I have a fun time, doing the meet and greets, the pictures and the autographs. Every show I've ever done, lends itself to that kind of thing. My convention life has legs.
I'm from Oregon. This is a town of no. I say no to a lot of things, and I get told no for a lot of things. Sometimes there's a yes, and you hope you see something in it.
I do Comic-Con and stuff all over the world. They can be taxing and they can take it out of you a little bit, but it's just great for the fans. They get such a kick out of it.
I love TV, don't get me wrong. But with film, you're just banging out this one product and you're not waiting on another script. You have your script. It's great, in that way.
When we said go, they went. They took our words seriously.
I did a Children of the Corn remake for Sci Fi Channel. I play the Peter Horton role from the original, and Candace McClure from Battlestar Galactica is my Linda Hamilton.
TV has been very good to me, and I hope I've been good to it, but I also love film.
I miss theater. I miss living the arc of the character, from curtain to curtain, and I miss the immediate audience response.
When you're with Chris Wylde, there's never not laughter.
