It&#8217;s a Q&#038;A Brendan did over the phone while he<br \/>\nwas filming his latest movie.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As a Canadian living in LA what do you most miss about the Great White North?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a real different vibe up there in terms of community and stuff like<br \/>\nthat. By comparison, its relatively small, but we don&#8217;t live in igloos and we<br \/>\nhave all the ammenities that a big city like Los Angeles has.<\/p>\n<p>What was it like growing up in Winnipeg?<\/p>\n<p>There was just no reason to get all fancied up, and if you did, we made fun<br \/>\nof you. In Winnipeg, you go to the bar and if you want to look real spiffy,<br \/>\nlike if you&#8217;re with a chick, you tuck in the flannel shirt.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the first fashion fad you remember hitting Winnipeg?<\/p>\n<p>We never really paid attention to fads. We&#8217;re like Joe Dirt, but we know it.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to speak for the whole city and get everybody mad, but I<br \/>\ndefinitely think thats someone we would enjoy hanging out with. Winnipeg is<br \/>\nthe epitome of the tight jeans and white high tops with the tongue sticking<br \/>\nout. We&#8217;re still stuck in the mode of mullets.<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever have a mullet?<\/p>\n<p>I have a mullet right now.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you know what your doing?<\/p>\n<p>Kind of, yeah. The tops getting long as well, but the back is actually<br \/>\ntouching my shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, thats impressive.<\/p>\n<p>And we enjoy hard rock music. AC\/DC could sell out six nights in a row in<br \/>\nWinnipeg. When Metallica is there, the town just goes nuts. When I went back<br \/>\nand I had totally forgotten about it. I&#8217;m listening to the radio station and<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re like, &#8220;Coming up, its Mandatory Metallica&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s Mandatory Metallica?<\/p>\n<p>Every night at 10 o&#8217;clock, they have to play Metallica. It&#8217;s just a staple of<br \/>\nthis one station in Winnipeg. I&#8217;m a huge fan of Metallica and anything heavy<br \/>\nmetal thats done with a certain sense of style. Not easy to listen to, but<br \/>\nhigh energy, and you want to scream to it instead of bobbing your head back<br \/>\nand forth between your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;re a teen idol on Roswell, has anyone accused you of being an<br \/>\negomaniac yet?<\/p>\n<p>The thing that everybody will say is that I have a thing about my hair. I&#8217;ve<br \/>\ndone my own hair on everything i&#8217;ve ever done. I really don&#8217;t like people<br \/>\ntouching it, and I work with my own hair every day, so I know what it does<br \/>\nand all the crazy cowlicks and whatever else. So basically before every take,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll look in the mirror to see if its fallen or if its sticking up, becasue<br \/>\nif I&#8217;m going to be on television, I want to look how I want to look.<\/p>\n<p>Of course.<\/p>\n<p>The hair people look after the other people. And the hair people put just as<br \/>\nmuch effort into their hair as I do my own, but it just looks funny when the<br \/>\nactor&#8217;s doing it, especially being a guy. So on one of the last days of the<br \/>\nseason, I&#8217;m sitting on the couch doing a scene and a director comes up to me<br \/>\nand he&#8217;s like, &#8220;Are you ready? and I&#8217;m like, &#8220;Yeah, lets shoot it. And he&#8217;s<br \/>\nlike, &#8220;Oh, wait just one second&#8221;. Suddenly, everybody in the room-grips,<br \/>\nelectrics, camera department, directors, producers-whips out a tiny pocket<br \/>\nmirror with my picture on it, flips it open and starts fiddling with their<br \/>\nhair. I though it was rather humerous.<\/p>\n<p>Most guys have a thing for a girl in uniform. What kind do you think is the<br \/>\nhottest?<\/p>\n<p>The Catholic schoolgirl uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s just something about it. When I was in school, you just automatically<br \/>\ndid a double take when girls had that nice blue-and-green plaid skirt on with<br \/>\nthe socks pulled up high&#8230;.that Britney Spears thing in her first video,<br \/>\neven though I didn&#8217;t really dig Britney Spears in that video.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have an item of clothing that you&#8217;re superstitious about?<\/p>\n<p>I do have a lucky pair of underwear.<\/p>\n<p>Do you wear them for big auditions?<\/p>\n<p>Once in a while, but I don&#8217;t wear them anymore because they&#8217;re almost<br \/>\nunwearable, so I&#8217;ve got to be really selective. I mean they&#8217;re almost turning<br \/>\nto dust at this point, so in order to take them out, it&#8217;s got to be a really<br \/>\nbig event.<\/p>\n<p>When did you realize they were lucky?<\/p>\n<p>They just kind of turned lucky. There&#8217;s no going, &#8220;These are my lucky<br \/>\nunderwear&#8221;, I wore them for a lot of sports, and then you realize that you<br \/>\nhave to have them when the big game comes up.<\/p>\n<p>Even though you&#8217;re on TVnow, do you still wash your own socks?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big laundry freak. I can only wear clothes once before I have to wash<br \/>\nthem or it grosses me out. Jeans I can now, wear two, maybe three times, but<br \/>\nthats on the verge of me not feeling comfortable in them. They have to be<br \/>\nwashed, crisp and clean and smell like Bounce.[b]\n<p>How does your lucky underwear fare in the washing maching?<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, they&#8217;re on the verge of becoming dust. I have to be very<br \/>\nselective about why and how I&#8217;m going to wash them. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Lisa (guerinschick) for sending this in :) This is from FHM magazine.
