Roswell’s Jason Behr reveals why he felt like an alien in high school<\/strong><\/p>\n
Our favorite martian gives us the inside scoop on his life, his career and
\nhis hopes for the future…<\/p>\nWho said that men from outer space had to be bug-eyed, big-headed, green
\ncreatures? Hey, if all aliens were as cute as Roswell’s Max, we’d shout out,
\n“Come on down!” J-14 hooked up with Max himself, Jason Behr, on the set of
\nthe show’s retro-chic Crashdown Cafe. We sat down with this exciting hottie
\nto get the scoop on what it’s like to play TV’s hunkiest alien.<\/p>\nTrying to fit in
\nLike Max, Jason says he’s felt like and alien at times. “I think everybody
\nhas” he laughs. “I remember the moment I walked into high school. I was
\nprobably a good two feet smaller than every other guy in there. And I felt
\nlike this little boy walking amongst men. They all either had beards or five
\no’ clock shadows. They were all big football players and I felt immediately
\nout of place.”<\/p>\nThose may have been difficult times for this cutie, but he knows how to find
\nthe good in any situation! “Some people wish they could go back and change
\nthings, but if you’re comfortable with who you are and if you’re happy with
\nyour life, then I think the struggles and the problems that we face make us
\nwho we are. I wouldn’t go back and change anything.”<\/p>\nThe Minneapolis native obviously learned a lot about himself in high school.
\nBut, he says, the lesson isn’t over. “I think just the idea of trying to
\nfind out who you truly are is what everybody is trying to do. I don’t know
\nif anybody really knows themselves the way they pretend to. And I don’t
\npretend to know myself that well. I know who I am, but I’m still learning a
\nlot about myself with every experience that comes along. “So I think Max is
\ndoing that, too.”<\/p>\nIn recent episodes, Max learned that he can’t hold his liquor–he gets drunk
\nafter one sip of alcohol–and an intimate encounter between Max and Liz
\nproved that Liz, like aliens, can have flashbacks when with a charmer like
\nMax.<\/p>\nJason, who has been acting since he was five years old, says that just
\nplaying Max is teaching him a thing or two. “I’m learning a lot about other
\npeople. Because you realize, ‘Oh, that might be why this person said this or
\ndid that.’ This whole experience has been one big classroom. I’ve learned
\nso much–not just about character development, not just about acting, and not
\njust about the business. But just about human relationship.”<\/p>\nNow Jason has a whole new set of emotions to learn about and explore as his
\ncharacter recently became involved in a love triangle. “I’m sure he still
\nfeels or is very much in love with Liz,” Jason says, trying to make sense of
\nthe shocking twist. “I don’t know how it’s going to play out. I think
\nthere’s still a lot of exploration of that relationship. There are still a
\nlot of things about Max and Liz that we haven’t touched on yet.”<\/p>\nWhat’s ahead
\nAs production of Roswell wraps up for the season, Jason is faced with what to
\ndo over the summer. Will he follow in the footsteps of Joshua Jackson,
\nJennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and other hot teen stars by using
\nhis time off to star in a feature film? Maybe. “I’m just trying to make the
\nright choice,” he says. “Part of me wants to play something that isn’t in
\nthis sort of (teen)genre,” he says. “But if there’s a great script out
\nthere, then it’s gonna change my mind. For me, it’s just about telling a
\ngood story. When I first read the script for Roswell, it was such a great
\nstory. There’s just so much potential in telling this story and so many
\ndifferent things that we can do with all of the characters. The
\npossibilities are infinite.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Stacy for sending this in!
