I was spooked when I first got the role, as I was afraid I wouldn't have the companionship I need on a shoot, because I'm so into the process itself, not so much the end product.

To be honest, I never really had watched much sci-fi.

I love being part of the team.

Coming from theater, and having been to acting school, and done little, small Australian independent movies, a lot of the time, it's always about character.

It was hysterical going to work. I would just walk in and think, 'What in hell? Am I here? What's going on? I'm going to wake up in a minute. I'm in a dream.'

It's just so fragile. The growing sense of 'Oh, God, what am I doing Am I any good Will I ever work again' All those questions of self doubt, they do creep in.

You have to have a lifestyle if you live in LA, otherwise it's deadly.
