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."
