\nRoswell close encounters – for authorized eyes only<\/h3>\n
The WB has given us one more reason to look forward to Wednesday nights. Roswell airs at 9 p.m. following Dawson\u2019s Creek and it\u2019s packed with hot hunks, daring chicks and gripping story lines. If you\u2019ve been living under a rock for the last couple of months, here\u2019s the lowdown on the hottest new show that is truly out of this world.<\/p>\n
The Story<\/strong>
\nIn the infamous Roswell, New Mexico, Liz Parker (Shiri Appleby) serves up grub to tourists in her dad\u2019s restaurant, Crashdown Cafe. When an argument between customers turns violent, Liz gets caught in the crossfire. It doesn\u2019t look good for Liz until classmate Max Evans (Jason Behr) saves her life with a magical touch and soulful gaze.<\/p>\nTurns out Max is \u201cnot of this earth\u201d and in saving Liz, he has put himself, sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl) and bud, Michael Guerin (Brendan Fehr) in serious danger. Max reveals that the trio was aboard the UFO that crashed in Roswell over fifty years ago. After they emerged from incubation pods, they were adopted by locals and lead normal lives.<\/p>\n
But, Max\u2019s heroics have changed all that. Now Sheriff Valenti (William Sadler) is suspicious and Max has lost Isabel and Michael\u2019s trust by spilling their secret. The rest of the cast is in shambles as well: Liz\u2019s best friend, Maria De Luca (Majandra Delfino) is freaked out by the news and the girls don\u2019t think their childhood friend, Alex Whitman (Colin Hanks) can handle it. Liz\u2019s ex-boyfriend and son of the sheriff, Kyle Valenti (Nick Wechsler) has joined his father in his quest to bring down the Evans family, after suspecting Liz has feelings for Max.<\/p>\n
Which leads us to one of the best reasons to tune in – the blossoming romance between Liz and Max as a modern day Romeo and Juliet. These star-crossed lovers have one colossal problem – they are different species.<\/p>\n
Fun On The Set<\/strong>
\nBrendan, 21, reveals that he and Jason, 25, are always goofing off in between takes. \u201c[The conversation] usually ends up being kind of perverted. Not in a really gross sense. But I mean… our sense of humor is so immature, we find absolutely anything funny.\u201d<\/p>\nThe stars make fun of each other, but it\u2019s all in good spirits. Cast members imitate one another and play up each other\u2019s mistakes – all in the name of friendly competition. Brendan gets teased a lot when his native Canadian accent slips out.<\/p>\n
Do You Believe?<\/strong>
\nNo wonder Roswell seems so real – the actors really prepared for their roles. Jason says he saw \u201cE.T. The Extra-Terrestrial\u201d about 12 times. Seriously, he also read a lot of books and watched documentaries about Roswell.<\/p>\nThe cast believes that aliens may exist. \u201cI think working on the show you really have no other choice but, you know, to kind of believe that there is a possibility,\u201d Shiri, 20, says laughing.<\/p>\n
Real Life<\/strong>
\nSo, have any of the stars of Roswell ever felt alienated in real life? Jason confesses that he was a \u201cshrimp\u201d growing up: \u201cI was probably half the size of my friends and half the size of most of my girlfriends. I felt just as awkward and misunderstood and lost as a lot of people do.\u201d<\/p>\nJason reveals that he did a lot of soul-searching in those days, much like his character, Max. Jason also had to endure people mistaking him for a girl on the phone. Of course, that would never happen to him now.<\/p>\n
Speaking of real life – Colin Hanks is the son of superstar Tom Hanks of course. You saw the resemblance, right? But don\u2019t expect Colin to talk up this famous relationship. He wants to be appreciated as an actor in his own right; no special favors for this guy.<\/p>\n
Sensitive Alien<\/strong>
\nJason is as dreamy in real life as he is in Roswell. Check out this babe\u2019s thoughts on love: \u201cWhen I\u2019m in love, I don\u2019t like to talk about it too much. Words can\u2019t fully express the emotion.\u201d Jason also reveals that he loves to paint: \u201cI\u2019m an aspiring Picasso.\u201d Looks, talent, sensitivity, what more could a girl ask for?<\/p>\nWe can\u2019t get enough of Roswell and we know you can\u2019t either. Luckily, you can get a weekly dose every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on the WB.<\/p>\n

Wearing a thin black lycra duster, bearly {barely} hinting at her red-red gown, the large flowers towards the bottom of the dress made the formal attire fun and mysterious.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
