It's Not Easy Being Green
Friday 9 November 2007 on NBC
Delinda wants Danny and the casino staff to be more environmentally friendly.
Charles is featured in a number of Xena trading cards, including a special autograph card as the Archangel Michael.
(edit)
Charles was happy to make the move to Los Angeles, but one part of life in the US has been difficult to get used to- driving in the city has been scsry for him.
(edit)
When a romance was first scripted for Charles' Street Legal character "Kees" with Katherine Kennard's "Joni", Charles meant to play it in his usual "strong cop" way, but found that when he was actually shooting the scenes with Katherine, his character naturally became much more vulnerable because of the two actors' chemistry.
(edit)
Charles has written a number of scripts for his hit show Street Legal. One of his favorite storylines that he used included athletes using performance enhancing drugs.
(edit)
Charles' last name is pronounced "Meh- zhur- ray".
(edit)
Charles: (on "City Life", his first acting job) Within a couple of months of finishing drama school I was kissing Kevin Smith in the middle of the road!
(edit)
Charles: (on acting in the US) There are a lot of pretty boys and I'm not a pretty boy. When you're here, you can see why someone like Russell Crowe has done so well.
(edit)
Charles: (on his reasons for coming to act in the US) I came here to do a fan convention for Xena: Warrior Princess and I met an agent who got all excited about the work that I’d done in New Zealand and he urged me to come out for pilot season and give it a shot. I figured that I’d had a great run in New Zealand, but I didn’t know how much more there would be. In certain quarters, it was suggested that I was getting a bit long in the tooth for New Zealand, anyway, so I thought I’d come here before I get too old to do it.
(edit)
Charles: (on th romance between Van Dam and Joni on "Street Legal" The first date we went on I set out to play him as Kees' usual confident, tough self- you know, devilish charm kind of thing- and then when I got opposite Katherine [Kennard], a vulnerable kind of thing happened, so there's now a whole other side to the character, which is nice.
(edit)
Charles: (on guest starring on "Xena") If you're a big lumpy guy they can give you a rubber sword and turn you into some warrior dude.
