These are two of my favorite interviews to watch him in. Adorable can't accurately describe him as he discusses Farscape and his love of Australia. :D



with Craig Kilborn

with Craig Ferguston (promoting Peacekeeper Wars)

I love the hell out of the fact that Ben defends SciFi fans (well, he should since he is one himself) in the 2004 interview.

One thing I enjoy reading in Ben's interviews is his views as an actor, his humility in leaving the final judgment of his character(s) to the creators and to the fans. It's great to read that one of his favorite scenes to have shot on SG-1 was his scenes in the episode The Road Not Taken because that is one of my favorite episodes to watch him in despite the fact that we only get a short glimpse at Alt!Cameron in that universe.

This really was an awesome interview to read. Link

Before we start I want to thank Ben's management for setting us up and Ben Browder for his generosity and kindness, as he was most gracious with his time and the most fun to talk to anyone could possibly imagine. After a more or less "serious" start to the interview, while talking about his new project Freeze Frame, we spent the rest of the interview mostly joking and laughing about blogging, Twitter, a new career to fall back on and possibly killing someone with a Blackberry. This left me with a great dilemma .... do this strictly professional, keep it straight to Freeze Frame and serious, or go the fan-girl route. While listening to the interview again with a friend to write it down she commented that it was the funnest thing she had ever heard so it was decided - it has to be posted in full (or almost full ...)

I hope you enjoy.

BBO: First phone interview with you and there is a big quote on top of my notes and it says “Fail gloriously”.

Ben: Good Approach [laughs]

With the various interviews that Ben is doing lately, regarding Freeze Frame, it's easy to see what is typically asked beyond those pertaining to his current project(s). And it has me wondering what you would ask if given an opportunity to sit down and interview Ben? (not that he'd actually answer them all, you know how he can be. ;))

Myself, I'd ask him about how he approaches finding a character, how he interprets the writers words to bring a character to life. As well as ask him about his writing (though I'd avoid questions about what he's currently writing because I know he doesn't like to talk about that until things are all nice and shiny and ready for the world to see.)

What would you ask?

If you missed his interview last night, you can still listen to it on Sci-Fi Talk Live's website, download it on the page, or on iTunes (episode 50). They discuss Freeze Frame, Going Homer, as well as Farscape and SG-1. Touching off the beginning of the interview talking about the first time they met in New York two days before 9/11. The questions asked and the interviewer's (Tony Tellado ) comments are great, and we're treated to all sides of Ben's personality that we've all come to enjoy.

I think my heart did a little pitter pat of happiness when Ben says he told Fran he couldn't see the end of their relationship.

What do you think of the interview?

Shortly after GateWorld interviewed Ben Browder ("Colonel Cameron Mitchell") at the end of 2008, we received word of a new project he is starring in. "Freeze Frame" will tell the tale of two traumatized war veterans trying to end their lives, and Browder will play a pivotal role.

The YouTube video, a precursor to the full film, has garnered some attention, and despite the film’s early stage of development we wanted to hear more from Ben about the part.

Mark your calenders for May 18th in order to listen to his radio interview at Sci-Fi Talk-Live.

One thing that I've always loved about Ben's interviews is that they're never boring, the man can't answer a question completely straight-lace. He's great at dodging questions he doesn't want to answer but in a way that's not insulting to the person conducting the interview and he keeps things fun, even when he's discussing something serious.

And how can you not like a guy that re-works Gunga Din for his daughter's first birthday? *vbg*

LAScaper regarding her interview of Ben about Freeze Frame:

I spoke with Ben about his new role in the upcoming movie Freeze Frame. But talking to Ben rarely results in a straight Q&A session. The topics of conversation included the nature of veterans health issues highlighted in Freeze Frame, the movie’s promotional website, Freeze Frame’s award winning writer and producer Jonas McCord, when is a blog not a blog, the idea that artistic expression may affect social change, how tuned in fans are to his projects, coaching high school pole vaulting, fear of the dentist leads to sanity in stunt work, the joys of rhyming poetry, family pets, and then back to the subject at hand.

Freeze Frame is intended to add to the centuries old conversation about taking care of the men and women that fight to protect our freedoms. As Ben put it, “What you’re really talking about is the state of individuals who return from war. And how they cope. In my estimation it’s a human story.” One thing’s for sure when you’re talking to Ben Browder. It’s always interesting!
