Actor Seth Green has his eye on space


Despite being one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood, Seth Green still finds time to stay current on NASA missions and dreams of going into space one day. With three TV shows currently on the air – Dads, Robot Chicken and Family Guy – he’s only a few clicks of a remote away from your living room.

Seth recently took a few moments from his busy schedule to answer some light-hearted questions.

Q: Marvel or DC comics?

Seth: I’m a hard split. Spider-Man and Batman are my favorites.

Q: Aliens or robots?

Seth: Robots.

Q: Superheroes or supervillians?

Seth: I’ll try to be compassionate to where the villain is coming from, but you should only use your powers for good.

Q: Hotter Star Trek character: Orion slave girl or the Borg’s 7 of 9?

Seth: 7 of 9. I’d be an excellent ambassador in human, Borg relations.

Q: More fun to build things, or to destroy them?

Seth: Build. But blow stuff up whenever you get the chance.

Q: Favorite astronaut, scientist, engineer or inventor?

Seth: I’m kind of on an Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil, Dean Kamen kick these days.
