How would you handle the reaper role differently than George?
I think if got to the point where I was already dead, there isn't anything worse that can happen to me, so if they're going to try to tell me what to do, why should I do it? . . . She hasn't picked up on the whole having fun thing.
How do you prepare yourself to play George?
I listen to music. It sets me in the mood. I just try to remain in a tranquil place in my head.
Did you ever work at a temp agency?
No. Thank God.
The show already has attained a sort of cult status. What's the weirdest fan thing to come out of it?
An alligator head in the mail. That was a little strange.
What kind of roles are you being offered?
A lot of independent films. . . . I have to find one I really like.
Much of "Dead Like Me" takes place in the Der Waffle Haus. How's the food there?
We don't really eat it. I drink Diet 7-Up. Mandy [Patinkin] eats a bran muffin. Roxy [Jasmine Guy] eats fruit salad. Callum [Blue] eats whatever is in front of him. And Laura [Harris] peels grapes.
The reapers are given yellow Post-it Notes with the victim's initials, last name, and time and place of death. Has that changed the way you look at those little slips of paper?
It's funny, my dad used to leave me notes on Post-its. And he still does, and I'm like, "No, not Post-its."
