What prompted you to go back and do another episode of Bones?
It's always been a pleasure to work with David
Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, who play Booth
and Bones. The producers have been very kind and
asked me back many times, but I have always been
unable to do it. This time, it worked out.
It sounds like a fun storyline.
We actually filmed scenes at a death metal concert. It was quite a shocking sight and a terrible noise.But underneath all the studs, tattoos and fetishistic
dressing, most of them are absolute sweethearts.
So are you a fan of death metal now?
I've always been aware that it existed but that doesn't mean I want to hear it!
Will viewers learn anything new about Wyatt?
Well, theres the fact that he used to be a
glam-rocker! When I read the script I thought
"Oh my God, I'm going to have to get into a gold
láme outfit and it will bulge in all the right places." Fortunately, they altered a photo with the magic of digital technology. I look like a cross between Marc Bolan and Brian May with big hair and a star-shaped
guitar.
Do you enjoy playing a psychiatrist?
The beauty of playing a psychiatrist is that it's a licence to be eccentric. It is one of the marvellous ironies that its a job where you are helping the mentally unstable, yet it is the psychiatrists who often exhibit the most weirdness.
Have you had any feedback from real psychiatrists?
Emily Deschanel has a family friend who was a
psychiatrist in Washington. This sounds very boastfulbut he says it is the best representation of a psychiatrist that he has seen.
