In a four page article by Paul Simpson and Ruth Thomas, published in July's SFX, Lance talks a great deal about Millennium: "I felt that Chris Carter wanting to do Millennium was so courageous. He was the only guy who could have got it done, and I was happy to be part of that. We went three years so I think it succeeded." Lance had some criticism about the show: "You know what? They didn't use Frank's flashes right. It's like poetry: there are good poems and bad poems. A good poet uses less and less words, and the ones he uses are so specific, they're stunning. You can stop and feel it. With Frank Black, they started using those flashes, which should have been like poetry, to make up for, let's just say, a weak narrative. That bothered me." Henriksen likens the long experience on Millennium (70 shows over 3 years!!) to being in some alternative dimension. "It was really strange, " he comments. "Doing Millennium was like being in some kind of time capsule or space craft. It was like being on another planet, this world didn't exist any more. It was so intense up there. I loved the role, and I loved that amount of work, but the part that started to get to me was that I was so far from home." In the article Lance goes on to talk about his two forthcoming films: The Invitation and The Untold. And as for the future? Lance wants to do more Westerns. "I've done 3 and I want to do 20," he says (way to go Lance - we can cope with more of those, sue). And he wouldn't even be averse to another TV series, but with one proviso: "I would have to really believe in it." |
