\nDaily News Staff Writer<\/p>\nf the WB does decide to pull the plug on its “Roswell” drama, cast member Brendan Fehr isn’t going to lose any sleep.<\/p>\n
He has a fairly laid-back attitude about the pending decision on the show’s future.<\/p>\n
Brendan Fehr (l.) seems down to Earth when discussing ‘Roswell’s’ future.
\n“For me, whatever happens, happens,” he told The News. “If I’m supposed to survive after the show, I will. We had a good time doing the show. We did the best that we could do with all that was given.”<\/p>\n“Roswell” focuses on a group of aliens living in New Mexico. The series blends the sci-fi elements of UFOs and aliens with a traditional coming-of-age drama. Besides Fehr, the show also stars Shiri Appleby, Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl, Majandra Delfino, Colin Hanks, Nick Wechsler and William Sadler.<\/p>\n
It’s not that Fehr doesn’t care about the series, because he does. It’s just that after only a few years in the business, he already understands how fickle and uncertain it can be.<\/p>\n
“I hope it does go again,” he said. “This whole acting business has been very quick and it’s all been a very big bonus for me. But I can forget about it and go home and watch a hockey game.”<\/p>\n
The show has been a critical darling since it launched in the fall, although the Nielsen ratings have not lived up to expectations.<\/p>\n
A decision on the show is due by next week, when the WB announces its fall schedule.<\/p>\n
To show their support, loyal fans have been bombarding the network with bottles of Tabasco sauce \u2014 the aliens’ beverage of choice \u2014 as a way of saying the series is hot.<\/p>\n
“I’m surprised at how well organized it is,” Fehr said of the campaign. “It’s a good show, and when you have a sci-fi show, the fans tend to attach pretty tightly on it.”<\/p>\n
WB executives have frequently stressed their support for the series, but to a point. Everything, of course, is based on ratings. And lately, thanks to a move to Mondays at 9 p.m., ratings have been moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n
“The show is very high-quality and the writing is great,” Fehr said. “It works because everybody does their job so well.”<\/p>\n
Despite the hype and attention garnered by the series, Fehr said he got a giant dose of reality during a recent trip across the country.<\/p>\n
“I was on a plane watching a Discovery special on building bridges,” he said. “I realized how unimportant my job is. Stuff like that kind of hits you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
