Nick Wechsler and Majandra Delfino Talk About The Show

"My character, Kyle is great to play," says Roswell cast member Nick Wechsler. "I can kind of relate to him and the stuff that happens to him." Wechsler says the whole cast enjoys one another. However, he feels William Sadler, who plays his father on the show, is the easiest to get along with. "I really admire his acting ability. He is always in control and I try to live up to him." Wechesler says he is never quite satisfied with his own performances and always strives to do better. Is it any wonder one of his favorite TV shows is X-Files?

The young actor, who was born Albuquerque, New Mexico, says Hollywood has taught him not to be too trusting. "I have to be careful that someone is not just out for a piece of me, or has some hidden agenda," comments Nick. But he was most influenced by a former girlfriend. "She taught me what life is really about, how to be fair, and how to be a better person."

The 21-year-old has no current girlfriend because he is so busy with Roswell. He can't remember too many funny moments on the set, but his co-star, Majandra Delfino, who plays Maria De Luca had no trouble recalling one. "There was this hilarios scene when Michael throws Kyle, but he threw him so hard, Kyle went over the couch," recalled Delfino. "All the cast was standing there laughing, but Nick just kept on acting until they called 'cut'."

Majandra has lots of fun with the show and her character. "Maria has many colors, and I like that. She's light and doesn't take things too seriously." This is somewhat Delfino's philosophy, too. "I don't fall for all the star stuff. It's not as glamorous as it seems." She claims she would be as happy just painting, writing songs, and playing the piano and guitar.

Majandra doesn't have a current steady but is content living in L.A. with her mom, stepdad, sister, poodle Gertrude and Pekinese, Tattoo. Her favorite TV show is Charmed and her favorite movie is the Last Unicorn. Her best advice to teens, "Be happy with being you."
