Interview  |  Anthony Simcoe
Stop laughing all the time.

Picture What sort of atmosphere do you get on the Farscape sets?

I�ve been working for a long time now on many different sets with different crews from all around the world and Farscape is the most fun set I have ever worked on. Every single department, the cast, the crew, everyone just gets along so well. There are such funny people on set, not just the cast, in fact more so the crew, that I leave every single day crying with laughter. My make-up girl Nick is like "Will you stop laughing all the time, you�re just ruining the make-up for me."

It�s a really fantastic show to work on, and apart from the fun aspect of it the crew and the cast really really want to make it good. I find that really rare on television. On film that happens all the time, but on long running television shows, although people care, and work really hard and they�re dedicated fine artists, there�s something about the fact that they�re doing it week in, week out, month in, mouth out, year in, year out, that starts to make it a little bit stale.

But, every single person on Farscape is really dedicated to making every episode fantastic television. To be around that just lifts my spirits 150 per cent, so working with Farscape is the most enjoyable job I�ve ever done in my life.
