Jeff Ricketts gave a great Reddit interview about his work… and he also shared some thoughts about his productions with monochrom.
I’m Jeff Ricketts, and I’m very, very happy and honoured to be here
answering your questions and interacting with you all! Before we get
started, here’s a little information about myself for those of you that
don’t know my work away from “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and “Angel”…I’m an American League-trained theatre, film, and television actor.
I’ve performed in over 100 plays in New York, International theatre,
Shakespeare festivals, and regional theatre. While in New York, I played
the title role of Richard Schechner’s critically acclaimed production
of FaustGastronome.As far as I’m aware, I’m one of only six actors to appear in “Buffy
The Vampire Slayer”, “Angel”, and “Firefly”. I played Weatherby of the
Watcher’s Council in Buffy’s “This Year’s Girl” and “Who Are You?”, as
well as playing the same character in Angel’s “Sanctuary”. I also played
the Spider Demon in Angel’s “Sacrifice”, and played one of the two
‘Hands of Blue’ in Firefly’s “The Train Job” and “Ariel”. In addition to
my roles on Joss Whedon’s shows, I’ve also appeared in CSI, 24,
Charmed, Star Trek: Enterprise, Without A Trace, The Guardian, Philly,
The Drew Carey Show, and NYPD Blue.These days I live in Austria. My work in Austria includes playing the
Captain of the International Space Station in Monochrom’s ISS. It’s an
improvised sitcom that was filmed in front of a live audience. You can
watch most of it for free here – http://www.monochrom.at/iss/
. My film credits include The Strange Case Of Wilhelm Reich, Holes,
Clockstoppers, and Amber Benson’s “Chance” (along with Whedonverse
alumni Amber Benson, James Marsters, and Andy Hallett). I’ve recently
wrapped shooting on “Good Morning Kabul”, directed by Barbara Eder.
Finally, I am about to appear in Monochrom’s film “Die Gstettensaga: The
Rise Of Echsenfriedl”, where I will play the leader of the Barbarians.
The film will premiere on ORF III in March of this year.
