How did you get into acting? I really got into acting after “Baywatch Hawaii”, prior to that it was luck. I started taking classes when the show ended.
Were you a fan of the feature film or SG-1 before auditioning? No, only because I’m not a big TV fan, actually I don’t own one.
Can you tell us a little about the audition for Stargate Atlantis? One thing comes to mind…After several auditions, I now got to ‘test’ for the role. Unfortunately the night before, my house had a gas leak leaving me very tired, red eyes and kinda blacking out throughout the day…worked for getting the part of Ronon though. I would not recommend this for anyone, including me, but it did take the edge off.
What do you like best about the character Ronan Dex? His hair.
Can you describe how you felt when learned you had won the role of Dex? Like any role you get, you feel like a lottery winner.
Do you like living in Vancouver? Do you ever miss Hawaii? Love Vancouver, Hawaii…sure, I still have family there and I love Hawaiian food.
What personality traits do you share with Ronan Dex? Not too many, Ronon is primal, I’m not…we only share the hair.
You know they will eventually create an action figure of Ronan Dex as well as a character in a video game. How do you feel about this? That would be awesome. I love playing Ronan Dex.
So do you look forward to all of the conventions ahead that you're going to be undoubtedly doing? I have a phobia with large crowds, I feel ill. One on one, I much prefer.
What’s your favorite prop on the show, your gun, your jacket, Etc? The gun.
Do you see any romance in the future for Ronan and Teyla? No.
You are shooting literally next door to SG-1. Have you had a chance to hang out with any of the cast members? Yes, we do share the same lot with SG1, I haven’t had a chance to hang out with everyone from that show. Chris Judge and Beau Bridges were over at my house, it was an honor to sit and talk to him about art, acting…
What do you most look forward to about the years ahead? Starting a family, doing a movie, another art show, finish writing my movie and seeing it on screen…not in any order.
Have you had any conversations with the writers over where you'd like to see the character go in the future? I do have some ideas, but being the new guy on the show, my character has been mapped out for the first season.
Tell us about your fellow cast members. How are you enjoying working with them? Well, first off, everyone accepted me right away. Imagine going to work every day, learning and laughing.
Do you think the show could go for six years or eight years? Sure!
What character have you enjoyed playing the most over the past few years? Ronan Dex, he’s he opposite of who I am.
Now that you’re a big television star, are you going to buy your mother that DVD player she needs? We hear she wants one for Christmas.
She’ll have to see what Santa brings.
Do you keep in touch with any of the cast members from North Shore or Baywatch. Yes, all the time. And my fiancé, Simmone, we met on the set of ‘Baywatch Hawaii’
What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not acting? What are your hobbies? Reading, art, writing, traveling…I rock climb and am learning to kayak.
