sga_squee It took me quite a while to do this, so please link here rather thandon't just cut and paste it to your own journals. The download is the complete video we recorded at EMS. Download 30m WMV of complete talk. .
JF: So, who’s next? Oh, oh - Watch out there’s a girl with a broomstick competing for the microphone.
Q: Your favourite joke or one-liner from the Atlantis series?.
JF: Favourite joke or one-liner from Atlantis? Man, that I can say to you guys? I don’t, let’s see… favourite joke or one liner? I don’t know, I don’t, to be honest with you, my reality is kind of off camera. Like, all the funny humour that happened is usually when the cameras aren’t rolling. So anything on camera was generally scripted, and consequently a lot less funny – heeheehee, pressers joke. I mean there’s funny parts, but, I mean David Hewlett has probably had to have all the best one-liners, right? But did I have some good ones? I don’t know, maybe we should ask them (to audience) I’m sure they…
Q: You had a good one in ‘Hide and Seek’ where you go ‘I shot him.’
JF: I did? What did I say?
Q: ‘I shot him’
JF: ‘I shot him’… Oh yeah! You know what? That was my line.
Q: In-vulne-rable.
JF: Yeah, that actually was. I remember saying that. Oh, there was a couple of ones, I only remember the ones I came up with ‘cause I’m like, “Oh this is funny – I made it up! Hu hu hu.” And the writers, I’d always call up and say ‘Why don’t we say this?’ and they usually were like ‘I think that’s a bad idea’ but I remember there was one thing where there was some wraith and we had to capture her and I’d go ‘Oh save me your wraith with the heart of gold type of thing’ and some of these things are kind of funny, and they actually work, but you really have to fight for them. (* see note at the end) Actually one of my favourite lines ever in, maybe a terrible movie, which was called – I don’t even like saying the name of this movie – it’s called Ferocious Planet.. bleeeurgh (mimes vomiting.) It was called The Other Side; it was a science Fiction movie that I did, shot in Ireland and this US senator screaming at me: BLAH BLAH BLAH – and I’m a marine colonel - and he’s blah blah blah blah blah blah and then he, I say ‘No, you can’t leave, there’s dangers out there. Don’t go out there. There’s a monster out there’ and he’s like ‘I’ll tell you what to do son! Blah, blah, blah’ and he walks out the door and gets killed by a monster. And my, I just said on camera, I was like ‘I guess he won’t running for re-election…’ and I was fine. Well when we gave this stuff to the network they didn’t know what to do with it because they weren’t looking for anything funny. So a lot of these things were kind of cut out.
And then they changed the name of the movie to…Ferocious Planet, and I think that says it all, but if you’re going to be a genre show I like it when you’re self-deprecating – or you better be really, really good and have very high production values. But un-ironic homage to a genre is a little tiring I think for audiences at this stage, but don’t ask me, I’m not a network executive.
Did somebody have a question? (Struggles with mic lead) I feel like a dog – rarrrw! Rarrw!
Q: Hi, I had a question about the picture this morning with the tattoo How many hours did that take?
JF: Well initially it took… well, I’ll tell you the first time it took a couple of hours and after that it was just a maintenance issue. It didn’t take too long. It wasn’t too bad because it was a decal thing. They didn’t do henna – it was outlawed. If we’d done henna, actually, it would have been easier, but henna is apparently illegal in Romania. Don’t as me why. You can get uranium, but you can’t get henna? Alright… ok.
Q: Are there any existing characters – that you’ve never played – that you’d like to if you got the chance?
JF: Oh-ho, there’s so many, where do I start? Any of the Indiana Jones, I love those. Love those. Obviously Han Solo influenced on me, and - look and that’s Harrison Ford… I want to be Harrison Ford! Erm, let’s see there are quite a few good roles and I liked that Deadwood series but I felt like that – when the script came out, I was working and I really wanted to read for that, but I guess I couldn’t contractually or something. And that character had this thing, with the way it was written as a pilot it was going to be a great character – I don’t think it became that in the series. Ian McShane pretty much really devoured the whole show because he’s so good – he’s just amazing on that show – I would have liked to have played that role (**see note) and I think that it would have been really fun ‘cause unfortunately there was nobody there to go toe-to-toe and kind of push him back, and that I think would have created some really cool stuff on that show.
And there’s a lot – I mean we could go into a lot - almost all of Paul Newman’s roles are just incredible, could see me in those roles. The only thing that makes me angry is when I watch a movie and I feel like the guys are being given a chance to really hit it out of the park and they don’t. And there’s a lot of male leading men that I think are just not taking advantage of the material that’s given to them and it’s not always their fault. It could be directing, it could be editing, it could be the studio – there’s a million things – but it’s unnerving to watch an opportunity for somebody and then not have them do a good job. It would be like sitting on the bench in the World Series and watching somebody not play second base as good as you can play second base, and that makes me a little crazy. Which is why I’m going to kill them.
Q: I’ve seen you and David Hewlett on stage together now - Vancouver Con
JF: That’s unfortunate for you.
Q: I’m used to you together.
JF: That’s why I’m so happy - I’m up here without David Hewlett.
Q: I know you’re not sharing the stage today, but I was wondering if you had any plans to work together again somewhere the in future? Cos you two do quite a lot of travelling around the world. (They talk over each other.)
JF: You mean on stage?
Q: Any media, you two, you play of each other really well.
JF: I asked him to come over and help me with splitting some firewood that would be work together. He hasn’t done that. Oh no, we’ll do something for sure together, oh I’m sure we will. We keep talking about it, and you know, we have a number of ideas and I told him that when I got back from Romania we’re going to sit ourselves down and hammer something very specific out that we talked about - and stop waiting for people to say they’re doing Stargate movies and things like that.
Q: Is there any chance you’re going to be at the last Creation Vancouver, convention?
JF: The last what?
Q: The last Creation Vancouver convention.
JF: Is that the last one?
Q: That’ll be the last one; they’re wrapping it up now.
JF: Really?
Q: Yeah
JF: When is it?
Q: April
JF: I don’t know. I, probably, I think they’ve invited me. I don’t know.
Q: Well we’d love for you to come back again.
JF: That’s so far away…global warming…we may all be dead. I don’t know. April seems very away. But I think so; they usually invite me to that one. So, I will you know, unless I’m – I’d obviously prefer doing movies and stuff than doing a convention because ultimately it’s about the work, you know? And I feel like – and I was just saying this to somebody – that the way I feel like I can get back to fans is by giving them more work, as opposed to coming up here, making an ass of myself and forcing you guys to laugh at my jokes. So, you know, that’s what I prefer to do. So, if I don’t show up at those things it’s off because I’m working, but you know…
Q: Hi, about earlier when you said that erm, you kind of get annoyed about when lead male characters don’t take full advantage…
JF: Don’t ask names!
Q: Ha, no, no - do you ever feel that maybe that happened to you during Stargate?
JF: Ahahah! Oh god, I hope not. I’m sure. I’m sure that people, you know I’m sure there’s always some other actor who sits there and says, “I would do it different.” And in truth it’s not really about doing it better, it’s almost always about doing it your way I mean this is not a quantitative thing, acting, you can’t say that guy is better than that guy – although we do say it – you can’t compare them like you can a baseball player, with statistics or something like that. You just simply say what that guy is doing is distinct to him, and that’s his authentic gift.
I saw Christopher Walken last time my nephews were watching that James Bond film with Roger Moore. It was preposterous I look back and I think ‘this movie is so bad, how did I ever think it was good?’ But Christopher Walken is in it, and Christopher Walken is doing what he does and it’s good, and you’ve got to say that nobody does it like him. And so, truthfully, I just like to see a certain level of authenticity. But there are, when you break a script down – and that gets technical, like that’s a craft issue – you break them down and there are beats, and there are things going on, and you’re missing those beats, then you are not doing the work, and the work that could make it better.
When I started Stargate everybody was like, ‘You’re no Richard Dean Anderson, nobody can be Richard Dean Anderson. He’s like God, he’s MacGyver! He’s this.’ And I was like, yeah… but I’ve never even seen SG-1 and so I didn’t even try to be like him, because I didn’t even know what that was. And after a couple of episodes nobody ever asked me that thing anymore. So, you know, I’m fortunate because I was able to do 100 episodes. So people are like, ‘That’s your role, that’s not somebody else’s role.’ So I was lucky in that regard – but, yeah, it can happen. I’m sure somebody thought they could do it better. I know David Hewlett always thought he could do it better.
JF: Yes?
Q: There’s no microphone… (me!)
JF: I can repeat your question (pretending to listen.) You want to see me naked? I’m sorry, not gonna happen!
Q: I really enjoyed A Good Day for It, where you played Doug Brady, and I wondered how you got involved in that film? I think I heard that you had gone for the lead character and then you actually became the Sherriff – which I actually think was a better role. I just thought it was really good and wondered how you got involved in it, the whole cast list is excellent.
JF: There was a movie I did called A Good Day for it, which was like a modern-day western, and they were looking at me for the lead role. I really wanted to do it, and then there was - and I think rightly - they were like ‘this guy is supposed to be somebody who’s been pretty much beaten up, and torn apart, and is in the last chapter of his life as a high criminal’ and they got Robert Patrick. And the truth is he’s got the perfect look for that role. And, erm, they started assembling a cast, and it was an impressive cast, you know, and so the director said ‘Listen, I know this is, I didn't give you the lead role, and I knew you’d be great in it, but I’d love you to be involved in the film, what other roles would you like?’ And I said, “Well the next best role is the Sherriff role.” So I said alright, I’ll do it, and it was a great time. I had a really good time doing that film. It didn’t turn out quite as good as I’d like, but you know, it doesn’t matter. At this at this point in my life I do things and I enjoy the process, and I hope for a good result. Ten years ago it was the opposite - I didn’t enjoy the process as much, and I was obsessed with the result. I don’t have control over the result. I just throw up my hands; I say “hopefully it will turn out well, but I’m really enjoying being here with these great actors and doing what I do.” I don’t really know what I do; I’m still trying to figure that out.
Q: Briefly, Fringe was up 25% on its last episode with you in it, because of Stargate fans watching it.
JF: Fringe was? Oh, we like that. That’s good. Oh, those things are important because… they speak, yeah, those things are important. But maybe that was just the premiere numbers? Right? No? Is that England, or US?
Q: US.
JF: I’M THE GREATEST PERSON IN THE WORLD! Ok, well we’ll try to convince the network executives that I have value on that show - Other than BEING DEAD.
MC: We have time for one last question.
JF: One last question – the lady in purple. Lady in purple.
I did this thing, you know, for Warehouse 13, and you know, they were kind of banking on the whole Stargate fanbase thing. And I did it, and after I did it I got really nervous. I was like, “Oh my god, if I don’t give them the numbers then I’m just another schmuck, and I’m going to have a hard time getting hired!” And thankfully the fans showed up for that episode and it was the highest rated episode – the highest rated EVENT, period - in the entire network history. And so I was like, “Ah, thank god, thank god.”
Q: You said you were doing Fringe, is there any other programme coming up that you’re going to be in?
JF: Well, I just like four or five days ago wrapped this film with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and I am going to… with this convention in Marseilles at the end of October and straight from there to Brussels to do a TV series that Sony has, that’s based on Heavy Metal comic book – remember that? And it’s called; the French call it Métal Hurlant: h-u-r-l-a-n-t. I looked at it and it looked really cool. I was like, this is cool it’s kind of like Blade Runner, but even more bad-ass. And I was like – that’s cool - I actually said yes. I don’t know why I said yes, I’ve never done a non-American TV show - although this will probably travel around. And so help me - this looks very cool. It’s kind of like what I would have done had we had no ratings issue on Stargate. You know, I would a just cranked up the volume a little. But, hopefully that turns out well – I’m looking forward to doing it - and hopefully you guys can see it pretty soon. Well, thank you guys for coming, and I hope I’ll see you guys in a little while, or I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you.
After talk – snippet of chat:
JF: That’s good news, where did you hear that?
Couple of notes:
*As Joe continued with this little anecdote it was obvious that it was slowly dawning on him that he couldn’t remember the funny line at all - or even the situation that clearly. Poor guy, his eyes got a little ‘I have no idea where I am going with this sentence. Fuck…’ I’m pretty sure that he is talking about this scene in SGA 5:03 ‘Broken Ties’ because it sounds like something Joe would have said in a read-through:
WRAITH: Kneel.
SHEPPARD: You know, what'd be really creepy and unexpected is if you knelt instead.
(The Wraith glowers at him. Tyre fiercely kicks the back of John's knees. Grimacing, he crumples into a kneeling position.)
SHEPPARD (painfully): I guess not. All right, I'll try and make it work.
WRAITH: I appreciate your defiance.
**Joe is obviously talking about wanting to read for the Seth Bullock role in Deadwood.
JF: So, who’s next? Oh, oh - Watch out there’s a girl with a broomstick competing for the microphone.
