And then there&#8217;s the striking resemblance to David Duchovny. &#8220;A lot of people see that,&#8221; he says. &#8220;But,&#8221; he adds, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get it in terms of acting style.&#8221; Nevertheless, the resemblance could hardly have been an accident: Duchovny pursues aliens on &#8220;The X-Files,&#8221; and Fehr was chosen to play one on &#8220;Roswell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old Fehr was plucked from a pool of struggling Canadian actors by a casting agent barely a year ago to star in &#8220;Roswell,&#8221; in which he stars with Shiri Appleby, Majandra Delfino and Jason Behr. &#8220;Everything&#8217;s falling into place and I don&#8217;t know what I did to deserve it,&#8221; he declares. &#8220;I&#8217;m waiting for the guillotine to fall.&#8221; For now, though, his head remains intact&#8211;complete with hair that owes its radical style to Drew Barrymore, circa 1995. &#8220;I&#8217;d seen her on a late-night talk show and she had this cute little haircut, kinda spiky. I wanted a cross between that and Keanu Reeves in Speed.&#8221; His cool coif has caught so much attention that he worries, &#8220;If I ever go bald I wonder if I&#8217;m gonna be out of a job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fehr made the leap to the big screen in March, portraying a doomed airline passenger in the supernatural thriller Final Destination, which starred Devon Sawa and Ali Larter as teens investigating psychic phenomena. According to Fehr, it&#8217;s sheer coincidence that his two biggest projects have been supernaturally tinged. &#8220;I&#8217;m the guy who says I don&#8217;t want to do anything supernatural, but I thought the script for Final Destination was brilliant.&#8221; He had no such confidence in the scripts for &#8220;Roswell&#8221;: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got all this teen stuff coming out and you throw in aliens, which has hardly ever done well. I thought it was a recipe for disaster.&#8221; That, Fehr would be the first to admit, shows you what he knows about Hollywood. Then again, as far as Hollywood goes, Fehr walks to his own drummer. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been drunk, never done drugs, and I&#8217;m still the big V,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I believe sex should wait till marriage.&#8221; If that&#8217;s the truth, in the world of Hollywood, it&#8217;s definitely out there&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Sheila, and Leslie who sent this in!
