A veteran of film and stage, Seth Green has been
acting professionally since age six. By the time he
was twelve, he had a leading role in the Woody Allen's
feature film "Radio Days." Since then he has starred
in numerous television and film projects, including
"Austin Powers:International Man of Mystery", "the
X-Files", and "Stephen King's It."
Green began his role as Oz on "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer" in 1997. Joss Whedon, the show's creator
told green, "Oz would have the same reaction to spray
cheese as to true love," says Green. "Oz is
unflappable and I love being the guitar player on TV,
I'm living out my rock and roll fantasy." Four episodes
turned into five, then eight, and now it's endless. "The
show is so fun and quirky but there's a lot of heart to it,
that's what's so appealing," describes Green. "It's
smart, scary, and funny."
As for playing a werewolf Green says, "They take their
monsters pretty seriously without the show taking itself
too seriously." And the transformation? "It takes a lot
of time and it's really difficult to stand still," says
Green. "It starts at 11:30am until 4:30pm They have to
hand lay all of the hair on me, but the make-up artists
there are so great, so sweet and considerate. They
make it as painless as possible and the end result is
worth the effect."
What does Green do when he's not starring in films
and on television? "I read a ton of magazines, I play
pool, I love to see any movie that's out, good or bad.
The one bad thing about working," laments Green,
"you can't watch all the movies."
