INTERVIEW: Joe Flanigan (John Sheppard)

[Linzi]

I think it was a great interview!
Thanks so much to Darren and David and Joe!
Joe did seem tired,(not surprising after a day like that), but he comes across as just an average,humble and normal guy, which is very refreshing.
He also seems to appreciate the support of the fans, which is lovely too.

I've heard several times that Joe is quite the introvert. Remember that introverts expand a lot of energy when they deal with people, and recharge with solitude. Extroverts are the opposite - they draw energy from crowds and feel bored when they are alone. He obviously had a very long day and was quite drained.

As an introvert myself, I really admire him for doing these cons - it has to be nerve wracking and exhausting. Joe also seems to be just the average guy from the neighborhood. Refreshing change from the attitudes that other stars develop.

Very nice interview. Thanks guys!

Nice interview. Thank you!

If he was tired then I can understand completely

Kudos to Joe Flanigan

Joe is a really, really nice guy -- though, as the early moments of this interview reveal, a challenging interview. He's not really one to pontificate (or elaborate, unprompted), and he doesn't like commenting on things he hasn't done or seen yet.

Is the server with the interviews offline? I've tried both high and low bandwidth links and it's not responding.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I've tried that (and just did again for good measure) and it's as dead as a dodo. It's not even launching a "save as" file window.

Your welcome

Love the interview, thanks to GW and Joe. I only think, that I noticed him being a little reserved because you mentioned it, cause he strikes me as a normal and cool guy, and I believe him being reserved, makes him more normal

Good Interview, although it wasn't the best one I've Listened to/Watched.

Yeah, it was kinda funny he said "I'm a very social guy" or something, and yet he seemed very reserved...I guess he was just overworked from the convention...that happens sometimes (remember Galaxy Quest?)

Thanks David and Darren for all you do to keep us "Gating".

I saw the Joe's Vancouver con appearance just before that interview. Considering that it was his first solo flight I thought he was great. It would be exhausting to do that and then continue to be interviewed afterwards. In my book Joe's a real 'trooper' for doing cons. Looking foward to seeing him at another con in the future.

Again thanks to David and Darren too
