Was it strange continuing on the show after Crais' death?
It was, though at least I was still working.
It also meant that I had a stake in the show that I was very proud of, and to this day I think the show has made its stamp. Farscape made a stamp and a mark in science fiction history forever, and I'm very very proud. To continue having Pilot as a character in there and being part of the show, I was very happy [about].
In terms of science fiction shows in history, it's been a really amazing journey, and an incredible one in terms of the storyline that came out of it, the twists and turns.
I remember David Kemper saying in one interview, "We're not inventing the wheel, but what we are doing with it is giving it a completely different spin." And it was true.
The sad thing is, it was really really unfortunate that Australians didn't really get to see the quality of the show. In Australia at the time, you had the Olympics, and the whole country was behind it in terms of the quality of the athletes. In the arts, there was a little show that wasn't being plugged, and the head of programming for Channel 9 at the time, really missed the mark.
Has it now been shown in Australia?
It's been shown in bits and pieces. Now I think it's on Fox Kids. But it's an adult show.
