Drew Fuller Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Drew: Right now I'm working on a show called "Army Wives" for Lifetime. I'm playing this bright-eyed idealist who loves his country, loves the Army, believes in everything that it stands for, and is going to do his best to go fight for his country. You know, fight blindly. It's a different character then I've ever played before. A sweet, innocent boy who is learning about everything for the first time.

Drew: I never got into acting to become a star, but it's part of the deal.

(on his character in charmed, Chris Perry) Drew: He and Paige [Rose McGowan] are very much like brother and sister. Most of the time they absolutely love each other but on occasion they will get testy with one another. Piper [Holly Marie Combs] is Chris's soft spot and he would do anything for her. As for Phoebe, she's the most tolerant and lets Chris get away with a lot, but not everything.

Drew: Charmed is the best training in the world – 10,000 times better than any acting class. People are very quick to point out what you are doing wrong and what you could be doing better. But the fans are more concerned about the character than my performance. It's not like 'you could have been stronger in this scene' or 'we didn't like your hair in last night's episode'.

Drew: I wrote on a fan site that I got a chance to work with these real actors in The Ultimate Gift and I think a bunch of Charmed fans flipped out because they were like, 'Oh, what? The girls aren't real actors?' I wanted to justify it. I was like, 'God, I hope they understand what I was saying, that I'm talking about people who are established.' James Garner is a legend. He's been acting for 60-something years. He's done everything. He's been nominated for every single type of award you can possibly imagine. It was just amazing to be around that. That's just a completely different type of actor. It doesn't take away from Alyssa, Holly and Rose. I think they're amazing in their own right. They're three of the most talented actresses I've ever worked with, but they don't have the experience yet of James Garner, so I can't compare them to James Garner because he's a legend. They're not legends yet," Fuller adds. "If I act with them when we're 80, great, the girls are legends. But until that time you reserve the title for people of that stature.

Drew: I loved playing Chris. I loved how mischievous he was, how much fun he had. He became such a strong part of my life. There were so many similarities between Chris and myself. He was always in the middle, instigating things, in a good way and in a bad way. It was fun to be the troublemaker.

Drew: I'm never satisfied with my performance. I want to keep pushing myself. The great thing about being an actor is you're always learning. That's what excites me about the job and what continues to drive me.

Drew: I'm a smart-ass. I specialize in giving the girls the runaround. (About his "Charmed" co-stars.)

Drew: It's cool to listen to fans when they're just panicked because they don't know what I'm about. Everyone wants to know! There are going to be tons of surprises. I'm going to frustrate a lot of people and at the same time they're going to be intrigued.

Drew: I think yes, there's a part of me in Chris, but I've had to bring that. It's not like they sat me down and watched how I act and tried to incorporate that into the character. I felt it's been entirely character-driven, and then I've had to bring my personality to it; I'm not bringing the character to me, I'm bringing me to the character.

Drew:I definitely have no muscle. My body's, I think, allergic to it.

(On his character in Black Sash) Drew: I loved playing Nick Reed. I was the bad boy. Nick was, at least in my opinion, the best role on the show. The rest of the characters were very much squeaky clean, whereas Nick had an attitude and all these personal demons he had to overcome. I don't mean to sound as if I'm gushing about the roles I've had but I've truly been blessed with how my career has been going. So I had a great time on Black Sash. Russell Wong is a fantastic actor and a pleasure to work with and I feel the same about Sarah Carter, who I think is just brilliant. It was also a treat to get out of Los Angeles for a few months and live in Vancouver, which is where the series was shot. I lived downtown and walked everywhere. The vibe in that city is incredible. I hope I have the chance to go back up there and work on something else.

Drew: I think the biggest reason Charmed is such a success is because nobody takes it too seriously.

Drew: Work begets work. My profession's based on the fact that I can do horror or action and then step into a project like this, where the character has as many layers as an onion.

Drew:I do think there are people with a sixth sense. My great-grandmother was about to have an operation to remove one of her kidneys when a woman came up to her in the street, put her hand on her stomach and said 'You're about to have surgery - don't, because it will cause more problems'. My great-grandmother was freaked out and didn't have the operation and it turned out it was the other kidney that was the problem so the woman saved her life. I think there is magic in the world or whatever you want to call it, and you can't turn your back on it.

Drew: I decided I would be a model first, get a feel for the industry, and then start acting.

Drew: I have lived like a gypsy since I was 19. My friends would let me sleep on their couches, and whenever I was about to run out of money, I'd book an acting job to keep me going.

Drew: I grew up in Newport Beach (Calif.), where the kids in my high school drove BMWs and Mercedes. My family wasn't that rich, but I saw what it does to people.

Drew: Modeling was just a means to an end. I didn't tell anyone. Kids are mean!

Drew:I love football, but I'm not going to be the guy who paints his face.

Drew: I have no clue what a 'hottie' is. To think of myself in those terms is absurd.
