So I was talking to a lovely young lady today who asked me if I missed working on television. That really got me thinking. Sure the early calls were kind of a drag. But there is something to be said about having to be somewhere everyday. It’s easy, it’s like a built in social life. Everyday i went and got to hang out with my friends, my family

Martha says go for it. And we all know that Martha is always right.

Oh darlin' it's so not as easy as that. I kinda sorta asked her out in her comments to her last journal entry. And I kid you not I took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to say it without sounding like a complete dork. I still feel like a total dork. What the hell is wrong with me??? "I'm Chris Stevens!!!" *laughs*

That's exactly why I like working on television. Films are fun, but when you play the same character for 22 episodes a year you get to really develop that character. Plus the steady paychecks are good too. ;)

It's probably why most people will know me as Chris Stevens forever. I really had time to develop that character and make him as much a part of me as anything.

I'd have to say that with the exception of the "ex-con" part, Chris Stevens really was the one charater that was the most like me. Who knows if it's because I played him for so long, or just because he was written that way. All I know was that by the end of the run - it was hard for people to tell sometimes where Chris ended and I began.

Chris was cool, real cool. And I really liked The Visitor too. Too bad it had such a short run. It was one of those 'feel good' sci fi shows I really liked.

The only character I've really played for more than a couple seasons was on Sliders. But I think the most fun part about that was getting to play the different versions of myself from different dimensions. I think by the end Quinn became more like me, but more like how I wanted to be, if that makes sense? He started out geeky then became this tough sort of hero and I thought I was so cool. *lol*

TV is great, man.

[john_corbett]

Yeah.

I love doing sci fi almost as much as romantic stuff. When else do you get to have swords - bend the rules of physics - wear wild costumes - and have a general great time of it! I really loved the Visitor, there was so much more we could have done with it - they just pulled the plug too soon. Ratings... Just like Lucky - I thought that was a great show - so much potential.

Chris became more like me as the seasons progressed. I wasn't 100% happy with the way it ended (NX) but I had a lot of control over Chris' look - so I guess I was fortunate for that. It was just sad the way the run of the show sort of petered out you know. But it did have a great run.

Even if I don’t get the girl, like in Serendipity

What a lovely film that was.

[john_corbett]

Yes it was lovely...as was the girl who dumped me!

How are you darlin'?!

I'm glad you commented, now I can add you!

[k_beckinsale]

Sigh that crazy girl.

I'm very well. How are you, love?

[john_corbett]

I'm getting better. Being new here and all. Trying to make/find friends.

Saw you in Underworld *YOWZA!*
