BEING HUMAN - STARRY CONSTELLATION MAGAZINE: SAM WITWER AND ANNA FRICKE INTERVIEW
Q) I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about your initial reaction when you found out that basically everything about the show is being upended in the first two episodes; that the whole concept of the show- everybody sort of does become human in a way. And also if you had any concern that this might be too much of a superman-dive type of gimmick that might irritate dedicated fans?
Sam Witwer: "I really like it. I suppose the question is for me, considering Anna invented these shake-ups. I was thrilled. I thought it was really fantastic; in fact, the entire cast was really blown away with the move because you want to feel like the things that happen leave an indelible mark on the characters and on the situations, so you want the show to evolve. Sagers, you bring up the superman example, the example I would bring up would be Battlestar Galactica - that I think the best thing they did was that big shakeup going into Season 3. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it...But I think Anna and her writers did a fantastic job in creating a season that allowed us to get really deep with our characters this year. This is definitely the character season where we really get to know the characters even better than we did before in a big way."
Anna Fricke: "If I could just add to that, I think part of what we've always loved about the concept of the show is that with great pain lies great humor and it's a very human process that they're going through. And the whole concept of Being Human is that it's never going to work out for these people. So, even if we do something like shake it up as we did in the first season, something is going to go wrong there and it's never really going to work out. So I guess that’s why I always feel safe and the writers feel safe in playing within those parameters because it's not going to work out. And if it ever does work out, that's the end of the show. So, we have some room to play with..."
