Amy Acker Interview
Amy Acker, your character and Gunn (J. August Richards) have had a major falling out. Acker: I don't really know what's happening for the rest of the season, because we never know. I don't think they trust us [laughs]. ... But Angelus ... sort of ruins everything with everyone. He really tries to get to everyone, and succeeds. So ... I think I would get in trouble if I said that. But the Gunn and Fred do not bear well with Angelus in the picture. This is your character's first encounter with Angelus. Acker: I do not like Angelus. He makes sure of it early on. He tries to do everything to make sure that we all hate him, so it works. Can you talk about how the current story arc fits with what's going on in Buffy, where an apocalypse is also coming? Acker: I [asked], "Well, do we have the same Big Bad as them?" But I think it's a different thing going on. Right now, we have Faith on the show, and she's doing three episodes with us, and then she's going to Buffy to do five episodes there. So that's sort of the closest thing to a crossover we've had. We're in the middle of it. What's it like working with Eliza? Acker: She's great. Fred and Faith haven't had too much interaction. But it's a good, you know, tough energy to have on the set. Do you think you'll be picked up for next year? Acker: We have no idea. We hope so. It feels like we still have some more to say with the show. At least another year. ... It's hard, because Buffy is ending this year. But they may do a spinoff, and we're not really sure. So we're hoping that we've kind of proven that we can stand on our own without Buffy, at least for a little while. How do you feel about the show's move to Wednesdays from Sundays? Acker: I think it'll be good for us. ... We did well on Mondays, and Sundays was fine, so ... hopefully everyone will know that we moved and come watch us there. |
