As a Canadian, were you surprised that the U.S. elected a black president?
Now that it’s happened, it almost feels like…like it’s what’s supposed to be, which is kind of crazy. When it was confirmed that Barack Obama was going to be the next president, I got very emotional—and I can’t even vote! If you know anything about American history, you know what a huge step this has been for the country. I’m very proud of the U.S. for making some big changes.

If you knew you had 24 hours to live, what would you do?
I’d probably just spend it with family…maybe go have a Big Mac. [Laughs.]

There are some great Kiefer Sutherland drunk stories out there. You two ever share any memorable drinking sessions?
Um…I have, but I wouldn’t tell you. [Laughs.] When it comes to 24, I know these people’s families. He’s a lot of fun to hang out with, I’ll tell you that.

Who has hotter groupies: Kiefer or your The Six Wives of Henry Lefay co-star Tim Allen?
Oh my God! [Laughs.] I don’t know what kind of groupies they get.

Women didn’t show up to the set for them?
No! I think they’re both in a place where they’ve been there, done that, but back in the day, there’s no telling what kind of groupies [they got]. It’d be kind of a tie, I’d have to say.

Does being a child star in Canada come with as much baggage as it does in the States?
Not really. Canada has been really supportive, and I think the main comment that I get is, “We’re really proud that you went to L.A. and you made it,” and it’s just always been really positive. They don’t look at me as this sort of awkward child star. They’ve come along for the ride and been really respectful.

Is there a paparazzi problem there?
Gossip magazines are definitely being sold, and in big numbers, but I think I have more of a private life [in Canada] than I do in L.A., and it’s nice. But I think it’s how you conduct yourself, too. I mean, there are a lot of celebrities in the gossip magazines that draw a lot of attention to themselves. I try to stay busy with work as much as I can and really keep quiet when I’m not.
