I actually started, this year, doing some voiceovers. I did some radio spots, and some games.
I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.
I only knew basic western trail riding. Nothing fancy.
I think Sarah Michelle Gellar has done some brilliant work as Buffy.
I loved playing Darla.
The great thing about working on a genre show is that you can basically have a season finale where every character is left destroyed, and then hit the reset button and come back for the next season.
I trained 8 hours a day 7 seven days a week and I had 2 weeks off in a year.
Um, and I'm also very proud of my work on George of the Jungle 2.
But I never worked with a northern horse before. They are very different from western horses.
It's very exciting to have fan response and fan reaction.
There were a couple of years where I was skating and acting at the same time.
You don't realize how much a part of your character is part of yourself until you are no longer playing that character.
Oh, well, in Los Angeles everybody is an actor, or a producer, or a writer, or a director, or an agent, or... So everybody understands the hours.
I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.
