Interviewer: So tell me a little bit about your character. It seems like he’s sortof really different from anyone you’ve played before.
Gale: Uhh. People that cast… borderline… fatal spells… they’re different… right? They act normal. (stares at interviewer) … you feel weird right now?
Interviewer: A little uncomfortable!
Gale: So, that’s what I’m saying.
Interviewer: Um, you don’t seem like you’re old enough to be playing anybody’s dad. Are you kind of weirded out by being the grown-up on the show?
Gale: I have seven thousand children.
Interviewer: Really?
Gale: Yes.
Interviewer: All over the world, or just here in Vancouver? How busy were you?
Gale: We’re not in Vancouver right now… this is New York City.
But yes. To all of those questions.
Interviewer: Um… tell me a little about your character, I know that he has his own sort of history with his own coven. What are we gonna see – are there a lot of secret that are going to come out, what’s his role here?
Gale: What do you mean by secrets?
Interviewer: You’re making this really hard on me.
Gale: Yeah. That’s my job! There’s going to be a lot of secrets… and… there’s gonna be some gang wars.
Interviewer: Ooh. We like that.
Gale: (looking around) Is someone trying to steal my wat-ah?
Interviewer: Um. So I hear that your character, I know he’s a witch -
Gale: Everything you’re saying sounds like a rumour… ‘I hear this… I hear that…’
Interviewer: Well I wasn’t on set, so…
Gale: Alright, go ahead. Alright.
Interviewer: So he’s a witch. Tell me about working with all of the supernatural stuff. Have you ever done that before, like have you ever played a supernatural character?
Gale: Ummmm. Yeah.
Interviewer: Is it fun? I mean, is that something that appeals to you a lot?
Gale: It’s really really painful… But you get over it.
Interviewer: Um. What have you been up to inbetween- I know you guys wrapped Hellcats a while ago, did
you just shoot this pilot or have you been working on other stuff in the middle?
Gale: I built my own rocketship.
Interviewer: Really? So did I! We should do that together.
Gale: Really! Where are you going?
Interviewer: Mars, y’know, see what’s next.
Gale: Really? That’s boring.
Interviewer: Where are you off to?
Gale: Jupiter.
Interviewer: Oh. Yeah. Um I’m taking baby steps, what can I say?
Gale: That’s cool. You know, the Russians used to put mannekins in their rockets so the dogs wouldn’t freak out thinking there were no people in there with them.
Interviewer: Is this a conspiracy theory?
Gale: Nope.
Interviewer: All facts?
Gale: Look it up. Soviet space developments.
Interviewer: Um. Hellcats unfortunatley is no longer. Um, you had some crazy stuff going on there with Marti, did you expect it to go in that direction?
Gale: Yeah.
Interviewer: Really?
Gale: Yeah. I mean it’s a very classic Southern thing y’know. They fell in love and they weren’t allowed to…
Interviewer: Is it really?
Gale: Oh yeah. Are you kiddin’?
Interviewer: Um. I got some Twitter questions from your fans… and my favourite one that someone sent me – she wanted to know if you could have dinner with any of the characters you’ve ever played, which one would you have dinner with, and why?
Gale: Valentine Xavier. And because he actually went to hell… and came back.
Interviewer: Wondering what… that’s like?
Gale: Who isn’t, right?
Interviewer: Yep…
Gale: And I don’t mean the hell you’re thinking about.
Interviewer: No?
Gale: Well, maybe. Hades…
Interviewer: What’s it like working with Kevin Williamson, he’s sort of an icon…
Gale: He is an icon. But he’s very, very open and very sharing with what the undercurrents of
these characters are gonna be – which is good. Because when you come into something and you really don’t know where it’s gonna go, and you have to play it all straight, right? You wanna have a little bit of… a morsel, here and there. But I think – I mean, obviously the guy can go dark, right? And that’s what is exciting to me.
Interviewer: Do you think you’ll have some input into the character? You want it to go as dark as he can get, huh?
Gale: Um. Yeah. I mean, I would love to actually turn inside out. Right. You know?
Interviewer: That would be new!
Gale: Well. What’s that guy… he lost all of his skin… and you could just see him… his veins and his capilaries and his muscles…
Interviewer: It sounds like a TLC special!
Gale: No. It’s actually a real story.
Interviewer: Really?
Gale: No.
Interviewer: I’m done! I can’t do anymore.
Gale: Me too, you wore me out. Thank you very much.
