Jonathan Brandis

“One time I can stand fiddling in front of the mirror for an hour and another time I think: well hack, this is just the best it can get. Only if I have to go to work I really try to look fantastic.”

“When you're young, you should live out every weekend. Even if you look like a scarecrow, you just gotta go!”

“My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself.”

“Roy Schneider was cool. I learned quite a bit from him.”

“I think that my biggest role models are people that have maybe struggled for a while and then finally gotten to their destination.”

“I mean, I try to say the right things and give the right advice. But still, I'm only a person.”

“As an actor you have one great fear: pimples!”

“I do remember that I was sitting in the make-up chair before the shoots for a commercial or film or other, and I thought: Sometime soon they are going to make a close-up of me and millions of people can see how many pimples I've got on my cheeks.”

“I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality.”

“It's of course understandable that people want to know about actors in their favourite series.”

“I do look forward to doing things in the future that I haven't done before. Do you know what I have always dreamt about? Playing a serial killer!”

“Allthough that doesn't happen often lately, I like to read exciting thrillers and those kinky magazines.”

“I think it's all about how much you love, understand and can relate to the material you are given.”

“My friends would probably describe me as silly. And honest. And that I think about things a bit too much.”

“Because the series is situated in the next century, and for the most part under water, there are many innovative technical gadgets. It's a kind of StarTrek. When I first came there, I was really impressed myself.”

“And sometimes I sit down to write, because that is what I like to do more and more in the future.”

“My mother is my manager and so knows exactly what I do and so on.”

“I don't like being told someone's interpretation of something that I do.”

“I like strong girls, as long as they don't get snappish. And furthermore I think it important that you are good buddies and she does not get angry when you don't have your day.”

“I want to be remembered as an actor who put in some good work in the beginning of his career, even better work at the end of his career and slowly, successfully made the transition into writing and directing.”
