Colin Ferguson answers questions and talks about the first ever Eureka holiday special on Tuesday, December 7 on Syfy.

You’ve done both acting and directing. What’s next for you? Anything else that you want to try out?
Colin Ferguson: I don’t know. I’d love to – no, I’d love to keep doing what I’m doing. I’m really enjoying the combination of it. I’m really enjoying being on both sides of the camera and hopefully I can continue to be on both sides of the camera.
I find that with directing you get in earlier, you can protect the story longer, get into more conversations about it and I find that really rewarding. So I’m actually really excited where things are and I hope it sort of stays as it is for a bit.
Tell us a bit about the Eureka holiday special.
Colin Ferguson: Yes, actually just on the previous question I got to say I’d like to start a show. That’s something that I’d like to do. I have a bunch of meetings and ideas and have been sort of talking about that, so I guess that’s new.
That’d be interesting to see something from the ground up. So I guess that’s what’s on the plate for me with that. As far as the Christmas episode goes it’s really, really fun.
People have said who have seen it – I haven’t seen the finished – with all the special effects in it. They say it’s the funniest episode we’ve done. It’s basically getting into the science of Christmas.
If there are reindeers who fly – if there are reindeers that can fly how did it happen? If there’s a sleigh that could fly how would it happen? How do you get around the world? It’s Eureka sort of attacking Christmas in a really fun way and it has a great ending to it.
How did you get started in the industry?
