“Out Of This World”
\nFormer Winnipegger finds intergalactic success with Roswell series
\nBy Catherine Ogloza<\/p>\n

Ask Roswell star Brendan Fehr how he feels about being selected as one
\nof Teen People’s 25 Hottest Stars Under 25 last May, and this
\n22-year-old interstellar stud will blush.<\/p>\n

“It’s flattering, definitely,” the transplanted Winnipegger chortles.
\n“I’d like to think that if I got bald and a bit wrinkly, people would
\nstill think I’m cool.”<\/p>\n

Currently living in rented quarters in Los Angeles with his Rottweiler,
\nOpa, Fehr’s break in the biz is something out of a fantasy.<\/p>\n

Merely days before beginning classes at the University of Manitoba, Fehr
\nwas vacationing in Vancouver when he was “discovered” and immediately
\nstarted down the performing path, landing his first role in the series
\nBreaker High. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

Trying to visit his friends and family in the ‘Peg four times a year,
\nFehr’s busy schedule, chock full of film and television credits, may
\nhave been less hectic had he followed his gut instinct.<\/p>\n

Landing a role on the hit series Roswell was initially an undesirable
\nundertaking for Fehr.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t want to do it,” he recalls. “Teenagers and science-fiction
\njust didn’t really appeal to me.”<\/p>\n

But Fehr, who plays the role of Michael, one of three extraterrestrials
\nliving in Roswell, New Mexico (site of an alleged 1947 UFO crash) on the
\nWarner Brothers Network’s sci-fi hit, admits he reconsidered after
\nreading the script and understanding the plot.<\/p>\n

“I now realize that I’m in a spot highly envied by a lot of kids,” says
\nFehr, adding, “it is a shock some days. The perks are very nice, the
\nhours are long, but when you just want to relax, it’s hard. You can
\nnever really be off work.”<\/p>\n

Having a familiar face and well-known name has its effects on the rising
\nstar. Noting the fuss that seems to follow him wherever he goes, Fehr
\nsays, “I’m acting. What I do is pretty unimportant in the overall scheme
\nof things.”<\/p>\n

Growing up in New Westminster, B.C., and later moving to the ‘Peg before
\nstriking camp in L.A., Fehr, who most recently costarred in the thriller
\nFinal Destination, says making the move to the States wasn’t too much of
\na culture shock.<\/p>\n

“People down [in L.A.] seem to really dig Canadians,” he snickers.<\/p>\n

“We kind of got a good name.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
