Variations Of Colin’s Interview From NY Daily News

Thanks to Seth for sending this in from SciFi:

Hanks Likes Roswell’s SF Bent
Colin Hanks, co-star of The WB’s teen alien series Roswell, told the New
York Daily News that he likes the show’s increasingly SF flavor. “We push
the science fiction now, which is great, because it opens up so many doors,”
Hanks told the newspaper.

Hanks added, “We know more about [the aliens’] history and their purpose.
We’re seven episodes deep [into production]. We’ve been exploring all sorts
of storylines about other aliens out to get us and trying to keep it a
secret.”

Hanks plays Alex Whitman, one of the human high-school students who
befriends and aids the alien teens played by Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl and
Brendan Fehr. Despite his Hollywood pedigree–he’s the son of movie star Tom
Hanks–Colin doesn’t like to stand out. “I’m completely fine with that,” he
said. “I’m just happy to be working. I’m just a 22-year-old actor in L.A.
who works consistently. That’s what really comforts me, that I’m working and
I have money to put food on the table.”
