Interview: Seth Peterson & Michael Shanks from Burn Notice
We had the pleasure of speaking with Seth Peterson (Nate Westen on 'Burn Notice') and Michael Shanks (Victor on 'Burn Notice') at Comic Con '09!
Have you guys been to Comic Con before?
Michael Shanks: Oh yeah. I've been seven of the last eight years. I've seen my Comic Con for sure.
We were just talking about how it has gotten bigger and bigger. Is that your perception as well?
Michael Shanks: Absolutely, it's gotten bigger and bigger. Eight years ago when I came there was like less than half the people that are here in terms of capacity. There's 125,000 or 126,000 people here this year. It's become quite corporate compared to when I was first here. Every year it seems to change. It's still very exciting. I'm glad that a lot of the hardcore fans are still coming out. It's not become a due for the corporations. It's still very much for the fans. It's a great window to see certain things. It's a great platform for shows that aren't usually allowed to come to conventions like Burn Notice and Psych to actually get some feedback. Otherwise their kind of sitting in a vacuum going well Nelson says this, and our message board says this. This is a great thing for Matt Nix to come here a find out how the fans really adore the show.
Seth Peterson: On the opposite of the scale, I've never been. Happy to be here.
Having not been here before, what was it like for you being out on that stage?
Seth Peterson: That was crazy, I've never seen anything like that before. I mean, I've done press junkets, but there like press room size with a couple hundred people in them, and that was outrageous. The one thing that was my favorite part was right before we started, because when we sat down the lights were all hot so I couldn't really see everything. When they turned them down for the monitors so everyone could see the clips, I was just tripping man over how many people were out there. It was so awesome. It was electric, you know the energy was so positive. It was really a lot of fun. The only negative that I could come up with was that, you know and it sucks, was Bruce Campbell. I mean having him there just sucked the energy right out of the place and made everybody uncomfortable.
Michael Shanks: He can be a real downer sometimes. It's too bad about his drinking and everything like that.
Seth Peterson: He's taken that same stuff from the set and he's just brought it and affected the rest of us.
You could kill him off by the end of the season and just get rid of that whole element.
Seth Peterson: I sure hope so. I've had enough.
Michael Shanks: He might get killed off before he leaves the building today. [laughs]
Seth Peterson: It was amazing, he was absolutely amazing.
