LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - On the syndicated sci-fi/action drama "Mutant X," Victor Webster plays Brennan Mulwray, a street-smart 'new mutant' who can manipulate electricity. With his dark good looks and martial-arts-trained physique, Webster's been known to generate some sparks of his own.
He takes a break from filming in Toronto to tell fans what they most want to know about stunts, tattoos, hobbies and what he hopes the future holds.
Question from gabe945: What is you favorite episode of "Mutant X"?
Victor Webster: So far, I'd have to say my favorite one is "Nothing To Fear."
Question from mutantwannabe: What was the scariest or most difficult stunt you did on "Mutant X"?
Victor Webster: It was definitely when I jumped from a platform 50 feet in the air and landed on a 6-inch wide stand while doing a full 360 degree spin. It was during last season's episode "Lazarus Syndrome."
Question for callie3640: What do you like best/least about working in Toronto?
Victor Webster: Toronto is very ethnically diverse; they have great food and beautiful architecture. My least favorite thing by far is the cold weather.
Question from mutantwannabe: What is that tattoo on your arm mean?
Victor Webster: The tattoo on my arm is a dragon -- which to me symbolizes strength, wisdom, mystery and power.
Question from Rebecca: In what ways are you most like Brennan? In what ways are you most different?
Victor Webster: I guess I am similar to Brennan because I can be kind of a loner. I certainly enjoy people, but don't always need someone around in order to be happy. Brennan and I also have similar pasts. We are both strong and caring, but the main difference is that I, Victor, can't shoot electricity from my hands.
Question from coolsuzy: What other jobs have you had?
Victor Webster: I have done so many different jobs. I've sold women's shoes, worked in construction, been a pizza delivery guy, a grocery bagger, a martial arts instructor, a stockbroker. I owned an import/export company for a while, and the list goes on.
Question from starforhire: Did you ever get discouraged in your acting career and think about quitting? What has kept you going?
Victor Webster: No. I gave myself a 10-year-plan that I am sticking to. Like most actors, I knew I would struggle financially and probably have to do other things in order to feed myself, but I continued to follow my dream. I am constantly striving to learn and work towards taking my skills and talent to the next level.
Question from teenangst: Do you think you'd like Brennan if you were to meet him on the street?
Victor Webster: On the street? Doubt it. Maybe if we met through a mutual friend. Brennan has a bit of an attitude that the Victor attitude wouldn't jive with.
Question from kyotocalling: What's the weirdest fan letter you ever got?
Victor Webster: A marriage proposal from a man. The envelope also included naked photos of him.
>Question from Kyle: Do you want to do anything else in entertainment besides acting?
Victor Webster: I definitely want to give directing a shot, then producing and eventually -- when I am ready -- singing.
Question from romyandme: What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?
Victor Webster: Sleep, which I don't do nearly enough of. I also love taking my dogs to the park and watching them play.
Question from fanboyfloyd: Do you ever read comics?
Victor Webster: All the time. They're great bathroom reading.
Question from Christina: To whom are you closest in the cast?
Victor Webster: I am close with everyone in the cast, but in different ways. If I had to choose one person, I'd say Victoria [Pratt], but that's partially because we work together so much.
Question from daisydani: What other projects are you working on?
Victor Webster: Right now, I spend all my time doing "Mutant X." But I am exploring and considering a few possibilities for my hiatus. Details to follow ... .
* Zap2it also sent fan questions to Victor's co-star Victoria Pratt. We haven't received her answers yet, but as soon as we do we'll post 'em.
