PASADENA, Calif. – The last thing Stephen Lang wants is to get recognized as the bad guy from Avatar. Really. Just ask him.
"I take the subway all the time, and when I go on, the first thing I do is I say, 'Don't everybody get up. It's me. It's Colonel Quaritch from Avatar. But keep your seats,' you know, because I really don't want to be recognized by people," Lang said. "I don't want to create a scene."
The thing is, Lang also is playing the antagonist - Commander Nathaniel Taylor - in the new sci-fi/time-travel/prehistoric adventure series Terra Nova, which is co-executive produced by Steven Spielberg and debuts May 23 on Fox.
"What would make you think I'm the antagonist?" Lang said in a menacing voice, cracking up reporters at the Television Critics Association tour.
"People do come up to me a lot of times and say, 'I really, really hate you.' And they mean it in the nicest possible way, usually.
"You know, (Avatar) had a great impact. Did it figure in this role? I think everything figures. Everything leads to the next thing."
