Biography: "My first job as an actor was on Dark Angel, an episode called 'Gill Girl.' I played a gill guy, or gill man, or a merman, or gill boy, whatever. They had so many nicknames for me it wasn't funny. The guys who did my prosthetics, WCT, based in Vancouver, they did all the special effects makeup and all the special effects and prosthetics and they also did my prosthetics for Freddy vs. Jason, so there's one of the main connections between the two - my first job and this job. I didn't actually say any words. My character spoke in a like dolphin kind of language, so that was weird because it was all put it by a computer afterwards.
In Freddy vs. Jason, all the prosthetics were done because they made a full-scale replica of my entire body, so you're still going to recognize me because I never had to wear anything on my face. I love doing the prosthetics. It's a totally different world and I can understand how you can totally hate it. I mean, I myself get edgy after awhile because you're freezing cold and you're like barely wearing any clothes. You've got to stand like this. 'Lay down here. Sit like this. Don't move. Hold this facial expression.' And the stuff is freezing. It's so cold, then it's like warm, and then it's cold.
I'm not going to tell anyone the end of the movie! But anyway, just one day they're like, 'Hey, you're going to audition for it.' So I read for it in Vancouver and they brought me back in for the callback and they wanted to see me, but I was just leaving to come down here to work on another two episodes of American Dreams. So, I was like, 'Can they meet me in the U.S. because I have to go there!' So I met the director down here and I went in and read for him. He was just being himself, Ronny Yu. I walked in and he's like, 'You're Canadian, right?' I'm like, 'Yep.' He's like, 'Are we gonna hear it?' I'm like, 'Nope.' He's like, 'Okay, go ahead.' I did the audition and he gave me a few directions. I changed it the best I could to match what he wanted - my character in this is like extremely rude! Well, rude's an understatement. He's just so mean."
