(A) Once the film was finished it took on a life of its own - you look at yourself on the screen and you don't feel part of the action, just a spectator. The image on the screen is just a character in the film - you don't feel a personal connection to it. My reaction to BT is the same as anyone else watching it - you laugh, you cry, you spew....... And its been so long now that it feels like a lifetime ago.

(Q) Were you kind of dissapointed when you didn't get to play the part of the hero that wipes out all the Aliens like it was planed originally?

(A) Nah - there were lots of ideas and storylines that came and went over the years - at one stage I was going to discover a flying car and battle a giant beast, my death was filmed (impaled on a tree), and we spent a couple of Sundays filming me disappearing down a chute on the side of a hill (I can't quite remember why...) I think it was the stuff that took a lot of time, effort, pain and discomfort to shoot that didn't make it into the film that I regret.

(Q) When you read articals or see images of Peter Jackson on papers and on the tv, do you think to your self, "if it wasn't for his mates, he would have got no where"?

(A) No - there's no point in getting bitter and twisted about that sort of thing, Pete worked very hard and expended a lot of time, cash and energy on BT - and grabbed hold of the oppertunities that came his way, so good luck to him. I think its fair to say that that BT was not all Pete - we all contributed to its success.

(Q) Do you get bugged often by die hard fans like me

(A) I'm always happy to talk to fans - we're all proud of BT but never imagined that 14 years after it was released it would still be generating so much interest - i'm looking forward to the release of the DVD - hopefully it'll do well.

(Q) Did you know that Bad Taste would be made over 4 years?

(A) When we started shooting, the idea was to make a 20 minute short that we hoped would screen at the Wellington Film Festival. Being young and naive we thought we'd be able to knock it off in six weeks............the rest is history.

(Q) With more and more people finding out about BT do you get recognised on the streets more than ever before?

(A) Not so much these days - after the film first came i would get stopped in the supermarket and on the street. I lived in the UK for most of the 90's and would occaisionly have contact with fans there.

(Q) After starring in BT did you have any regrets about certain scenes when the film was released?

(A) No - my only regret is that we able to shoot the film in 35mm, but hopefully the Re-Mastering for the DVD release later this will improve the picture quality.

(Q) What was the most complicated and hardest scene to shoot?

(A) Probably the scene where the Capri is blown up - mainly because we only had 1 chance to get it right and we had 6 cameras on it to make sure we got quality footage. In fact we didn't get it quite right - the car was meant to launch itself into the air but we misjudged the amount of expolsives required.

(Q) Do the boys from A.I.D.S still keep in touch and meet up?

(A) I am in regular contact with Pete O'Hrerne and Mike Minett - haven't seen Terry for years.

(Q) If you were given the chance to star in a sequel with the same $ budget and equipment would you be interested?

(A) I think we'd all be keen on getting the old team back together - I'm not sure whether it'll happen though, but who knows? Theres definitly a lot of interest in a sequel out there.

(Q) What was your favorite scene?

(A) Hard to say really - probably the scene where Terry drop kicks the head out the window - it still cracks me up every time I watch it
