And then there&#8217;s<br \/>\nthe striking resemblance to David Duchovny. &#8220;A lot of people see that,&#8221;<br \/>\nhe says. &#8220;But,&#8221; he adds, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get it in terms of acting style.&#8221;<br \/>\nNevertheless, the resemblance could hardly have been an accident:<br \/>\nDuchovny pursues aliens on &#8220;The X-Files&#8221;, and Fehr was chosen to play<br \/>\none on &#8220;Roswell&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old Fehr was plucked from a pool of struggling Canadian<br \/>\nactors by a casting agent barely a year ago to star in &#8220;Roswell&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;Everything&#8217;s falling into place and I don&#8217;t know what I did to deserve<br \/>\nit,&#8221; he declares. &#8220;I&#8217;m waiting for the guillotine to fall.&#8221; For now,<br \/>\nthough, his head remains intact- complete with hair that owes its<br \/>\nradical style to Drew Barrymore, circa 1995. &#8220;I&#8217;d seen her on a<br \/>\nlate-night talk show and she had this cute little haircut, kinda spiky.<br \/>\nI wanted a cross between that and Keanu Reeves in &#8220;Speed&#8221;.&#8221; His cool<br \/>\ncoif has caught so much attention that he worries, &#8220;If I ever go bald I<br \/>\nwonder if I&#8217;m gonna be out of a job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fehr makes the leap to the big screen this month, portraying a doomed<br \/>\nairline passenger in the supernatural thriller &#8220;Final Destination&#8221; (aka<br \/>\n&#8220;Flight 180&#8221;), which stars Devon Sawa and Ali Larter as teens<br \/>\ninvestigating psychic phenomena. According to Fehr, it&#8217;s sheer<br \/>\ncoincidence that his two current projects are supernaturally tinged.<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m the guy who says I don&#8217;t want to do anything supernatural, but I<br \/>\nthought the script for &#8220;Final Destination&#8221; was brilliant.&#8221; He has no<br \/>\nsuch confidence in the scripts for &#8220;Roswell&#8221;: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got all this teen<br \/>\nstuff coming out and you throw in aliens, which is hardly ever done<br \/>\nwell. I thought it was a recipe for disaster.&#8221; That, Fehr would be the<br \/>\nfirst to admit, shows you what he knows about Hollywood. Then again, as<br \/>\nfar as Hollywood goes, Fehr walks to his own drummer. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been<br \/>\ndrunk, never done drugs, and I&#8217;m still the big V,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I believe<br \/>\nsex should wait till marriage.&#8221; It that&#8217;s the truth, in the world of<br \/>\nHollywood, it&#8217;s definitely out there&#8230;- Gary Socol<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Gina for sending this in!
