Shiri Quotes:
“A very gracious gentleman. We have become very good friends and I really admire him. He really holds my hand through a lot of this stuff. He’s a very down-to-Earth and great guy.”

"My favorite Jason Behr moment was the first time we met in Jason Katims office. He was wearing a necklace with a bear claw on it and I thought he had a really easy, natural way about him. We got along great and he really made my last audition an easy one."

"They saw chemistry between Jason and me. Thereafter, when I tested for the network people, I had to read with Jason and when I tested for the studio people, I had to read with Jason. It was pretty cool."

Given the number of intimate scenes between Appleby and Behr in the first season, it's a good thing the two young actors enjoy working together. "Jason is a really wonderful person to work with, very professional and prepared," Appleby notes. "We've become really good friends. Of course, it can be hard, because we spend so many hours a day playing this intense couple. But we're able to communicate and figure it all out. I like working with him because he's there for me. When we do scenes that are uncomfortable, like scenes where we're making out, Jason makes it very comfortable to shoot. I feel lucky to be working with him every day. But no matter who you're working with, it's difficult to do that kind of stuff because it's so personal. I may be playing a character, someone who is not me, but that is still my body, you know? That's my mouth he's kissing! Jason is wonderful. He'll say, 'Is this comfortable for you? Do you want me to put my hand somewhere else?' And I don't feel uncomfortable saying certain things. So I think we're both lucky."

Jason Quotes:
Unlike some actors who insist they can play a convincing love scene with someone they hate, Behr, who claims to have a natural rapport with Appleby, feels a friendly chemistry is essential. "I mean, there's only so far that the acting can take you if you're looking into someone's eyes and you don't want to be in their presence," he says.

Q: This season you had some heavy make-out scenes with your co-star, Shiri Appleby. What are those like to shoot?
A: "It's always an odd thing, but Shiri and I have gotten to know each other so well over the last nine months that there's nothing uncomfortable about it." Antarians.com: Actors > Interviews > Jason Behr

Does one know how JB/SA kept their amazing Chemistry going on screen even though they're just friends?

well,that's true.they had such a real & unique chemistry.But the truth is that I think their chemistry was more evident during S1,when it was said they dated each-other.During the 2nd season,I kinda couldn't see the light in their eyes.And I understood sth between them happened.During the 3rd season,they fitted perfectly again,but the chemistry of the 1st season,was amazingly real.I could see the love pouring out everywhere

ILikeShinyObjects · 01-16-2008, 09:21 PM

I had assumed that the two never dated, because it never was confirmed and Shiri had a boyfriend on set a lot. However I remember reading somewhere that they decided that for the good of their characters the wouldn't date because if it were to end badly in real life, they wouldn't want it to carry over onto the show.

As for the title Mir,

I thought too that they never dated. That's why this sucks. We don't know what would have happen if they would have dated. Maybe they would still be together if they just gave in for the temptation. Still, I saw the light during season 2, too. It just was more often mixed with sadness, when Liz and Max fought. In season 3, I was so happy that the looks were back....

**Hell on Heels** · 01-17-2008, 08:29 AM

We'll never know if anything actually happened between them. I've heard tons of conflicting stories. I think half of them were made up because there isn't any real source to them but I still love them none the less!

Pempees · 01-17-2008, 08:36 AM

I once heard a rumor that somewhere during the season 2, Jason and Shiri had a huge fight, and in the end of it Jason would have hit Shiri. I just laughed when I heard it.

Jason isn't a guy who hits a woman, and I think it would have been big thing if it would have happened.
