A veteran of film and stage, Seth Green has
been acting professionally since age six. By the time he was twelve, he
had a leading role in the Woody Allen's feature film "Radio Days." Since
then he has starred in numerous television and film projects, including
"Austin Powers:International Man of Mystery", "the X-Files", and "Stephen
King's It." Green began his role as Oz on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in
1997. Joss Whedon, the show's creator told green, "Oz would have the same
reaction to spray cheese as to true love," says Green. "Oz is unflappable
and I love being the guitar player on TV, I'm living out my rock and roll
fantasy." Four episodes turned into five, then eight, and now it's endless.
"The show is so fun and quirky but there's a lot of heart to it, that's
what's so appealing," describes Green. "It's smart, scary, and funny."
As for playing a werewolf Green says, "They take
their monsters pretty seriously without the show taking itself too seriously."
And the transformation? "It takes a lot of time and it's really difficult
to stand still," says Green. "It starts at 11:30am until 4:30pm hey have
to hand lay all of the hair on me, but the make-up artists there are so
great, so sweet and considerate. They make it as painless as possible and
the end result is worth the effect."
What does Green do when he's not starring in films
and on television? "I read a ton of magazines, I play pool, I love to see
any movie that's out, good or bad. The one bad thing about working," laments
Green, "you can't watch all the movies."
