Angel star Alexis Denisof, who plays 'watcher' Wesley
Wyndham-Pryce, gets spiritual with NW.
NW: You're American, but your character on Angel in
British - do people think you're from England?
AD:They think I'm a freak! I lived in London for 10
years before moving back, so people just can't work
out where I'm from,
NW: Why'd you move back?
AD: I came back to the States on vacation, to get over
a broken heart, Before I knew it, the week's vacation
had turned into a full year of work. When I got back
to Britain, the mail had piled up and the plants were
dead.
NW:Your show's all about another realm - are you spiritual?
AD: I ask myself alot of spiritual questions and I
do meditate. The more I do explore, the less able I
to say with certainty what I believe in, because more
and more things become possible.
NW: Do you trust yourself?
AD: Noew I do. I've realised I don't have to make a
plan for every minute of the day. I think Australians
are very good at that, because they get to a certain
age and they go travelling - they just go with the flow,
but Americans don't really do that. It would be good
if we could do that and loosen up.
NW: You're pretty fearless as the 'watcher' - do you
have any real-life fears?
AD: I don't like sickers. Any kind, mainly price tags.
And particularly those little stickers on fruit ...
NW: What do you most miss about England?
AD: The newspapers, the pub, big fry-ups, a decent
cup of tea, the countryside and strawberries in June.
