My Wife Is A Real Camper; It's

The Thing You Realize Pretty Quickly, Though, Is That Being In Front Of An Audience Whose Job It Is To Laugh Is A Big Pressure If The Writing Is Not Hilarious.

[the Lost World] Was A Learning Experience. I Remember We Were Shooting A Scene In Which I Dive Out Of A Boat Into A River To Save The Kid That's In The Movie. And There's No Mention Of A Stuntman, And I Was Like, "no, I'll Go In." Nobody Questioned. I Never Asked If Maybe There Was Malaria In The Water. And I Was Wearing These Tall Boots.

So This ["grant Maclaren"] Was A Chance To Sort Of Go Back And Do A More Leading Man. But Instead Of Just Solving Crimes Like A Csi Show, This Leading Man Is, Like The Other Travelers, Not Who He Appears.

Brad Wright, Who Created Grant Maclaren, Had Me In Mind. We'd Actually Worked Together 20 Years Ago. He Wrote An Episode Of The Outer Limits That I Was In In '96 Or '95? So We'd Been Aware Of Each Other For Years. I'd Lived In Vancouver Off And On, Where He's Based. And It Just Came To Me, And I'm Always Looking For Something Different. Perception Was A Different Show Than Will & Grace.

I'm Never One To Compare Shows To Shows.
