Kai Owen and Gareth David-Lloyd are headed to Chicago this weekend for Wizard World Chicago Comic Con.
Owen dishes Rhys’ future and behind-the-scenes fun in a new interview.

In an early episode everyone piled into Jack’s jeep and sped around on the beach trying to escape the helicopter. Was that as much fun to film as it was to watch?
My Lord, it was. We were really there in the back of that jeep. There were a couple times when stunt drivers were in there, but when you see the close-ups of us and the chopper is literally … away from us it was amazing. It was so much fun. But it was freezing cold on that beach, a beautiful beach in South Wales. But it was in February of this year and it was freezing, freezing. Poor Mekhi Phifer, who is used to the L.A. sunshine, freezing his nuts off in the back of that jeep. It was so cold.

But when you got John driving the jeep, you’ve got no time for complaints or anything, he keeps you all going, laughing and joking. I wish I could repeat some of the things he said, but I can’t. [Laughs.] John-gasms basically is all I can say. John-gasms.

You did shoot in the U.S. too. Was that a different experience for you?

Oh it was amazing. Warner Brothers, it was like a dream come true. We were filming on a [sound]stage that was constructed in 1935, that “Casablanca” was shot on. It was where “Two and a Half Men” had been shot–obviously it was shut down at the time–and where “E.R.” stage that was home to Mekhi for eight years. We saw the “Friends” stage; it was like a dream come true. We were still making “Torchwood,” but we were filming in Hollywood. It was bizarre. It’s like a big dream now. It was amazing.

It seems like Owen was a little star struck coming to the US. Would you feel the same if you met him or another cast member?
