Alexis Denisof: I'd Lay Down My Life For Joss: http://www.etonline.com/movies/134751_Alexis_Denisof_Much_Ado_About_No thing_Interview/index.html (6/4/13)

My two personal favorite excerpts:

ETonline: It was also so wonderful seeing you and Amy reprising your lovers roles. What was it like to reunite on-screen with her?
Denisof: It was such a joy. Amy and Joss and I have a special chemistry when we work together. When the three of us are in a room rehearsing, something magical takes place. I'm so lucky to be working with them and it's a special pleasure to work on any material with those two. And, of course, for the fans of Wesley & Fred's relationship, this movie is a special treat because we get a happy ending [laughs]. I mean, I'm a fan of the blue hair, but it was a sweet byproduct. And incidentally, my first introduction to Amy was in the context of a Shakespeare scene.

ETonline: How so?
Denisof: Joss wrote an audition scene, in iambic pentameter, for Amy's network screentest, which Amy, J. August and I shot the first day I ever met her (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcoy8b79Jic). It was based loosely on the characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream, where J. August and myself fought over the affections of this new character, which ended up becoming a major storyline in the series. Although at that time, we did it in the Elizabethan poetry of Joss Whedon. So it's a nice full-circle that the three of us have come back to Shakespeare.
