So did you like the show (Space: Above and Beyond)?
Ashlyn Gere (Feliciti - A.I.): I 'loved' the show. Glen (Morgan) and James (Wong) gave me a wonderful opportunity. In the beginning the show was a little dark. And the most difficult part for me was the wearing of the contact lenses, because they weren't just normal size. They were about 20 millimeters. I don't wear contact lenses.
ESD: Yea I do, so I know what you mean.
AG: It was a whole new sensation for me. They were hand painted… white with the crosshairs. We had a pinhole that we were looking through, and most of the time we had to be led to and from the shot. We had a young man who was actually the contact wrangler. And his whole job on the set was to take the contacts in and out. He also does it for Babylon (5). So that was a unique experience.
ESD: What's the most fun you had on the show? What part was your favorite part?
AG: Um… I like when I had Kristen (Cloke) and Lanei (Chapman) in jail.
ESD: "Choice or Chance"?
AG: Yea that's was it. I had a stunt girl who got to do all the actual fighting, but I liked that one. CONTINUE TO PAGE 2          or Return to Diablo Labs Home Page
