Girlfriend: How did you actually get the role of Liz?
Shiri: I actually auditioned for all three of the girl parts numerous times (laughs).
GF: So is it better playing an alien or a human?
Shiri: Oh, yeah, definitely a human.
GF: Do you believe in aliens?
Shiri: I really don't know. I get asked that a lot, and I'm not saying I do or don't believe. I guess anything is possible.
GF: What do you like most about the show?
Shiri: The thing that really drew me was the writing. It really spoke to me and was written in such a realistic way, so for people my age it's really easy to understand.
GF: How is Roswell to work on?
Shiri: I got really lucky in working with a really good group of talented young people, so we're able to work together and bounce ideas off each other.
GF: Do you have a lot of input into changing things?
Shiri: Oh yeah. If I don't like the way something is written, I'll talk about it with Jason and then see if we can change things. Thankfully the creators are really open to what we have to add.
GF: How is Jason (Behr) to work with?
Shiri: He's great, a real professional and a really nice guy. We have a great time together.
GF: What do you do with downtime on the set?
Shiri: I just took up photography and I love it. I've been taking pictures of everyone, it's so much fun. I used to play Gameboy a lot, but you have to be careful that you don't get addicted.
GF: What's your favourite meal?
Shiri: I loove a pasta dish called Telephono- it's long pasta strips with a cheesy creamy sauce and a little bit of tomato- it's really quite good.
GF: Shiri is a great name, where is it from?
Shiri: It's an Israeli name and I like it a lot- thanks.
