Just ramble on or&#8230;?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> So do we have any questions out there? Or have we answered them all over these ten years? Run to the mic! It\u2019s like a Springer show! Don\u2019t beat anyone up!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> What\u2019s the state of the film industry down under these days?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Well, to put it this way, there\u2019s a major drought. I think we all know what happened globally and financially and it had a big impact. Of course, now that the Australian dollar has bounced back to ninety, it has meant that there are less productions coming down to Australia. So I don\u2019t really see any major American productions for some years now. Well, yes, they\u2019ll probably go to New Zealand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q: <\/strong>For some time there was a flush of production there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> We\u2019ve got a new head of film finance. There are eighteen films that have come out \u2013 Australian films \u2013 so <a title=\"LA-Farscape2009 - LaniTupu - Crais\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9817\" title=\"LA-Farscape2009 - LaniTupu - Crais\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LA-Farscape2009-LaniTupu-001c.jpg\" alt=\"LA-Farscape2009 - LaniTupu - Crais\" width=\"335\" height=\"380\" \/><\/a>it\u2019s looking good from that point of view. We\u2019ve got that cultural thing where a lot of Australians still stay away from seeing their own movies. However, Australian movies really have great critical acclaim overseas and in America. So from that point of view, it\u2019s pretty dry. Television production has slowed down as well. It all goes through cycles. However, Gigi\u2019s in a production.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Yay! I can tell you that it\u2019s definitely been quiet. I didn\u2019t return to Australia until&#8230;I was living in Los Angeles and I put my audition for <em>Rescue<\/em> down in LA and I emailed it through and then I forgot about it. And I studied for it and I researched for it, but you do a couple of auditions a day, quite a few a week, so you\u2019re pumping them out left, right and center, so I put a fair bit of time into it. I didn\u2019t think too much because if you invest too much then you lose ten other jobs. Then I went home for Christmas and that\u2019s when they said, \u201cListen, <em>Rescue<\/em> wants to see you again.\u201d And I went, \u201cWho?\u201d They said, \u201cYou know, that show <em>Rescue<\/em>, it\u2019s a Channel Nine series and Southern Star.\u201d I was like, \u201cOh, wow, that\u2019s fantastic!\u201d So I went in for another casting. It was weird because usually in Australian television I\u2019ve only ever had to go in once or twice and I think I had to go in three more times because with the state of the industry, I think they were really looking for the big names and the juicy actors that are really going to shine out there. Every channel you put on there\u2019s a reality show, American television and <em>Home and Away<\/em>, which is fine, but it\u2019s not necessarily great. But I know that we finished the series and it\u2019s had pretty decent ratings. It\u2019s got a very strong cast and it\u2019s shot very beautifully. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s any newcomers, but if you do want to check it out, you can log onto the Channel Nine website, and you can actually watch full length episodes of <em>Rescue Special Ops<\/em>, if you\u2019re into it. So we\u2019ve had a very successful series and it looks like they\u2019re going again but we\u2019re still waiting for that. There always seems to be that time chunk in whatever production we do, but we find out mid-December if it\u2019s 150% go-ahead. But it definitely has been very sparse in between jobs, I have to say.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> We\u2019ve just had another medical show close about a week ago which was running for eleven years. So they pulled the plug on that one. So wait and see.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I have a feeling that thin<a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape - Wayne Pygram - Scorpius\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9818\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape - Wayne Pygram - Scorpius\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne-Pygram-02-288x384.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape - Wayne Pygram - Scorpius\" width=\"344\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne-Pygram-02-288x384.jpg 288w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne-Pygram-02.jpg 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/a>gs have improved a little bit, but as Lani and Gigi have mentioned, when we started <em>Farscape<\/em>, there were thousand-dollar differences. Today it\u2019s probably about ninety-five cents. There\u2019s two shows being made in New Zealand; <em>Legend of the Seeker<\/em> and <em>Spartacus<\/em>. I think Rowan Woods, who was one of our directors is on one of those shows. So a lot of that work that would\u2019ve come from Australia is now in New Zealand&#8230; But me, myself, I\u2019ve moved to the country. I\u2019ve got some photos here I\u2019ll pass around to you. There\u2019s a baby in the back and I keep looking at the baby. I became a dad three years ago and it\u2019s changed my life completely. I got married in January as well. Little bit of work but not much at all. I haven\u2019t exactly taken myself out of the loop, but I\u2019m living in a world where it\u2019s a bit of a hindrance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> First, I\u2019d like to say, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s nearly enough leather on that stage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> I know, we\u2019re naked up here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Why don\u2019t each one of you tell us what was your favourite scene to do in <em>Farscape<\/em>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Well, among many favourite scenes, I think one of the memories I hold very dear to me is actually walking on the set on the first day, which was produced at Fox Studios, and it was the first and last television show ever produced at Fox Studios. I think Tom Cruise came in the following year with <em>Mission Impossible 2<\/em>. But walking on this amazing set, which was elevated about eight feet off the ground and it was the Command Center of the ship that I was meant to be controlling, and I remember waiting for the camera to roll and I walked through the door into the Command Center here and I remember, \u201cStand by! Roll camera! Take one! Action!\u201d And I hadn\u2019t judged the time correctly, and I banged my head on the door that was rising. It was like, \u201cWelcome to <em>Farscape<\/em>!\u201d That was one of the first memories. It was fantastic seeing this camera on this massive crane swoop down and I think one of the lines was, \u201cFire!\u201d So that was great. There were so many memories that I have, but the other, skipping right to the end of the show was my last day on <em>Farscape<\/em>, where I was in Talyn, and that was amazing. Now there\u2019s only one time where the camera crew actually stepped forward in front the camera and that is really your last day. It hadn\u2019t really occurred to me until that time how long we\u2019d been working on the show. You know, they were family. So I remember that day very, very well. Talking to Talyn was kind of crazy. You\u2019re talking to a wall.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9820\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-Convention-02.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention\" width=\"576\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Like Lani said, there\u2019s so many awesome moments that you have. I don\u2019t know if you can narrow it down, but the make-up, the costumes, the flying spaceships, going to other worlds, seeing when the computer graphic guys would come on set and we were just acting in front of a green screen and they would show you the world that you\u2019re in. You\u2019re like, \u201cWhoa&#8230;\u201d and it all started to make sense. Just working with an amazing guest cast. We had such cool guest casts because it was the show to be on in Australia. Everyone wanted to fly a spaceship. So we had such phenomenal people who were my idols growing up and all of the sudden, you were teaching them how to work with Rygel and figuring out how to do alien talk with them and all that kind of stuff, so it was really just a magical production to be on. One of the really amazing things was that we were together for such a long time that by the end of it, everyone was just a family and that was a really beautiful thing. You felt safe and it was a really good working environment that you could allow yourself to fully endow your choices and really get down and dirty and really get the good stuff out. I think that we challenged each other. In that way, I think that\u2019s what separated <em>Farscape<\/em> from a lot of other shows that I\u2019ve worked on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> It was a family. I think it is rare to form an attachment to it, I suppose, and to feel as though your contribution is really valued. For me, it\u2019s impossible to name a scene, but one of the things&#8230;there\u2019s many aspects of <em>Farscape <\/em>that you don\u2019t normally get to work with in serial television, such as green screens. So I used to love a lot of the big set pieces, like coming down the waterfall stairs, and things like that. That particular set piece had, I think, six cameras running and we had one go. It took five hours to set up and five minutes to shoot. It was just a wonderful thing to know that so many people were investing in this one shot. And if I eff it up, it can all be sorted out. But the set pieces were lots and lots of fun because it really brought out the team contribution. It doesn\u2019t happen often that Aussie TV has provided so much for the imagination or the world you\u2019re playing in to invest in these big wonderful set pieces.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 04\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9826\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 04\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-04.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 04\" width=\"576\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-04.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-04-308x384.jpg 308w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> I actually remember that scene, Wayne, very well because we\u2019re all standing by, waiting, and they roll cameras and action was called, and you were walking towards the stairs and you took the first step, the second step, and there was so much water that was just pouring down onto the set. I remember seeing you, I think you just stood on the second step.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I did lose my grip. Lani\u2019s right, you\u2019ll see me, I messed up. I don\u2019t know if that was the time, but there was a moment of, \u201cI\u2019m going down.\u201d It didn\u2019t happen, thankfully, and I think it is in that moment that I stopped. Thankfully, I did stop. We didn\u2019t have that much money that we could do it all twice. And water is something that is a precious commodity in Australia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Gigi, congratulations from the family.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> I thought you were going to get mad at me about my shoes again.

It was very cool to introduce Jamie to you.

Each season is a different story <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9821\" title=\"2009-Wayne Pygram - Harvey\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-Wayne-Pygram-Harvey.jpg\" alt=\"2009-Wayne Pygram - Harvey\" width=\"300\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-Wayne-Pygram-Harvey.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-Wayne-Pygram-Harvey-252x384.jpg 252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>and it\u2019s about corruption, rogue coppers, gangsters, etc. So I\u2019m actually playing the police commissioner on the latest <em>Underbelly<\/em>. We only just finished it, but aside from that, I think I\u2019ve only had about four days this year. So I actually have been working. It feels good to go into work. It\u2019s not regularly, but at least I have a couple of hours of work. It\u2019s a great show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> It\u2019s a great show guys. I don\u2019t know if you know it, but Australia went nuts for this show. It\u2019s just really cool. Everybody really loved it. It was really gritty.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> We have an underbelly of crime in Australia that touches on politics and policing, etc. The first series was set in Melbourne around two crime families. It was a huge success. Then they put another one together going back to the seventies in a town called Griffith, which is about two hours from where I live now. Griffith has a huge Italian community. It\u2019s known as the town of Brass Castles. They grow a lot of pot in Griffith. It was the town in Australia where marijuana was produced. A politician by the name of Donald Mackay made a lot of noise; he was very vocal about what was happening in the town. A lot of huge mansions were being built, surrounded by barbed wire. He disappeared and that was their mistake, by knocking out a politician. Basically the whole town was turned upside-down. To this day, Griffith still has the taint of corruption. A guy, Barbaro, nabbed three years ago. He\u2019s got a commune in Griffith. Basically he\u2019s got a home with barbed wire everywhere and security and they got him in connection with the biggest ecstasy bust in Australian history. So Griffith still has this criminal family background. But the one I\u2019m in is set in Sydney. It\u2019s about drugs and prostitution and corrupt coppers who ran the cross \u2013 the cross is like the red-light district of Sydney \u2013 their connection to politicians and judges. I play a police commissioner who was totally straight, but he was very old-fashioned. I wouldn\u2019t say he allowed corruption to bloom around him, but it did bloom around him because he had his head in the sand and didn\u2019t believe that things could be as bad as they were. Already, I\u2019m not supposed to talk about these things. This show is so sensitive; they won\u2019t even courier the scripts. You go into the office and they give them to you by hand. It\u2019s a pain in the ass because it\u2019s almost five hours away. So I have to go up to Sydney for them to hand me the scripts because there\u2019s still court cases going on in relation to the characters that are mentioned. They\u2019re already planning another one already. There are many stories to be told. Even just this year the two warring families in Melbourne&#8230;the boss of one of these families shot her son-in-law. As I said, the stories are ongoing. But anyway, it\u2019s been fun to go back to work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> This is more for Gigi&#8230;What is the current state of <em>Nobody Knows<\/em>?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi &amp; Lani - 02\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9823\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi &amp; Lani - 02\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-02.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi &amp; Lani - 02\" width=\"576\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Nobody knows! <em>Nobody Knows<\/em>&#8230;When I was living in Los Angeles, I did a couple of films and I\u2019ve always had a pretty decent run in Australia at jobs, so when I got to LA, I was kind of shell-shocked. I wasn\u2019t used to not being recognized, I was just not known. I\u2019m not used to not walking into a room and having people go, \u201cOh hi Gigi! How\u2019s it going?\u201d and they give you a good try at it. I was like, \u201cOh my god, wow, I\u2019m really starting from scratch!\u201d It was a really cool adventure for me to go into. It was very humbling. So I did a couple of films and I thought, in between auditions and everything, maybe I\u2019ll have a shot at directing myself. And because the writer\u2019s strike happened and auditions were quite sparse at that time, I thought, \u201cWell this is a perfect time,\u201d because actors were out of work, writers were out of work, producers were out of work. Pretty much everything in the industry was slowing down. I gathered all these people that were in town and actors that I knew, and Dean Haglund is in it and David Franklin. Chris helped literally build half the spaceship and he was assistant director and continuity and craft services and pretty much everything. So I got a great crew of people and a cast of twenty-four and over two weekends, we made this film called <em>Nobody Knows<\/em>. It\u2019s about a girl who lives in a fantasy world pretty much, but as her day job, she works on a sci-fi. I don\u2019t know where the story came from. I thought it was a really interesting story from some of the moments I\u2019ve had in Los Angeles. I tell my parents and I tell my friends and they\u2019re like, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to make something out of this. You should write a funny book because they\u2019re just so unbelievable.\u201d But the status of <em>Nobody Knows<\/em> at the moment is actually, it\u2019s married to two comic book series I\u2019m also co-writing. So, we shot it and it\u2019s in post-production and we\u2019ve edited it, and we\u2019ve got two little two minute sequences that I was so desperate to do computer graphics with, and the guy that I co-directed it with said, \u201cNo, are you crazy?\u201d He\u2019s a beautiful French director and he said, \u201cNo, no, no Gigi! You cannot do this! Gigi, you\u2019re crazy!\u201d And I said, \u201cOh, say my name again!\u201d And he goes, \u201cIt\u2019s going to cost so much money!\u201d and all this stuff and I\u2019m like, \u201cOh, no, I\u2019ve seen it on <em>Farscape<\/em>! It just happens!\u201d Well, this film wasn\u2019t being financed by the Henson Company, it was financed by the Edgley lack-of company. So it was all coming out of my pocket. It was great, I got a sponsorship from Panavision and I got to shoot it on super-sixteen. It looks amazing. So I took it to some computer graphic guys I know in Sydney and they couldn\u2019t work with the footage. So on Monday and Tuesday I\u2019m going into the studio and we\u2019re going to actually reprocess it in high-definition, which I think is going to cost about a couple of grand! So I\u2019m selling autographs out there! You\u2019ll all be producers! But yeah, Monday and Tuesday we\u2019re putting it into high-definition and we\u2019re going to put it on hard-drives. But I would say definitely by January, February, March, you will have the finished product, so I\u2019ll post it up on my website. So if we have a Final Final Frelling Frelling Final Frelling Frelling <em>Farscape<\/em> Convention, you\u2019re guaranteed to have it there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 03\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9824\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 03\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-03.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 03\" width=\"574\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> The question is for Lani. Knowing that you\u2019re the voice of Pilot, I still can\u2019t believe it, and I keep saying, \u201cI\u2019m not going to believe it until I see it in person.\u201d Where did that voice come from and maybe if you could do it, that would be totally awesome?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> (In Pilot\u2019s voice) Commander Crichton! (In his normal voice again) I don\u2019t know where the voice came from. I had been offered the role of Captain Crais, I had auditioned for D\u2019Argo&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Wait a minute. Oh, what could\u2019ve been&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> (In a sexy, suggestive tone) I know. (Back to his normal voice again) As soon as Anthony had gotten the role, I thought, \u201cWell at least I\u2019m not going to be the one who\u2019s waking up at three o\u2019clock or four o\u2019clock in the morning. He did a fantastic job and there is only one D\u2019Argo. But I was offered Crais and I really didn\u2019t know his journey until I looked at what\u2019s called the bible \u2013 a huge book of notes on each character. Then somebody asked me to go and audition for Pilot. When I went in, I had a couple of ideas in the back of my head, but as I was auditioning, it fell into a higher register, because I knew that I wanted Crais to be way down on a lower register. This name popped into my head, and it was John Hurt, a British actor, and somehow, as I was doing the audition, it just kept moving up towards that area and it stayed that way. I had no idea until I\u2019d finished the audition. Then after that, my agent called me and said, \u201cYou have the role of Pilot as well.\u201d Which was wonderful. There are very few actors who are given not one role, but two roles in any show at any one time. It\u2019s fantastic. It\u2019s a blessing. So, I had fun with both roles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Gigi, my question for you is, Crichton refers to you as Pip&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Oh is this coming up? Because it always comes up and I still haven\u2019t figured it out myself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Well, I know Marcel Marceau, his persona on stage was Pip, so I was wondering if that was it or, I know also in gambling parties the little marks on the dice are called pips. I was just wondering, with the grey and dark eyes, if that was how it developed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> I think we\u2019ve got to figure out what time Ben\u2019s on the stage tomorrow. I think we need to seriously, once and for all, get down to the bottom of this! It\u2019s quite odd because my nickname as a kid was Pip, but nobody knows that, so I don\u2019t know if I taste fruity or what&#8230; I don\u2019t know where it came from and where it went, but if you ask him, when he tells you the answer, please let me know.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Lani, if you can possibly recall, when Crais first goes on Talyn and Aeryn goes on Talyn with you, there seems to be some dialogue that we practically put our ear up to the television to get. What is he saying? I\u2019m just wondering if it was a bit of Peacekeeper dialogue that he had with Aeryn that we were just not made privy to.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> I can\u2019t answer that because I would actually have to see the scene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> You guys are going to go, \u201cThis is the worst panel ever!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> If someone can bring it up today or tomorrow, I\u2019ll have a look at it because I can\u2019t remember what I said ten years ago. Yes, I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t answer that for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> No comment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 05\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9829\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 05\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-05.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 05\" width=\"576\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-05.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-05-514x384.jpg 514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Just ask Browder. Browder has all the answers!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> In the scene where Crichton, Crais and all the rest of them are destroying the command carrier and you both have the bracelets on, you take a dagger and plunge it into your arm to break the bond with him, he\u2019s suffering from the pain but Scorpius is not. Is the justification somewhere that he severed some kind of nerve within himself that made him immune to pain? What actually happened?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Good question.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> Think of the realm of voodoo dolls. Scorpy is the doll. A lot of those moments, we don\u2019t get a chance to think about them too much. You do it and often we really leave it up to the imagination of the audience so they can figure out why and how. But I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve answered the question.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> It\u2019s the same kind of line of thinking where no one really knows how those coms really worked. Some people would talk up here, and some people would tap them, and some people would double-tap them, and some people would twirl them and everyone had a different way of going about it. And sometimes, no one used them at all! So I know that question came up in one of my first <em>Farscape<\/em> conventions. \u201cHow do those coms really work?\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cYou tell me! And everybody else in the cast!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> This is actually for all three of you. Each of you brought in sexual techniques that were used for vastly different things. How much of that was you and how much was written?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> It was always there. You know, it\u2019s crazy because we were blessed with wonderful writing. When an actor gets a great script, all they have to do is just say the lines, invest what you can with it and bring to it something of yourself and however you chose to play it. We\u2019re so lucky that the writers actually saw what we did and wrote more. All the underlying stuff that was there, I\u2019m sure, each one of us brought our own stuff to it and they liked it and continued to do that.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> No comment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I never thought of it in a sexuality terms. I would be swinging around in black leather and high heels&#8230; You know, we did have those scenes with Natira, but I\u2019ve always thought of him as being sort of asexual. He\u2019s not someone who has those sort of bonding relationships. He will use his sexuality as a tool but he wouldn\u2019t be frustrated in any way, but I saw him as someone who actually didn\u2019t have sexuality. But, the image of him obviously lends itself to personal notions. Which is wonderful. You can\u2019t help but feel a bit turned on.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> And then they add the handcuffs and electric collars and you go from there.

Can you say a little bit about how you differentiated them; how you made them into separate characters, even just through the performance because I don\u2019t think the dialogue didn\u2019t make them as differentiated as I think they appear on the screen?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> My voice, in very simple terms. I was just trying to have as much fun as possible, indulge myself as much as possible in a flamboyant way and I indulged myself in a contained way in the Scorpius realm. I\u2019d get out there and make it as crazy as possible. Harvey was very over the top and ostentatious and then Scorpy was more contained.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> Which one was more fun to play?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> Neither was more fun but I used to love doing the Harvey stuff because there wasn\u2019t one Harvey, there were many different Harveys. So it was always a lovely experience to go into work and play Harvey. And I did get to wear all the gear as well, which was fantastic.\u00a0 So it was fun because it really just lent itself to it. It was fresh, whenever they\u2019d come up with a new Harvey persona or whatever it happened to be. I\u2019m not someone who\u2019s normally thought of as being a comedic actor, so I got the opportunity to play some comedy as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>Q:<\/strong> This is for all three of you. I know that you\u2019ve done scenes together, but as couples, were there any memorable scenes that have stuck with you as well? Like Wayne and Gigi, Gigi and Lani or Lani and Wayne?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> I remember a scene with Wayne and I think David Franklin was in the scene as well, where his phone went off. Not once, not twice&#8230;Remember? David Franklin\u2019s phone? Three times. Wayne and I had some great dramatic scenes together and it was wonderful and we were working so fast and we really didn\u2019t have too much time to think, which is probably a very good thing. As an actor, you just go, \u201cRight, here you go. Standby, we just need to walk through for camera.\u201d And then that was that. To me, it was just like jazz. We all knew what we had to do. We all had fun trying to learn our scripts. The cameras would roll&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> For me, I got to work with everyone in scenes, but obviously my relationship with Crichton screen time-wise was the biggest part of my contribution. Most of my days with Mr. Browder were always fun. It was always very satisfying and those were my most memorable days, I suppose. That was the person I worked with the most. We generally had a really great time, except for the day I made him bleed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> What happened?!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani - 06\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9830\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani - 06\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-06.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani - 06\" width=\"576\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-06.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-06-502x384.jpg 502w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> Aussies are known for a bit of roughhousing in general, but when it comes to the acting department, technique-wise we\u2019re a bit untrained.

My fingers were painted white, so you could see these little paw prints all over the set where I\u2019d been. When we did that big scene where Ben lifted me up&#8230;this is like my second scene with Ben and he picked me up by the crotch and by the bosom and lifted me over his head and I was like, \u201cOh, nice to meet you too!\u201d And as we did that, my little fingers went on his shoulders and at the end of the scene he was like, \u201cCostume!\u201d So, not long after that, I was awarded a nice little pair of gloves. We always had bits and passes and I\u2019m trying to think&#8230; I remember a scene that wasn\u2019t in front of the camera with Lani. But you probably don\u2019t want to know about that one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Next question&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">(Audience yells \u201cTell!\u201d)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I\u2019ve had two other experiences at work. One of them was one of my first TV jobs, we were playing some SSS military goons (inaudible). Many years later, I had the good fortune of working with Heath Ledger and he opened me up \u2013 got me good across the top of the nose. So Aussies, we lack technique. We just like hurting people, I suppose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Like a therapy session when we go to work. The moment that I&#8230;it\u2019s not nearly as naughty as it sounds. We could endow it a bit. I was sharing your room because I was a guest cast member when I came on and Lani had a scene for the day. You came in later in the day and I was finished for the day. I was in a not-too-becoming position pulling off my bodysuit and Lani walked right in! And he went, \u201cOh! I thought this was my room!\u201d And I went, \u201cOh! I thought this was my room! Hi! I\u2019m Gigi!\u201d And that was pretty much our first moment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Never to be repeated, unfortunately.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> And one time I had a scene with you, it was down in the tunnels. It was with the chain, that horrible chain! And I looked at Wayne and he was just bringing up the goods \u2013 all sorts of stuff coming out of your mouth and I\u2019m like, \u201cMan, this guy rocks!\u201d And I was handcuffed and he was drooling. It was with Grayza, Crichton, Bracca and you and it was that skurnak (phonetic) episode \u2013 was it skurnak? (Audience replies \u201cArnesk\u201d) Exactly! That\u2019s what I was saying! It was the accent. You misread me. So I remember that was kind of cool. In that episode we got to shoot in this old military base where they had all the tunnels underground. That was spooky within itself because there was just this energy about that whole area that you know hardcore stuff had happened in there. There was just that gloomy feeling and then we go in there with aliens and creatures and critters and make-up artists and people smoking cigarettes and pyrotechnics and bombs. I remember they had to do an explosion and they were like, \u201cOkay, there\u2019s going to be a little bang,\u201d and then they did it and we actually had to dub out in ADR my swear words because I was like, \u201cHoly f&#8212;!\u201d They were like, \u201cCan you go \u2018frell\u2019?\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cBabe, that so doesn\u2019t look like \u2018frell\u2019!\u201d Frell!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 07\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9833\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 07\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-07.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape-Wayne, Gigi and Lani - 07\" width=\"574\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-07.jpg 574w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-WayneGigiLani-07-540x384.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I still have a pair of Scorpy\u2019s teeth and the other day I was up in Sydney and I hold the baby up to the photo of Scorpy on the wall and go, \u201cLook at Daddy, look at Daddy!\u201d And I thought, \u201cI\u2019ll put in the teeth and see what he does.\u201d So I put the teeth in and he just goes, \u201cUh, Daddy clean!

It was Scorpy chained to Big Daddy Scarran and the scale of it was me at two inches and Big Daddy (gestured with hands). It never went anywhere obviously, but that was an interesting idea. (inaudible) I never really had much playing with them \u2013 a little bit in the <em>Peacekeeper Wars<\/em> and that was about it. So that was certainly something that could have been explored. Scorpius\u2019 rise from the Scarrans, his connection to the Scarrans. Scarran is just a frightening image. They presented this image and came up with a bunch of ideas but nothing ever happened.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> It would\u2019ve been great to have different scenes with Crichton where they weren\u2019t always adversaries. I think within the relationship that occurred, it was actually perfect the way that it was. But it would\u2019ve been fun. I mean, it would\u2019ve been fun to join forces with Scorpius and explore all of that.

I was a baby. I\u2019d done two other jobs before that, so I had no idea how to find a camera, how to hit a mark, how to be in the light, how to not talk over other people\u2019s lines when it was their close-up. I had no technical training. I was method, hardcore method actor. \u201cHey, I\u2019m an alien, I\u2019m a creature. I\u2019ve got my horoscope and I\u2019m going to do some crazy crap now.\u201d I didn\u2019t know that you have to bring your head up, that people need to hear you, that you need to chill out on other people\u2019s close-ups. I had no idea, so <em>Farscape<\/em> was my primary school, my preschool, my middle school, my high school and my masters and my doctorate. It was such a cool place and everyone was so giving and so willing to let you know when you stepped over the line and help you with the proper way to do it. I didn\u2019t realize I was that brave. That Chi character, she\u2019s insane! So when I would get nervous on <em>Rescue<\/em> or on other shows, I go, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. You\u2019ve pretty much been there and done that with everything and anything, so you\u2019re going to be okay.\u201d <em>Farscape<\/em> was such a big blessing for me. So yeah, pretty much everything.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> Most often it reinforced the things I knew. As I was saying, working with the set pieces or in harnesses or whatever. Lots of things I didn\u2019t get to do elsewhere being an actor in Australia. (inaudible) I\u2019ve had to fight against the man at the top, you know, when I was going back for screen-testing finding something to make it more naturalistic but at times I\u2019d be conscious of the fact that I did it for so long and it was so pleasurable. I did find it sort of difficult to get away from (inaudible) without losing the naturalistics of the performance. It\u2019s no big deal at all. It was something I was conscious of for a little while afterwards. To apply myself, I would do things like ignore punctuation and I would do rhythmic things and I\u2019ve found I\u2019m still doing the same things that are attached to Scorpius, but that weren\u2019t necessarily as useful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> I think the thing was about precision. I always loved being able to actually take any script that I have and to the comma and to the full stop be absolutely precise and efficient with it. I was in a play recently for a three week run called <em>References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot<\/em> and I played the moon, and the moon was Mexican. This is by Jules (sic) Rivera who wrote <em>The Motorcycle Diaries<\/em>, so it was a wonderful play. There was a young actor in there who, on a number of nights, added dialogue. I would be on stage just watching as the character, and I thought there\u2019s a great discipline to it. That\u2019s one of the things I loved about <em>Farscape<\/em>, there\u2019s a great discipline to it about being very specific. Nothing was lost. If you actually just treated the dialogue exactly the way it was, everything would be there on screen. I carry that with me to every job that I do \u2013 being disciplined about the dialogue. I mean, you can\u2019t improvise Shakespeare. You can\u2019t go \u201ctomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and maybe tomorrow and tomorrow and&#8230;\u201d so it keeps on creeping on. You can\u2019t do that! It\u2019s so precise and because of that, it\u2019s wonderful as an actor just doing exactly what\u2019s been written and no more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> As for me, as an actor I\u2019ve always tried to honor the writers\u2019 role. They\u2019ve got a job to do and I give respect to their words. Obviously, a lot of the time we re-arrange things, nip and tuck, but pretty much, as Lani says, we\u2019re doing it exactly as it is on the page. I think that\u2019s an actor\u2019s job: to honor the writer. He\u2019s given you words. It\u2019s a funny thing, at home I\u2019ve worked at jobs and I come from a theatre background and the thing I learned about improvisation, don\u2019t do it unless that\u2019s the character and it\u2019s consistent with the production you\u2019re doing. But I\u2019ve heard actors say when they look at the script, \u201cOh, my character wouldn\u2019t say that.\u201d I would say to them, \u201cWell, your character does on my page, my friend!\u201d A writer is a writer, an actor is an actor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>G:<\/strong> Oh, we\u2019re being kicked off. But we don\u2019t want to go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>L:<\/strong> Before we go, who wants to sing?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention Sings!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.creationent.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9838\" title=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention Sings!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009-LA-Farscape-Convention-03.jpg\" alt=\"2009-LA-Farscape Convention Sings!\" width=\"576\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><strong>W:<\/strong> I was going to do, like I said, iconic Australian folk songs.
