Nick Lea was up next and said that he was just filming a scene with DD who was
still working and couldn't be there tonight, though he wanted to be. There
were a few jeers from the audience and Nick responded basically with "You don't
know him, only what you get from the media." He pointed out his Dad in the
audience. "His sperm brought me into this world," he said. He recalled the
last time he was in the Orpheum was to see Santana play. As mentioned he said
he auditioned for Steven Bochco, for NYPD Blue, and he's down to one of four.
(Oh pleasepleasepleaseplease...) The Al Pacino movie didn't work out for some
reason. He seemed comfortable and open on stage, admitting it when he lost his
train of thought when describing Krycek's character. He was glad/proud of
being in front of a home-town audience, and proud of the whole show. He really
likes what he does for a living, especially XF, and seems to just get a kick
out of the whole thing.
WBD came on and did his compare and contrast Mulder and CSM. Just as he
started, Nick snuck back onstage to retrieve some flowers some fans had given
him and WBD called him "that Ratboy" for stealing the spotlight.
An excerpt from the report
JMM posted to ATX:
Other tidbits:
Nick confirmed he will be in THE X-FILES next season!
He didn't get the part in that Al Pacino movie he auditioned for.
Nick is on the short list to replace Jimmy Smits in NYPD Blue - one of only four actors still being considered.
Why did Krycek kiss Mulder? "[Krycek's] a guy who likes kissing other guys."
There was a moderately ribald exchange between Nick and Dean Hagland
concerning the prosthetic mask Nick used in "Apocrypha" (the oilien goop
scene). Nick made a comment about having never worn "latex prosthetics"
before. This got Dean's attention, and he said something to the effect of
"Not anywhere? Ever?" and things went down hill from there. :-)
Though JMM reported that Nick said he saw DD because they were filming together, others claim Nick didn't say they weren't filming, he said they met for drinks, or went out for coffee. It's an X-file, I guess....
