Oh, I didn't get that error, that looks bad. I just couldn't get it to load. It could be my laptop, it and GW sometimes have issues.

I haven't tried on the big computer yet.

It is playing beautifully on GateWorld Play

and It was a wonderful Interview. Ben is so willing to just roll with the conversation and expound on things in different directions. He is so funny I can't even begin to describe it

. I really am looking forward to what happens with both Going Homer and the Farscape Webisodes.

Mr.MacGadget · #9 January 12th, 2009, 07:07 AM

I got some problems with the high version too

It says: the connection failed. Try later.
So, I downloaded the low version. 41 minutes, wow, that's awesome! Exciting! I'm gonna watch it right now.

Mr.MacGadget · #10 January 12th, 2009, 08:49 AM

I just finished the interview, and it was great. So great. First of all, smart questions, really, I think I's ask the same thing myself, and he gave such smart answers, he was funny and bright.

He loves Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - me too!

What an amazing love story indeed. And the joke about the baseball hat, the Michael Shanks joke!

And all of it, he's great. That's it.
Oh, and the last thing, he mentioned, this when you look back at your youth, it was very, very true.

Thanks so much for this interview. It was awesome!

I absolutely love Ben's interviews. He is such a fun and funny guy. Always so optimistic. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I am looking forward to "Going Homer" and being a Farscape fan I am anxious to see the webisodes.

I've only read the interview because I'm at work, but it sounds like a great interview. Questions were asked about projects I'm wondering about, and Ben was his usual funny and charming self. I'm looking forward to watching it when I get home.

The high quality QuickTime file is 100MB and is definitely causing problems, so I recommend everyone head for the Flash version:

Ben Broweder is one of the coolest actors ever. Not just because of the characters he plays but he also seems to have a nice personality off-camera as well. Hope we get some more information on those Farscape webisodes soon.

I got the same error message, so I watched the flash version

Thanks David and Tammy for this enlightening interview.

Darren · #16 January 12th, 2009, 05:56 PM

The larger QuickTime version should now be fixed. Thanks, David!

Kliggins · #17 January 13th, 2009, 06:22 AM

I forgot to say: Tame, you did great on the pictures.

Thank You I had a great Subject to work with

However special thanks and all the credit goes to David for not only having a wonderful camera but for also taking the time to work with me on how to position things in order to take those great shots

So thanks David

Kudos to Ben too since he was candid, thoughtful and able to still be *in* the interview with a weird woman moving around in the background taking pictures of him

discodiva · #19 January 13th, 2009, 09:50 AM

Thank you very much for this.......what a lovely, lovely man....

Once again, Ben shows what a treat he is to interview. Too many times in this day and age, we get bland one line answers from people. But Ben just completely opens up, addressing each question thoroughly.

I would hate to go in unprepared for an interview with him. Similar to an interview that occurred a few months ago, he really does know his facts on stuff. Again, it is just great to an interview that can hold the attention span past a few seconds.

Nice to get some updates on his upcoming projects, especially on the Farscape webisodes - where news has been scant for us recently on that.
