I play the sheriff of a small town in Pueblo, N.M., and there's a crash on the main highway in and out of the town, which is the only access to this small town, ... I arrive at the crash site to investigate what's happened, and I find something that looks like a small crab leg. I bring it to Nodin [Tonantzin Carmel of Into the West ], our DNA specialist, and she doesn't know what it is, other than that it's an unknown organic lifeform like nothing she's ever seen before.

When I was modeling in Japan, I could blend in a little because of my hair, but my roommates with blonde hair got harassed. People would touch their hair and grope them in the subway. Actually, a lot of groping happens in the subway in Japan, but that's probably true of subways everywhere.

[The cast, thankfully, doesn't think Hurst's job on House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim will be too difficult.] We are hoping that it's going to be much better than the first one. That won't be hard, ... We're trying to erase the first one from people's memories.

[Emmanuelle Vaugier told SCI FI Wire that she's completed production on House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim , a follow-up to Uwe Boll's much-derided House of the Dead , which was based on the video game of the same name.] That was fun, ... We had a good time on that one. [Actor-turned-director] Mike Hurst directed it, and Andy Hurst, his brother, did the second unit.

[Painkiller Jane centers on the title heroine, a young Marine officer who gains rapid self-healing powers after being exposed to a biochemical weapon.] They're slightly different, yet the same, ... Jane doesn't become a different person, necessarily, but things happen in her life that change her perspective on life in general, on who she is, and she starts to question a lot of things. So in her transformation into Painkiller Jane, she becomes a little more hardened and a little more skeptical of the world around her. I didn't treat them as two entirely different characters, but there definitely is a shift that happens.

When I have a little down time, I like to go to the gym and try to bank some hours there. I like to spend time with my dogs, go hiking, do a little traveling.
