The first movie my dad ever showed me was Predator - I was five. And I think the second one was Jaws. I've has this understanding of fiction for a very, very long time but I've also had this thing where I've idolized the male action heroes because that's what I watched with my dad.

I don't take myself that seriously, I'm taking the piss out of myself. I can't really beat up guys, it's fun!

Science fiction fans are awesome, they love you so much that they'll watch anything you do, even if it's complete crap. I never dreamed that I would go to conventions and sit down and have coffee with a Klingon. It's so weird, but it's my life.

I hate horror movies, with a passion.

It's a very, very rare moment when another actor hurts you. I mean, that's not normal.

I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

Every job after the first job I got was icing on the cake. This is so much fun.
