And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.
Scott Speedman -
I don't think I would be getting any of these movies without that show, and that's a strong show, a great fan base and it's helped me out a lot. It took me out of Canada and brought me down to the states and gave me my career basically.

You've got to just go do what you do - you can't really worry about who was attached to the movie before.
Scott Speedman -
It's really difficult to have a challenging male-driven show, and certain networks take off because they have their own mandate about what they want to do.
Scott Speedman -
I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.
Scott Speedman -
And when I have lived elsewhere, every two weeks I have to fly back to LA. Even New York directors go there to audition. So I have to be there to a degree.
Scott Speedman -
I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and then I got this call from a casting director in Los Angeles. She remembered me from something years before, and she called my mom wanting me to audition for this thing.
Scott Speedman -
I'd like to do the young cadet thing again for sure, but that's why I wanted to do this, to see if I could do it. I took the scenes out of the script and put them together and read them as one little arc, story and that seemed to work.

I don't see the point in signing on to do something and then leaving.
Scott Speedman -
Well, when I did Underworld 2, I was in Vancouver for five months and I was reminiscent to be back up there.
Scott Speedman -
I was a swimmer growing up. I was a miler - like long, long distance. So I was in the water for four or five hours a day. That's not the way you want to spend your teenage years.
Scott Speedman -
There's such good writing now on television and I don't see a lot of great writing on films sadly.
Scott Speedman -
Every movie is different. Sometimes with movies, there are roles you should just leave alone and relax with and keep it light. And there are other ones where you want to work with an acting coach and really delve in there.
Scott Speedman -
Honestly, I love movies so much that I don't really have a favorite type. It's all script-related. Whatever genre it is, if it's cinematic at all or has a tone and a feel that I think is gonna be exciting to put up on screen, then I'm there and I'll put everything I have into it.

I'm not a guy that loves a lot of rehearsal, but it depends. It depends what it would be.
Scott Speedman -
Sexy is a girl who's comfortable with herself. Long legs are beautiful... and also a nice neck.
Scott Speedman -
I'm not as eager to go just work to work. I have another life outside of it, and if I'm pretty sure the movie's not going to have a life, or if it's not a director I believe in, then I probably will say no.
Scott Speedman -
I bought a house in LA, hanging out there and spending a lot of time in Toronto, but not much.
Scott Speedman -
And sex is definitely part of college life.
Scott Speedman -
I can walk down the street all day and people look at me, but they don't talk to me or stop me.
Scott Speedman
-
If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?
Scott Speedman -
I mean, I love California, but LA to me is still a strange place.
Scott Speedman -
I have a slight fear of sharks for some reason.
Scott Speedman -
Duets is about six people, so it's like three different movies - three different duets. I was on the set 18 days, spread out over three and a half or four weeks.
