People go back and forth all the time. I was more concerned about the direction of the character.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As Roswell&#8217;s Sheriff Jim Valenti, Sadler&#8217;s been able to broaden his character beyond the strict lawman of the first season. &#8220;There are a lot of firsts for me with this show,&#8221; Sadler said. &#8220;I never had an on-screen romantic entanglement until now. I&#8217;ve never worked with these kind of special effects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Executive producer Jonathan Frakes (who played Cmdr. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation) told the AP that Sadler has brought a lot to the role. &#8220;When we started, it was unclear what the part would be and where it would go,&#8221; Frakes said. &#8220;He&#8217;s taken the character from just a hard-nosed sheriff to a complex man dealing with issues&#8211;from his relationship with his dad to the one with his son.&#8221; Roswell airs Mondays at 9 p.m.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Sheila for this: From Scifi.com: Updated 12:30pm ET on 17-November-2000 9:00am ET, 16-November-00 Sadler Happy He Chose Roswell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2378],"tags":[14],"coauthors":[2273],"class_list":["post-1241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leading","category-william-sadler","tag-william-sadler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28422,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1241\/revisions\/28422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1241"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
