Which of your many roles did you find the most challenging and why?

 "Billy Caulder in "WI' with Twiggy because it was so different from my own self."

 **

What future career goals would you like to achieve?

 "I yet have a novel to write, a restaurant to start and many foreign lands to travel.  I also wish to produce my own adventure, comedy films.'

**

Do you speak any foreign languages?

 "Unfortunately, no.  Although I did study German in high school and could, with a little study, get conversational again."

 **

Have you made any further progress on your book, "Cooking For Love"? 
"Negative .... THE A TEAM consumes all creative juices."

**

The three crown pendent that you often wear .... what is its meaning and does it hold any significance for you?

 "It is Sweden's national emblem.  It was given to me by the cast and crew of my first film, GEORGIA GEORGIA, which was made in Sweden and so holds great sentimental value."

 **

 Have you remained in contact with any members of the original "Battlestar Galactica” cast?

 "No, we have all drifted apart. Although I see Lorne Greene from time  time and it is always great to see him.  I have no idea where Richard is.”          

**

How would you improve your present character of "Face" if you had a free  hand in his development?              

"I am allowed to make many suggestions. Next year "Face" will have his own car (CORVETTE) and dress right out of G.Q. Also their will be more    cons and he'll handle all the finances for the Team. A gourmet who loves fine wine, women, ect.”

Concerning your new series, THE A TEAM, do you feel there are any improvements that could be made to insure its continued success?
"Oh we will get much better... WATCH!! For one thing, the scripts will improve as the writers have more time to develope the stories which will        be more intricate and ingenious. Also, more interaction twixt the Team members.    One is only as good as the writing.  We have one of the best in   Stephen J. Cannell and his staff and look forward to some great adventures.
