Roswell Star Reveals Paper Cut Drama
Tuesday, May 23, 2000
We've all heard that being an actor isn't as glamorous as it seems, but for
Roswell's Jason Behr stardom is downright painful. The actor tells TV Guide
Online that working on the cult hit has its ups and downs. "I have a lot
less
sleep. I spend less time with family and friends and [get] a lot more paper
cuts!" Paper cuts? "We get script changes all the time and we have to put in
the
new pages [ourselves] and I cut myself all the time." Poor Behr better
stock up
on Band-Aids because Roswell is returning for another season - thanks in
large
part to viewer support. "It's been tremendous," he explains. "All the hot
sauce
that [the fans] sent in was very influential in getting the attention of the
network. This one fan sent me a really cool hot-sauce leather holster. You
don't
expect that kind of stuff." His devoted fans can count on the show becoming
more like The X-Files, with less emphasis on romance and high school.
"They're
going to delve more into the mythology. The first season was more about
getting
to know the characters and the relationships, but the second season [the
aliens]
discover they have a much larger responsibility." The 27-year-old plans to
lay
low during his hiatus. "I'm going to sleep a lot! We're starting off early
so
the window of going out and working on something else is closing quickly,"
he
says. "I'm not going to work just for the sake of working. I want to wait it
out
and make sure that choice of film is the right one." - Eddie Roche
