7. Cast as Liz human/son of the local Sheriff BF Kyle Valenti, Weschler admitted to being a little too "weird" on the WB set in Roswell's first days of filming while trying to figure out the character. "Remember how f--king weird I was? Remember?" he said at the reunion panel in 2014."I would try to entertain myself—I would find moments to do weird s--t, or give it a slightly weird read. I look back on this time so fondly, because I loved not knowing any better."
8. While it was the "highest testing pilot ever made at 20th Century Fox Television" at the time, per Nutter, Roswell never developed a massive audience. But it was one of the first shows to truly develop a cult following online, a devoted and passionate fanbase that saved it from cancellation not once but twice by sending 6,000 Tabasco bottles to the WB to get the show picked up for a second season and then 12,000 to UPN to save the show after it was canceled after season two.
''I will say it made a difference,'' Dean Valentine, chief executive of UPN at the time, told The New York Times, of the decision to air a third season. ''You really have to sit down and think about a person who gets up in the morning, who has many, many things to do, and who took part of their day to go to the grocery store and buy a bottle of hot sauce to send to some executive in L.A.''
