EUREKA - SHOW PATROL: Niall Matter Interview
By Curt Wagner
July 10, 2011
Niall Matter found the perfect role when he joined the cast of "Eureka."
"I'm not unlike Zane in a lot of ways," said Matter, speaking of Zane Donovan, the snarky, bad-boy physicist he's played since the second season of the Syfy series about a town of genius inventors and scientists.
Matter isn't a physicist, but he knows computers well enough to have recently fixed co-star Neil Grayston's. His eight years working on Canadian oil rigs when he was younger prepared him for the action-hero-worthy stunts he gets to do as Zane. And, he admits, he still has "that little flair of a troublemaker" that led his parents to send him away when he was in high school...
[NOTE FROM CURT: I’ve removed big chunks of the interview for spoiler reasons. Check back each week for Matter’s take on the first three episodes.]
... Show Patrol: I’ve seen “Liftoff” and I love all the great comedy you and Neil Grayston get to do. It’s almost two episodes.
Niall Matter: "Yeah, that’s the thing. It really is like two episodes because you have what’s happening on the ground and then you have what’s happening up in space. And all of the CGI up in space? Could you believe that? It was amazing, phenomenal. It looked incredible. You do get a really different feel whenever you’re up in the capsule with us … I was really impressed with how that episode turned out..."
Eureka season 4.5 premieres Monday, July 11, 2011 at 8/7C on Syfy.
