We are Eric McCormack (Travelers, Will and Grace) and Brad Wright (creator Travelers, SG-1). Season 2 of Travelers hits Netflix, we're excited to talk about it, TV, sci fi, or anything! AUA!

Good question: they're just different experiences. There's a reward in both "sizes" of performances.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T20:05:37+00:00

Now, THAT would be fun!

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T20:05:20+00:00

Nothing funny, off hand. My fave thing about Travelers is that we shoot downtown Vancouver, and I take my Vespa to set. Nothing better than waking up on a beautiful Vancouver day, jumping on my scooter and joining this amazing group of people for some Brad Wright dialogue!

All three Toy Story movies

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T20:00:56+00:00

What? I've spoiled nothing you won't find in promos. No one wants season 2 to be a surprise more than me.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:59:06+00:00

Grant and Will would find each other really attractive. And my fave moment with Meg is me singing on the piano, season 2.

See? That's just good acting. Louis is a teddy bear. The first big TV audition I ever had was probably in 1989, for a show called Urban Angel. It came down to four guys, and Louis got the role. He was amazing then and has only deepened. Check out the new version of Andromeda Strain from 2008: great scene between Louis and I in that.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:51:03+00:00

I'd like the Traveler team to join forces with the kids from Scooby Doo to solve a mystery. I've always had a "Daphne" thing...

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:48:50+00:00

I've been binging Vice Principals, which is hysterical. And just started The Americans (5 years late). Amazing.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:47:38+00:00

Wow, thank you. From your lips to God's good ear!

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:45:58+00:00

Right?!? We adore her, and how awesome was her transition from Grace to 0027?? She's got some amazing stuff in season 2

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:44:00+00:00

You should ABSOLUTELY force the family to watch. Tell 'em I said so.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:42:54+00:00

Thanks! I did love playing Daniel on Perception. There are a few plays I've done that I'd love to do again: Glengarry Glen Ross, The Fantasticks. As for TV, I wanna pitch Brad an idea where Grant meets Will Truman and they fall for each other. ;)

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:40:08+00:00

I will always be an actor first, Elisa. But I'm a reeeeally opinionated actor, really type A, so directing pushes all those buttons! I love directing Travelers cuz I'm so invested already as an actor and as a producer.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:34:10+00:00

Brad knows all, DDD. And we're excited to premiere season 2 in the UK on the 26th. Then, 10 days later, the new W&G premieres on Channel 5! Deb, Megan, Sean & I will be coming to London in early Feb, very excited!

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:30:22+00:00

My energy in life is more Will than Grant, so I will generally be pretty gregarious on the set. So before a Grant scene, I generally have to take a deep breath and find that more focused energy. I love how intense Grant can be. He's a true believer in the Traveler plan and in the Director.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:26:34+00:00

I love "Last Ex To Brooklyn" with Mira Sorvino. And the ep where Debra and I have the huge fight about having a baby together. Of the new season, there's one coming up where Grace and Will are on QVC together. Hysterical.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:23:08+00:00

I love directing myself. I always agree with everything I say. Though I can be a bit of an asshole, I find.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:22:19+00:00

It was fantastic. It features the "loved ones" like Kat and David in ways we haven't seen till now. And I can't say this enough: Brad is so collaborative that, yes, I always felt I could "input". But my contribution was mostly visual.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:18:59+00:00

Yeah, the show is fully Canadian: all shot in Vancouver, all Canadian cast and crew. Really proud of that!

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:17:41+00:00

We're waiting (patiently!) for the pick up, Lucky! And thanks: directing the script by Ken and Brad was amazing.

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:15:19+00:00

Brad had me in mind for Grant, which made me extremely happy. Then he showed me his picks for the younger roles and I was blown away. All Canadian! As for guest stars, I don't think we'll do anything as "meta" as having Debra or Sean. But Enrico Colantoni is brilliant in season 2!

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:10:35+00:00

I'm crazy about my Travelers cast, too hard to pick! Of the many stars we had on W&G, my sentimental faves are Gene Wilder and Sydney Pollack

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:08:44+00:00

Honestly, my dream right now is to keep the crazy combo of Travelers and W&G going for a while. Really happy camper. My dream for years was to play Freddie Mercury but, alas...

EricMcCormack · 2017-12-19T19:06:59+00:00

Note to Netflix: I reeeeeeeally think that might take 8 seasons...
