I can go to a movie theater and watch a movie I was in with an audience... but with television, the opportunity to meet the fans at Comic Con or any other situation, it's a chance to enter that circle; it's that sharing.

It's a fascinating job, to come in and be the most interesting person in an episode. Whoever the guest star is, that's the job - to maintain the interest and the focus for that 42 minutes or whatever, and it should be a huge relief to those people that are the leads in the shows.

It seems to realize itself to be some of the most exciting TV and films that are made. Sci-fi just has that ability.

When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.
