A lot of my influence is from Charles Bukowski. He writes very radical poetry, about his daily life. Very dark stuff.
All the characters are certain that they are experiencing for real whatever is happening in the scripted pages.
Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest, it is beautiful. If it is not honest, it is obvious.
Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time.
Even though I was theatrically trained, learning to develop a character was an awesome experience.
Every role varies greatly, just as emotions vary greatly.
I can't sing. Definitely no ambition in that area.
I decided I'd never do a series again, but I was offered a pilot for a series through Eddy Murphy Productions, and that was the gig that got me Parker Lewis.
I did private study for about a month, five days a week, six hours a day. I came to understand the character in ways that I never would've previous to that. I was so innocent in respect to ways of creating characters.
I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.
I had the benefit of experiencing a hundred times more than the average kid. I don't look back with regret at all. It was the best life ever.
I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life, but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character.
I have not thought too much about the psychology or life of the character Jonas in some time.
I Know My First Name Is Stephen was a powerful movie with a strong emotional bent. That was a weird experience.
I like good stories. Quality products and character are what's important. Even if the script isn't that strong, if I challenge myself with a great character, I'll go for it.
I pitched a storyline, and as far as I know it's been picked up. It's for the third and final episode I'm contracted to do. But I can't give any spoilers.
I try to find what is closest to me in the character. There's many sides to personality, but it's a matter of, do you entertain those specific areas of your personality, or are you afraid to entertain them?
I very rarely get nervous as an actor. Very rarely.
I would love to come back to SG1. Even for one episode. I have thought about possible storylines, but have not approached anyone about them.
I'd been in theatre companies since I was 12, but never studied a particular method.
I'd just gotten into Los Angeles from Texas, where I live, and the phone rang and it was the guy calling about the Willie Nelson video. I was totally excited about it.
I'm hoping I might get to the CMTV awards and wear a 10-gallon hat and show off my cool boots.
I'm just starting out, beginning with the Purification, and have found that the Tech. is endlessly workable and applicable to all of life's apparent difficulties, obstacles, and crossroads.
I've done a number of readings at poetry lounges in Vancouver and Los Angeles. I've compiled a book of poetry that's completed, and two others I'm working on.
I've written lots of screenplays that I'm not sure I would've had the confidence to pursue without the support of a teacher like Manu.
In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.
It has given me an insight into what it's like as an actor to come into a show in the middle of a production and fit into a group that's already established.
It is a Modern day, and these times need Modern solutions to Modern problems.
It would be far to general a statement to try and describe the daily life of an actor in Hollywood, but I am quite certain that cappucinos have something to do with it.
It's all about creating a back story for the character and developing emotional responses that are true to life in relation to the character. It isn't necessary to live a tragic life to create from that place.
Jack Palance was just fascinating. When he wasn't working he was doing oil paintings.
My favorite episode of Stargate? All of them! My favorite episode of Parker Lewis? All of them!
Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen.
Once when I auditioned I had the flu. I was as sick as a dog, sitting in my car sweating bullets. I auditioned for Mick Garris, who had directed Sleepwalkers.
Parker Lewis and Stargate were similar in some ways. They were both one-camera shows, and both were the highest quality for the genre.
Parker Lewis was running at $1 million for each half-hour episode,sometimes more. The quality of the show and the ground-breaking style was at the pinnacle of what TV could offer at that time.
Poetry is whatever comes out. And that's where I like to be-in that place where I just write for the love of writing.
Stargate by far is the top of the pile when it comes to Sci-Fi. The quality is great. They have really good writers, production design, lighting, wardrobe.
The best moments from working on Stargate is the whole work experience. Vancouver is a fantastic place to work and live!
There were time when I was into method acting that I did have moments of residual character emotions, because the method bases your emotional responses as a character on emotional experiences from your real life.
What motivates me in art is the ugly and beautiful nature of the truth. It has to be truthful and honest, even if it is ugly and grotesque.
