JasonBehrLive: Give us a rundown JasonBehrLive: Jason: Who go through life that is teenagers. I play Max JasonBehrLive: Behr: He found out that he was the kind of this planet JasonBehrLive: sometime in the second season which started the alien mythology. JasonBehrLive: Dan: Give us an idea of the hybrid chronciles JasonBehrLive: Behr: I am not actually sure how that is going to go ... the relationship JasonBehrLive: between the two of them have been through so much .. JasonBehrLive: I'm not sure what they are going to do JasonBehrLive: Behr: I've been acting quite a bit since I was a kid JasonBehrLive: a way for me to channel my youthful exhuberance I guess. Question: If you were'nt acting what would you see yourself doing? JasonBehrLive: I had a lot of energy when I was a kid. JasonBehrLive: Probably, I really have no idea, that is the only thing I can do. JasonBehrLive: For a balance between the two of them. When we have a story JasonBehrLive: that involves both the darky, edgy science fiction elements JasonBehrLive: and the relationships, those are the most interesting JasonBehrLive: stories. When you hgave too much of either one of them you JasonBehrLive: can turn off certain viewers. It's nice to have a balance between the two of them. JasonBehrLive: I think high school is such an important part of a lot of people's JasonBehrLive: lives either good or bad. I think high school has a very lasting impressions JasonBehrLive: whetehr they like it or don't like it. It also helps when you are walking Question: Do you enjoy fame or would you prefer an ordinary life? JasonBehrLive: through lockers, have a backpack, the environment sort of works JasonBehrLive: on the stage, and sort of remember those times. JasonBehrLive: To be hones, I am working so much, I'm really not JasonBehrLive: outside just hanging out and on the streets, I really working JasonBehrLive: all the hours on the show. If anyone ever comes up and JasonBehrLive: says anything, it's usually very complimentary, and that Question: What has been your favorite episode this season and last ? JasonBehrLive: kind of stuff usually puts a smile on your face. JasonBehrLive: It's a toss up from either the pilot has been my favorite JasonBehrLive: the first episode was very powerful .. all the actors gave JasonBehrLive: real strong performances .. I thought there was a nice JasonBehrLive: balance of the comedy between Michael and his JasonBehrLive: battle and the drama of Max's situation, and the strange that he let die. Question: Do you relate to you character in any way? JasonBehrLive: I think that was one of the more powerful episodes. JasonBehrLive: Sometimes, there is always a little bit of yourself JasonBehrLive: in the characters that you play .. you forget about JasonBehrLive: who you are when youre playing these characters. I thin JasonBehrLive: Max is a little more indecisive, and understably so, he has JasonBehrLive: the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is a little JasonBehrLive: shy, a little hesitant, and a little indecisive. JasonBehrLive: Absolute,y whenever you are doing a season of a series, JasonBehrLive: you are playing the same character over and over again, JasonBehrLive: it's always refreshing to do something different. The New York JasonBehrLive: version of Max, I was only on there for the very first minute JasonBehrLive: of the show. I think all the actors were going for a very JasonBehrLive: different take on their New York counterparts. I think the general JasonBehrLive: idea was to take these characters and kind of play JasonBehrLive: what if, what if they grew up without parental supervision,sort JasonBehrLive: of free reign with their abilities. Quite different characters, quite different animals. Question: Do you know if thre is a sure third season to Roswell? JasonBehrLive: We don't know yet. Nobody has told us if we are JasonBehrLive: or not coming back. It's always an issue when we come near the end JasonBehrLive: of the season. I don't know of any of these shows that JasonBehrLive: have beemn picked up for the next season. JasonBehrLive: Well, the fans were very helpful last year, allowing people JasonBehrLive: to really see it. The show is being watched, and that JasonBehrLive: that it should stick around, but I'm not sure. Question: Jason, Have you learned anything about yourself while playing max? Question: If so what did you learn? JasonBehrLive: I learned that I need a lot more sleep than I get. JasonBehrLive: I've learned tha tI guess Max has a certain humanity JasonBehrLive: that is both frustrating and refreshing, because I think he sees JasonBehrLive: the world through different eyes than I do. JasonBehrLive: I guess I've learned to be a little more open-minded about things. JasonBehrLive: Always have a better question about who he is and what he isn't. Question: Who do you admire the most in the world, living or dead? JasonBehrLive: First and foremost, my mother. JasonBehrLive: A lot of beliefs in me and values that I use every day JasonBehrLive: she's been my hero as long as I can remember. JasonBehrLive: Other than that, career-wise, I admire Paul Newman, probably JasonBehrLive: who stands out most. JasonBehrLive: NO particular film, every film that he does, he JasonBehrLive: is amazing in. I can't think of one film that he has JasonBehrLive: done that I said I didn't like his perofrmance. JasonBehrLive: If I look at someone;'s career that mirror's that, it would JasonBehrLive: be Paul Newman. He is a true representative of class, he JasonBehrLive: makes a helluva slad dressing. More money is made JasonBehrLive: on Newman's brand name than his films, and all trhe money JasonBehrLive: his company makes goes to charity. To me, that is doing Question: Hey Jason, Question: I want to be an actor on T.V just like you! What advice can you give Question: me to persue my dream in television? JasonBehrLive: something with who you are. JasonBehrLive: The best advice that I could probably give anybody to believe in JasonBehrLive: themselves. Don't let anyone tell you JasonBehrLive: that things are not possible, because they are possible. JasonBehrLive: I kind of just happened. I was in North Carolina when I read JasonBehrLive: the script for Roswell,. The character was so different than JasonBehrLive: the one I was playing on that show. JasonBehrLive: I think anybody around my age was into science fiction JasonBehrLive: in my age .. Star Wars, ET, Battlestar Galatica, it was kind of JasonBehrLive: normalo to be a science fiction buff to that degree. JasonBehrLive: It fascinated me .. the Internet fascinates me. It allows people JasonBehrLive: to exhange information so freely that innovating and scary JasonBehrLive: at the same time, because sometimes I wonder how much JasonBehrLive: of this information is true, you have to consider the source. JasonBehrLive: So weird, I can talk with somebody in Japan for Crissakes. JasonBehrLive: The techolongy is great, but I am not quite comfortable with it JasonBehrLive: and I don't surf the net as often as I should. JasonBehrLive: Absolutely, it's very flattering, they don;t need to do this JasonBehrLive: they don't need to spend the time doing this ... JasonBehrLive: it's very flattering. It's kind of surreal. I never expected JasonBehrLive: that kind of stuff when I got into this. Question: Are you good friends with the cast? Who's your favorite? JasonBehrLive: It's very flattering JasonBehrLive: It's funny, the very first few months before we started JasonBehrLive: working on the show, we hung out a lot. JasonBehrLive: We decided to get to know each other before we started working JasonBehrLive: those long hours. We found ourselves spending so much time on the set JasonBehrLive: that when we would leave the set, we would go live our own lives. JasonBehrLive: We've been getting a lot better as we've sort of got used JasonBehrLive: to the scheduel. We are hanging out a lot more JasonBehrLive: now than we have in a long time. JasonBehrLive: Not really .. we're pretty good to each other JasonBehrLive: There's no real super huge pranks or anything like that. JasonBehrLive: Every now and then, that might have happened. JasonBehrLive: We have a thing that we could out and jama juice a lot JasonBehrLive: some of the cast embers just get more fiber. Question: Do you have another passion, aside from acting? JasonBehrLive: I like to spend a lot of time with my family. JasonBehrLive: It's the most important thing to me. But, I spend a lot of time JasonBehrLive: outdoors with my family and my dog, spend a lot of JasonBehrLive: time with my dog. I like to play basketball a lot. JasonBehrLive: I'm really a student of film, I really enjoy the film process. JasonBehrLive: I watch as many movies as I can when I have free time. JasonBehrLive: It depends on the beginning of the season, you pretty much JasonBehrLive: know what is going on the first half of the year. JasonBehrLive: Things keep popping up, you have no idea. JasonBehrLive: I could ont tell you what is happening in the next episode, other than Question: jason i love u! my name is adriana and my question is what do u Question: think is hardest scene youve done on roswell? JasonBehrLive: the one we are shooting right now, I don't know what is happening. JasonBehrLive: There are two kinds of real difficult scenes. JasonBehrLive: They are the ones that are physically draining, like there is JasonBehrLive: this one scene where I had to run through the streets of Roswell. JasonBehrLive: We probably started shooting around 1 o'clock and didn't stop JasonBehrLive: shooting until 6 in the morning. All I did was run, no dialogue JasonBehrLive: just running. That was very physically draining. There JasonBehrLive: are also ones that are emotionally draining, like when Max heals JasonBehrLive: the children in the hospital. Me, just being there and the whole JasonBehrLive: idea of trying to give thes kids the gift back, it JasonBehrLive: was very emotionally draining to me. Question: What's the hardest part of max's personality for you to portray? JasonBehrLive: Probably, his decision making. A lot of times what frustrates JasonBehrLive: mes about the cahracter, a lot of times he is so cautiois and so thoughtfukl JasonBehrLive: of things, he doesn;t know which way to go. JasonBehrLive: He sometimes can be so cautious, almost paralyzing. He doesn't JasonBehrLive: do anything. He nedss to be more practive and make decision Question: any movies on the horizon? JasonBehrLive: reight along. At least he could say that he made a judgement. JasonBehrLive: Right now most of my focus is on the show, I would JasonBehrLive: love to do films. I enjoy watching films as I said before, I enjoy JasonBehrLive: the whole prcoess of it. When I get the opportunity to move into JasonBehrLive: that venue, I will. Right now, the scripts I've been reading, the stories JasonBehrLive: that are being told, are not the most unique stories out there. JasonBehrLive: I'm just waiting for the right one. JasonBehrLive: There are some things that are going to happen in the next few episodes JasonBehrLive: that really do change the lives of all these kids. JasonBehrLive: Some things that are going to come up that aren't really JasonBehrLive: expected, or expected in a way that none of them JasonBehrLive: are really ready for. JasonBehrLive: probably when Max sang. I couldn't believe they did that to him JasonBehrLive: There is this episode called End of the World, this future JasonBehrLive: version of Max comes back to present-day Roswell JasonBehrLive: to break up Liz and Max, the younger Max tries to sing to her, and I JasonBehrLive: was really surprised by that. I knew Max couldn't sing, so JasonBehrLive: I don't know why he was. Question: Have you heard anything about viewers wanting Roswell to bring the Question: core characters and relationships back as the focus of the show? Question: Are their plans to guide Roswell back into that direction? JasonBehrLive: These hyberchronicles are pretty science fiction-based, we are going JasonBehrLive: to slow it down a bit and find out how it effected the characters. JasonBehrLive: Swing it back the other way JasonBehrLive: It's interesting because when we were first doing the pilot JasonBehrLive: we heard some temp music of what the theme was going to be JasonBehrLive: We didn't want that thing like Dawason's Creek, like a one-hit JasonBehrLive: wonder. We really didn't want that, the first time we heard Dido, it JasonBehrLive: felt so appropriate, and so perfect to the show. I haven't got sick of JasonBehrLive: it yet, and I think she is very talented, and I ma very happy with her JasonBehrLive: success. I think her teaming up with Eminem helped her incredibly. JasonBehrLive: She is a very talented artist to have her lead the show it great. JasonBehrLive: She had come to Los Angeles during the first season and gave a concert, a few JasonBehrLive: of the castmemebers were able to go, but I was working and I couldn't be there. JasonBehrLive: I was kind of pissed because I wanted to be there. JasonBehrLive: Not so much advice on how to deal with fans, but how to deal with JasonBehrLive: the pressure I guess. Frakes is a great guy, and directed a few JasonBehrLive: episodes last year. He is a lot of fun to work in, he has a great JasonBehrLive: personality that is good for the cast and the crew. JasonBehrLive: He is a lot of fun to be around. JasonBehrLive: Sure, that's one of the nice things about it, you can always JasonBehrLive: give suggestions to Jason for what you believe could be JasonBehrLive: a good character arc, or what you think your character JasonBehrLive: should be doing at this time. It's up to him at the time JasonBehrLive: at what his character wants to do, but he is very polite JasonBehrLive: Absolutely. I think from the very first show, his world was turned upside down JasonBehrLive: he was exposing himself to Liz and the cafe changed his life forever. JasonBehrLive: As the days go one, his resposinsibility of keeping this all JasonBehrLive: a secret and not being discovere.d I think the discovery of being JasonBehrLive: the supposed king of this so-called planet is a huge respomsibility. JasonBehrLive: He never asked for this repomsibnility and doesn't know how to feel that JasonBehrLive: respomsinility. JasonBehrLive: I think he has a lot of pressure on him. he is going through a lot of JasonBehrLive: stuff and has a lot of pressure. JasonBehrLive: They break stories and decide which direction of the show. OnlineHost: Thank you for joining us!
