; I'd do recurring -- three or four or maybe six episode arc deal. I would never say 'never' actually, but no, this would be my last stint in TV and after this I would either do movies or go poor." It isn't that Fehr doesn't enjoy being on "Roswell," it's just that he got into acting because he likes playing different characters and working with a lot of different people, he says. And the sci fi drama, which moved to UPN this year after The WB canceled the series, is "a little too steady." "In terms of the character and the people you work with, even though they're all really great, I kind of want something more nomadic -- which would be movies. After this show ends and three years of unemployment, I might be thinking differently." "As of right now, because everything's just fine and dandy and I've got a steady paycheck and a steady gig ... you always want something else. The grass is always greener." The series, which was picked up for 13 episodes on UPN, has yet to hear if it will be picked up for an additional season on the network, or for that matter, for the remainder of the current one. Following the fellow former-WB series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the show has averaged a 1.4 rating/3 share among adults 18-49 and 3.2 million total viewers, compared to "Buffy's" 2.7/7 and 5.6 million viewers for the same amount of weeks. Currently shooting "Roswell's" third season, Fehr says he
still enjoys the work, even if he does wish for more variety. As for his character, Fehr says Michael has some big
changes ahead. Fehr, who dated Delfino in real-life, recognizes that
fans are attached to the relationship between the two on the show. However, he
says, just because they're breaking up doesn't mean that the relationship will
be less interesting. |
