Zitat des Tages von Ian Ziering:
I don't want to make any mistakes. My parents have been married for 40 years. I want to stay married.
There was such mass appeal for 'Sharknado.' It went over so well - not just here in the United States but globally - that it would be such a missed opportunity and a ripoff for the fans not to bring 'Sharknado' back.
Failure is not an option. So, we're committed to the success of not just our relationship but to raising two amazing girls... It's dedication. We've anchored ourselves to a foundation of accountability, and we've set out to be successful at this, so we're going to do it.
Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.
As an actor, I get my insurance from the Screen Actor's Guild by union, and you have to make so much every year to get that type 1 insurance.
'Dancing With the Stars' has become a phenomenon, and when I look at that type of reality show, it's like a variety show.
Before 'Dancing with the Stars,' I'd directed a short called 'Man vs. Monday' that I sent out to all the festivals just to show I can direct and produce. It was also a template to launch a movie or a TV series.
I get fan letters written in everything from crayons to lipstick.
With all the cable and Internet channels you have available, you have so much opportunity. If you want to say something, you can say it and have people see it.
Dancing isn't easy, and to just jump into three to four hours of rehearsals a day is a lot.
When I read the script for '90210,' I thought, 'Boy, this is very superficial,' and it was. I mean, the pilot was all about the glitz and the glamour of Beverly Hills, the obnoxious kids, and the fish-out-of-water story of Brenda and Brandon Walsh. I couldn't discern from that first script that the show would become very issue-oriented.
I'm a dad, and that's a job you can't fail at.
As an actor, you know that every act has a closing curtain.
When all the other kids were playing sports after school, I wanted to sing and dance and act.
My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates.
I like action-adventure movies.
There are so many people that say they are actors and they don't spend for 5 minutes a day working on their craft. You need to train and need to take classes to keep your tools sharp. I'm always in class, whether it's theater or drama workshops.
It's intimidating when you have to stand onstage amongst a bunch of men who are dedicated to maintaining peak musculature and athleticism, and they're six-five, 240 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal. It's a lot to stand up to... My goal is to not look like Chris Farley.
I'm doing what every guy in America has secretly fantasized - being a Chippendales dancer and having women throw themselves at you.
People have always told me I look young for my age... and I think it's because I've always taken care of myself.
I treat auditions as if they are gold. I try to make every one count.
I never envisioned that I would be able to bring something to the entertainment table that would fit Las Vegas. Vegas is so presentational; it's live theater and, for me, it's always been film or television, which isn't why people come to Las Vegas. So it's exciting to be apart of all of this, the thrust of the entertainment of Vegas.
Major motion picture studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to capture some of whatever it is that makes our little 'Sharknado' movie globally popular.
In the entertainment industry, there remains one constant: change.
To be with old friends is very warming and comforting.
I can't tell you the deluge of images that were sent to me through all the different social media platforms of families partying together... enjoying 'Sharknado.'
Anything I can do to raise awareness and money for charity, I like to do.
Being a dad is the best role I've ever played, with all due respect to Steve Sanders. It really is the best thing ever.
When I read the first 'Sharknado' movie, I thought it was terrible. I told my wife that I couldn't do this movie, that it would be the end of my career.
The weirdest request I got was for a picture of me naked with nothing on but my cowboy boots. Needless to say, she went home empty-handed. I have, however, on several occasions, strolled around my apartment in nothing but my cowboy boots. There was just no one there to take pictures.
We're very sure to stay in character, to experience the Sharknado as though it was real. That's what acting is.
I would love any opportunity to work with my former castmates again.
I love coming to Las Vegas. I've always loved it and always had a good time.
I feel blessed: having a family is something that I've always wanted. Having a second child is the realization of a dream come true.
In this business, it's important: if you consider yourself a journeyman actor like I do, you need to stay topical. So I'm always looking for projects that are challenging, that put me in a light that's different from anything I've ever done before.
I think my perspective on my age is really irrelevant.
