Q: With “Ghosts” such a hit now, what are your thoughts about having so much of your series work based in the supernatural? A: I’m starting to wonder if I’m ever going to get a “regular” job, not playing somebody at least half dead, again. I guess I found my niche. I’m really excited to be in a genre kind of theme, as much as it’s hopefully grounded and is this (premise) that we can all relate to as humans. One of the things I get most excited about — and I was so fortunate with “iZombie” to have this – is to see people dressing up, getting lost in another world. I think some of the fans in this kind of theme are the most dedicated, creative, imaginable people out there. I feel really lucky that this world would take me back again. Q: Were you a fan of the genre before you became so involved in it yourself? A: I grew up in New Zealand, doing bit parts on all the shows that came out (there). We call ourselves the “Sword and Sandals Country”; we have “Hercules,” “Xena,” “The Lord of the Rings.” I think I always grew up with an appreciation that as an actor, you get this chance to go into this other world, whatever that might mean. As much as I have been able to hopefully play some grounded versions, and some more heightened or stylized things, I kind of feel the best part of the job is being able to get in and dress up and become something that isn’t just you every day … the escapism that comes in a show like this, and the humor. I just feel like something that I want to (watch) at the end of the day is something that makes me laugh and something that kind of is a great escape from whatever the day may have been. The genre stuff has always been fun, but it’s really at its peak right now.
