Who Says Roswell Rocks?<\/strong>
\nFans, sure. But find out what the out-of-this-world cast members love about
\ntheir show. By Alyssa Vitrano<\/p>\nWhen Roswell landed on the WB last fall, it was clear that the show was going
\nto stir up sensation here on planet Earth. Never before have aliens been so
\nsmart, so sensitive, so … swoonworthy. But the kids at Roswell High offer
\nmuch more than mere view pleasure. Every week, the very human
\nextraterrestrial provide a cool way to explore some of the toughest battles
\nof teen life: the struggle to figure out where you fit in, the fear of
\nexposing your true self (no matter how bizarre), and the devastation of
\nfalling for someone who’s a different species! Just think of Max and Liz as
\nthe Romeo and Juliet of TV land. But hey, don’t take our word for it.
\nHere’s why actors themselves think Roswell rules.<\/p>\nTapping Into Teen Power<\/strong>
\n“Any teenager growing up and changing and experiencing life hasn’t yet
\nrealized his or her own potential. On the show, the aliens are learning what
\ntheir powers are and trying to figure out where they fit in this world and
\nwhat they can achieve. You can apply that situation to a lot of people in
\nhigh school.” Jason Behr (Max)<\/p>\nBud Bonding<\/strong>
\n“I’m really excited about the friendship between Liz and Maria. They’re best
\nfriends till the end, and it’s nice to see girls like and trust each other on
\nTV, on be catty. I’ve had some really close girlfriends growing up, and those
\nfriendships are what keep me going.” Shiri Appleby (Liz)<\/p>\nDealing With Differences<\/strong>
\n“The whole alien – outcast theme allows us to explore the issue of prejudice.
\nPeople in Roswell are afraid of aliens and don’t see them for who they are;
\nthey see what they think they are. And that’s really the basis of all
\nprejudice. Maybe kids will watch this and start to be more understanding and
\ncompassionate toward each other.” – Katherine Heigl (Isabel)<\/p>\nExplaining The Strange<\/strong>
\n“The plot’s sort of reassuring. I had a teacher in high school who I swore
\nwas from another planet – he always looked and acted the same, never had
\nmoods. So it would make more sense to find out some people aren’t of this
\nworld!” – Majandra Delfino (Maria)<\/p>\nExploring The Unknown<\/strong>
\n“Aliens and the supernatural are things we know very little about, so a
\nwell-done sci-fi show shapes and molds our views. You go watch a movie based
\non any significant historic period and you know what happens. But with this
\nyou don’t know what to expect, what the aliens can do. There is no right
\nanswer.” – Brendan Fehr (Michael)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Amy for sending this in! From: YM, March 2000 Who Says Roswell Rocks? Fans, sure.
