The basic answer is that I wasn't happy or fulfilled by the job I had and I wanted my life to mean something to me, so I searched my life experience and realized that acting and performing were activities that I enjoyed all aspects of.

I have a superstition about saying too much about what I want to happen, just in case it all disappears, or someone else comes along and beats me to it.

I think people connect better with TV. stars over film stars.

Other effects in the show included models of the ships which were extremely expensive to make. We used to do our shots in front of a blue screen and they'd put the effects on after.

People would say I really loved Buck Rogers until the Hawk guy came on.
