<Ben> Happy Birthday SACC

<Ben> thanks Oboe

<Moderator> So, anything on your mind today or should we just let loose with the questions?

<Ben> Let's get started

<Moderator> <Jedi-Aeryn> to <Moderator>: In the Episode "Out of Their Minds", you got to act the roles of Aeryn and Rigel as well as your usual. What was that like and did you enjoy it?

<Ben> That episode was tremendous fun and very scary for the whole cast

<Ben> what was fascinating was collorborating with the others on how to play them

<Ben> we would turn to each other and say...

<Ben> what would yould you do here?

<Ben> how would you stand?

<Ben> any improv ideas?

<Ben> fascinating.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> modertor to enthusiastic audience: slow down!

<Moderator> we resume...

<Moderator> <Gmmas> to <Moderator>: Ben: can you tell us how you decided on the accent you used for the most evolved Crichton in My Three Crichtons?

<Ben> Good question!

* Bouncer Bouncer casts baleful glances on abject crowd

<Ben> one... I was worried about the conversations between JC and Futuro sounding too alike.

<Ben> and two... can anyone say BILL CLINTON

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Trilliumgrl> to <Moderator>: Ben- any thoughts on your costars getting the "Sexy Women of SciFi" TV Guide covers?

<Ben> Fantastic.

<Ben> I want copies!

<Moderator> For those who haven't seen 'em, check out Gigi, Virginia and Claudia on covers of this week's TV Guide, or visit www.tvguide.com.

<Ben> It is soooo nice to see Farscape in the mainstream press

<Ben> and if I was gonna buy a TV guide for "sexy"

<Ben> those girls are the GO.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Epona> to <Moderator>: Greetings from Nashville! Tell me, how many takes did you and Anthony need to do that "seduction" scene in OOTM before you could do it with straight faces? And how much would you charge for the outtake reel from that scene?

<Ben> I have burned all out takes

<Ben> I was pissing myself all through the rehearsals

<Ben> But for the sake of NOT having to put ourselves through TOO many takes... Anth and I held it together for the shooting

<Ben> Ian Watson however seemed to need a LOT of coverage.

<Ben> But maybe even ONE take seemed like a lot for me.

<Ben> And Anth just kept on wanting to do it AGAIN.

<Ben> ... sorry Anth

<Ben> GA

<Moderator> <Psyrix> to <Moderator>: Are you looking forward to the Farscape convention August 5th?

<Ben> Fear

* Ben trembles at the thought

<Ben> Actually.. i'm chompin at the bit to see what the whole thing is about.

<Ben> And I look forward to hearing face to face what viewers think and feel about the show.

<Ben> Bring on AUGUST.

<Ben> ga

* Bouncer yearns to crush flooders

<Moderator> <Maugwai> to <Moderator>: As an NC native, I have to ask: Are those "Southern metaphors" yours or does someone else write them? Because they're priceless.

<Ben> I get my "southern Metaphors" from my DAD.

<Ben> counrty boys have all the really good ones.

<Ben> I can only assume the writers are in contact with my Dad or they are channeling my Grandfather.

<Ben> Country boys... bad spellier

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Tahji> to <Moderator>: A makeup question for you Ben! ;) What was it like to put all that makeup on for MTC? Did Gigi, Anth, and Virginia give you any pointers?

<Ben> Sit still and shit up!

<Ben> very hard advice for me to follow

<Moderator> "shut up," right?

<Moderator> (we'll edit that one in post)

* Ben walks away from the keyboard

<Ben> that's aussie slang

<Ben> I'm getting sooo foul mouthed

<Ben> sorry MOM

<Ben> serious wrap on the knuckles for me when I get to Carolina

<Ben> The wearing of Prosthetics is a liberating experience

<Ben> in fact I haven't stopped cussing since

<Ben> most of Neandro had to be edited out for obscenities

<Ben> I loved having the freedom to crawl around on the floor with Chiana

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Scapegrace> to <Moderator>: Hi, Ben. Do you find yourself using Farscape swear-words in the rest of your life? (I know some fans who do.)

<Ben> I've slipped... I admit it

<Ben> Yotz is just so frelling useful

<Ben> dren.. it happens all the time.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Solanio> to <Moderator>: Tee - Any plans to travel to Europe to support the fans in the U.K and such?

<Ben> I hope to get to The UK next year.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <ThatsMeDRD> to <Moderator>: Have you seen the new toys for the show?

<Ben> Not yet.

<Ben> Gotta get one!

<Ben> or two!

<Ben> Blows my mind that they even exist.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <PhantomComputer> to <Moderator>: Welcome, Mr. Browder... In Look At the Princess, part 1, was that your little boy in a cameo as the holo-child? If not, it was very convincing. Did you draw on your experience as a father for inspiration in that scene?

<Ben> My kids are off topic. no offense I hope.

<Ben> But I vividly remember holding my children and seeing my children for the first time

<Ben> It is an Awe inspiring event.

<Ben> words fail me.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> No offense. But a large number of viewers were so moved by that scene that they wondered if the young actor had a personal connection to you.

<Ben> Well... he was very cute.

<Ben> and Funny

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <AutumnH> to <Moderator>: Hiya Ben, have you seen all of the Farscape trading cards (other than the ones you signed) yet, and what do you think of being traded like the big leaguers?

<Ben> I have a Claudia Black signed card... ant takers.

<Ben> I've only seen a few of the cards.

<Ben> You guys know and have sooo much more FARSCAPE than I do.

<Ben> cept I have the Calvins that Aeryn wore in RIB. hehehehhe

<Ben> now we are talkin MONEY!

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <WarriorWoman> to <Moderator>: So was it fun kissing all of those women in "Look at the Princess" and what did your wife think about that?

<Ben> Ich heise john Crichton!

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <MarylandJKoba> to <Moderator>: As the singular Yankee on the cast, I can ask you ... what on Erf is the Aussies' problem, cancelling Farscape?

<Ben> YANKEE!!!!!

<Moderator> (looks like the South is rising as we speak...)

<Ben> would you like to rephrase that question?

<Ben> I will wait.

<Ben> I'm waiting

<Moderator> <MarylandJKoba> to <Moderator>: Sorry, Ben!

* Ben hums DIXIE

<Moderator> MJK, you better come up with a rephrase...

<Moderator> (no pressure or anything)

<Moderator> <MarylandJKoba> to <Moderator>: As the fine Southern gentleman, I can ask you ... what on Erf is the Ozzies' problem, cancelling Farscape?

<Ben> Alright... AS a gentleman I can't really comment

<Ben> But WHAT is UP WITH THAT?

<Ben> they say we will be back on later.

<Ben> In the meantime I will be shining my conferate musket and be preparing to TAKE Nine.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <FarDareisMai> to <Moderator>: Ben: we just heard John say something about his sisters, will we learn more about him and his past, or any of the other character's pasts?

<Ben> Of course we will

<Ben> but the when, where, and what of those things I am contractually unable to comment on.

<Ben> Frelling sucks... no?

<Moderator> I'm not.

<Moderator> Should I hint?

<Ben> gotta do something about my mouth.

<Ben> sorry

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> when I say we truly appreciate your "buff" physical condition. What do you do to stay soooo fit?

<Moderator> ooops

<Moderator> take 2:

<Moderator> <Melinda-B> to <Moderator>: I believe I can speak for all female Farscape fans when I say we truly appreciate your "buff" physical condition. What do you do to stay soooo fit?

<Ben> oh my

<Ben> I have to admit.

<Ben> I do not work out.

<Ben> I hate GYMS.

<Ben> there goes my BALLY'S endorsment.

<Ben> Surfing

<Ben> not the web... the OCEAN.

<Ben> That's my get fit regime... and I highly reccomend it.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Rhi-Aeryn> to <Moderator>: Hey Ben. I just have to know...How do you like the leather PK pants. I sure do!

<Ben> Well...

<Ben> they're hot.

<Ben> literally.

<Ben> They look fine I guess... but I do feel a bit of a pranny walking around in Black leather in the height of summer.

<Ben> CB looks better.. IMHO.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> more wardrobe questions:

<Moderator> <Enigmatic-Scully> to <Moderator>: Hey Ben, this is something thats been bugging me, your new boots, what brand are they? Are they Dr.Martens? They sure look like em!

<Ben> They are standard ten-hole PK issue.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <DJWolfe> to <Moderator>: Hi, Ben. You can be on my radio show any time. In the first segment of "Look at the Princess", when you walked in on Chiana and D'Argo the second time, it didn't look like Gigi was wearing anything resembling a top. Was this reality or television magic?

<Ben> It was MAGIC... if you know what I mean.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Boo-Bru> to <Moderator>: OK, greetings from the UK! Are there any scenes that made you crack up so you had to stop shooting?

<Ben> You mean laughing or a nervous breakdown?

<Ben> Both.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Tenebrae> to <Moderator>: Ben, you like the big arc eps or the single shot ones?

<Ben> I admit a fondness for the ARCS in general.

<Ben> however at the end of the day... many of my favorite eps are essentially NON arc eps

<Ben> TWWW.

<Ben> Human reaction

<Ben> ect.

<Ben> Ga

<Moderator> <Scapegrace> to <Moderator>: Hi, Ben. Having spent about two years in Australia, do you still feel like an "alien" there, or have you adapted?

<Ben> I'm surrounded by aliens.. It leaves me feeling remarkably "normal".

<Ben> but I do love it here.

<Ben> GA

<Moderator> <Bubonic-Plague-Rat> to <Moderator>: Will there be a Farscape video game?

<Ben> I hear one is in the works.

<Ben> GA

<Moderator> I've got lots more questions...but anything special on your mind?

<Moderator> Anything you want to ask THEM?

<Ben> Lemme think... I'll get back to you.

<Ben> this is their time.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <BladeRunner> to <Moderator>: Do you have any other projects your working on besides Farscape?

<Ben> Surf board repair.

<Ben> got some major dings from a reef break.

<Ben> Not projects at the moment... I'll sound out some stuff when I'm in LA.

<Ben> If anyone is interested.

<Ben> I do a great POWER RANGER for kids parties.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <myllenium> to <Moderator>: with the abundance of the gorgeous natures of Oz, will there be any eps highlighting some of those wide open places?

* Bouncer uses Ayres rock for a pillow

<Ben> Roos on skateboards

<Ben> watch for it in the big season finale.

<Ben> We did less location in season two.

<Ben> But built sets bigger than all of Australia.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <WangoTheToeHugger> to <Moderator>: With the given that all the Farsape directors are wise and wonderful beings and nothing you say will harm you; would you mind telling us how they differ in directorial style?

<Ben> wow.

<Ben> good question.

<Ben> First I love them all

<Ben> Tony, Ian, Rowan, and Prowsie

<Ben> Since Farscape does not have a "house-style" per say they are all able to be their "OWN" kind of director.

<Ben> Tony is an instinctual visualist who changes the look of Farscape every second ep.

<Ben> witness ep 7 PKtech girl season one.

<Ben> Ian is a master at working WITH actors OOTM... CDM...

<Ben> Rowan is an autuer with a "lost in Space" education.

<Ben> Andrew is the glue that holds us all together and has the show in his head... second only to David Kemper.

<Ben> Sorry to take so long.

<Ben> But these guys are the BEST I have ever worked with and I LOVE them

<Ben> they do not receive nearly enough kudos.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Fixer> to <Moderator>: Are you or any of the cast going to try your hand at directing an episode?

<Ben> not that I'm aware of... and you would be displacing directors who are vastly talented and experienced.

<Ben> Would be fun to try, though.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <FrooniumRicky> to <Moderator>: Hmmm... has anyone asked him who his favorite Farscape writer is?

<Ben> piss off

* Ben will not be back for season three.

<Moderator> <FrooniumRicky> to <Moderator>: Hey, it Worked!

<Ben> why aren't you writing Froonie!

<Moderator> (for those playing at home, FR is writer/exec producer Richard Manning)

<Moderator> <FrooniumRicky> to <Moderator>: I'm Always writing.

<Ben> ok... I love Justin Monjo

<Moderator> <FrooniumRicky> to <Moderator>: Hail Monj!

<Ben> no... uh DAvid Kemper... he's the boss.

<Ben> ok

<Ben> ok

<Ben> I love Ricky Manning Best.

<Ben> there.

<Ben> next question!!!!

<Moderator> <Kieriahn> to <Moderator>: So Ben...are we going to get to see you "win a fight with a chick" this season? <g>

<Ben> lemme think.

<Ben> YES!

<Ben> YES!

<Ben> you'll love it when you see it.

<Ben> it's soooo choice.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <stargatetravler1> to <Moderator>: Do any of your fellow cast members give you a hard time about the SACC that was started by OboeCrazy to protect your Character John? How about the writers, directors, or crew?

<Ben> I think they veiw the SACC as a natural enemy.

<Ben> I love the SACC.

<Ben> somebody needs to stand up for the poor and downtrodden of the UCT.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <WhirlGirl> to <Moderator>: Hey, Ben! Great to chat with you tonight. Tell us: who's been your favorite alien in the last two seasons?

<Ben> trick question.

<Ben> M'Lee

<Ben> and RoNAH

<Ben> they're the best.

<Ben> But... if she's doesn't read this... My fav alien is....

<Ben> Aeryn Sun.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Dalequan> to <Moderator>: Mr. Browder as a southern person myself and moving around alot with the military I know how hard it is to find "food" that I have grown up with. I know you are aching over there or do care packages from home make your day?

<Ben> Aussies stop all food at the border.

<Ben> facists

<Ben> I've been reduced to making my bisquits with butter.

<Ben> not the same.

<Ben> but does help keep the weight off.

<Ben> fried chicken being almost inedible in Australia.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> How's craft services on the set?

<Ben> it's different here.

<Ben> tea and biccies

<Ben> coffee and biccies

<Ben> water and biccies

<Ben> I have diet soda imported.

<Ben> they veiw my as a strange beast indeed.

<Ben> DAMN

<Ben> M

<Ben> E

<Ben> me

<Ben> the caterers... ROCK.

<Ben> and here in Oz they have afternoon tea.

<Ben> very quaint tradition of stopping work for 15 minutes so everyone can get some air and grab a bite to eat.

<Ben> civilized like.

<Ben> cool ... huh?

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Elnea> to <Moderator>: Ben, you have a nice singing voice! Will we be hearing you or any of the rest of the cast singing more this season?

<Ben> I will mangle at least one more song before the end

<Ben> when you see it you will know what I mean by MANGLE!!!

<Ben> was U-R talking to me?

<Ben> oh well

<Ben> I've been called worse.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <TheMasterfulOne> to <Moderator>: Hello Ben, YOU ROCK, that said I was watching Farscape once before I got my hair cut and did the John Chrichton hair style, which BTW I love which brings me to my question Do you like Chrichtons Hair (assuming yours is diffrent)

<Moderator> (this has been the Season of the Gel, no?)

<Ben> you mean am I bald?

<Ben> Sheldon does my hair.

<Ben> send all letters and calls to him.

<Ben> I just wear it.

<Ben> thanks.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <AngelzGurl> to <Moderator>: Ben: Have there been anny instances where you've taken a look at the script and thought, "How am I gonna do THAT?"

<Ben> all the time.

<Ben> True.

<Ben> David Kemper is an insane genious.

<Ben> love that man.

<Ben> He gives us stuff to do that is a gift.

<Ben> very seldom in the course of a career will the challenges and opportunites he puts before us come.

<Ben> I am thankful and daunted doing FARSCAPE.

<Ben> thankyou David

<Ben> Justin

<Ben> oh...

<Ben> and Ricky

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <amul> to <Moderator>: When you first started working on Farscape, did you have any idea people would become so vehement about you and Aeryn hooking up?

<Ben> no

<Ben> but i was clouded my me wanting J and A to hook up.

<Ben> does that make sense?

<Ben> I want to see them GET IT ON>

<Moderator> Well, sure.

<Ben> damn

<Ben> .

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <MegL> to <Moderator>: Ben: what sort of music would you take with you, if you were stuck out in space like Crichton is? Do you think it would be the same type of music Crichton would have brought with him, had he known he was going to get stranded like he did?

<Ben> talk about packing for a trip!

<Ben> after the spare underwear....

<Ben> Motzart.

<Ben> never get tired of that.

<Ben> for a quick trip...

<Ben> some memphis soul.

<Ben> have no idea what john would pack.

<Ben> we should have a contest. pick John's music/

<Ben> .

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <red> to <Moderator>: Ben: Do you make a habit of watching the eps? And if so, are you entertained by them or do you find yourself critiqueing them?

<Ben> I do watch every ep

<Ben> and every cut of the eps

<Ben> it's a learning experience.

<Ben> but sometimes... SOMETIMES... I get swept up.

<Ben> i love it when that happens.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <AngelzGurl> to <Moderator>: Ben: So far, what has been the funnest ep to do and why?

<Ben> OOTM

<Ben> Out of their minds.

<Ben> watching the others do the others was a cack.

<Ben> And the puppeteers affecting a southern accent was more than worth the price of admission.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <TheMasterfulOne> to <Moderator>: Hi Ben, Now that we have had two main Arch Evils (Crais and Scorpy) which do you like (or hate) more?

<Ben> I hate all villians equally.

<Ben> I love the difference between them.

<Ben> crais... passionate and vulnerable.

<Ben> Scorpie... impervious and evil.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <AutumnH> to <Moderator>: Is there a scene that has been cut that you really wish had made it into an episode?

<Ben> many...

<Ben> picking one...

<Ben> the morning after scene.

<Ben> and the inbetween scene we NEVER shot.

<Ben> by I reheasred it in my mind.

<Ben> it was a CORKER>

<Ben> !

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> Just curious...we're going long here (as usual)...how you doing there? Still goood to go, or getting tired?

<Ben> I have 15 more minutes... then I have to go to a school play!

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> hehehe...okay. let's go. :)

<Moderator> <Elnea> to <Moderator>: Hi Ben! In many of the eps, the cameras are at angles so that you all seem to be different heights from ep to ep..like sometimes Gigi is eye-to-eye with Anthony and other times ....not. Are you standing on boxes/in trenches during different scenes?

<Ben> No...

<Ben> we don't use boxes.. or trenches.

<Ben> I wish we did.

<Ben> I stand 6' 1" and often look to be 5' 6"

<Ben> it wouldn't be a problem cept I'm the runt of my family.

<Ben> And they often point that out.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <OfficerAerynSun> to <Moderator>: Okay, I feel sorry for the ModMan right here but I have to ask this. Do you plan on doing movies over the 'hiatus'? And I hope to dear God that you do, because I don't know what I would do without seeing you on the big screen at least *once*!

<Ben> I don't have any offers.

<Ben> somebody has GOT to do something about this.

<Ben> here I am WASTING away.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <nh> to <Moderator>: Ben, your hair has been mondo bizzaro this season. Do you wash out the moose or comb it non wild before leaving for home?

<Ben> That hair was caused by a rather unusual electostatic charge being emited from a froonium fueled camera.

<Ben> we have since gone back to a hand cranked model,

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <valleyofstags> to <Moderator>: Hey Ben. If there was one thing about John you could change, what would it be?

<Ben> my hair

<Ben> uh

<Ben> he would be taller

<Ben> uh

<Ben> he would get LUCKY.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <RhayleRihannsu> to <Moderator>: Thanks 4 chatting with us. I know you don 't have do this sort of thing. Did you know the length of the character developement when you were orginally cast as JC? Is the story planned out that far in advance and were you informed ? ?

<Ben> I know NOTHING.

<Ben> I am Schultz.

<Ben> I know nosing

<Moderator> :)

<Ben> The character delopement seems part plan and part disaster.

<Ben> the disaster being the part i usually add.

<Ben> exept the mousse... I don't do hair products.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Jedi-Aeryn> to <Moderator>: in OOTM, do you feel that Claudia Black did an accurate interpretation of John?

<Ben> She definines John.

<Ben> I have taken to playing him the way she does.

<Ben> Now if I could just play Aeryn.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Tahji> to <Moderator>: Hey Ben, what scene took the longest to shoot? Such as doing and redoing, etc... ;)

<Ben> the one i rehearsed in my mind... over and over again.

<Ben> the longest we have spent on a single sequence is two days.

<Ben> mainly for technical reasons.

<Ben> number of takes...

<Ben> that probably maxed out at about 15.. when I couldn't remember the technical name for Froonium counter magno kenetic drive.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <Persa-Alexei> to <Moderator>: HI ben! So, since you and Claudia are the only ones not in makeup/prosthetics, do you think this makes it harder or easier for you to act?

<Ben> harder to hide when you don't know how to act.

<Ben> But a lot easier on the skin.

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <truthseekr> to <Moderator>: Ben, we've asked Virginia what Unity is like--but from a "Guy's perspective" what can you tell us? <G>

<Ben> ga

<Moderator> <CeRell> to <Moderator>: Do the writers accept any imput from the actors? Storylines? Character growth sort of thing?

<Ben> They say the writers doors are always open.

<Ben> That's cause they are never in there.

<Ben> I try not to meddle with the writers too much.

<Ben> That way i can always blame them if things go bad.

<Ben> "It wasn't My Idea!!!!"

<Ben> They have been known to take suggestions.

<Ben> If you ply them with drink and flowers first.
