Host: From March 1995 to Febuary 2000,a show called Sliders ran on Fox and Scifi. By the series end, 7 actors had made a stint as the main characters. Those 7 actors had a ride that they would never forgot....Sliders....The untold story!
Hear about the brutal cast changes:
JRD: From the moment I met David Peckinpah, I knew he was going to destroy the show's integrity. I wanted out before that happened.
Sabrina: I knew that they were going to make Kari's character bigger than mine. I didn't care because I loved playing Wade. But after doing Stoker I realized that Peck wanted my character to become a slut too.
Jerry: Scifi didn't want me to be executive producer. I don't get why. Sure,
I'm 25 years old and haven't had any executive producing experience, but why
not? I am a beloved character! Even a year after I
left Sliders, people were still begging me to come back!
Charlie: Well, my big daddy-er, bro, told me that Scifi didn't want him
anymore. And there's no way I would stay on a T.V. where my Jerry wasn't
welcome.
Hear about the scandals that faced the s5 cast! Cleavant: I overheard David and his Nazi friend talking about offing Bill
Dial just days before the production of The Seer wrapped up. Tembi: Robbie kept hitting on me. I kept saying no, but he didn't seem to get
it. After Sliders wrapped up, he found my usual address and the stalking
began. It lasted for a year and I'm still not over it, You do realize that
he must stay at least 1,000 feet away from me, right?
Robert: The whole stalking ordeal was entirely exaggerated. I all would
do was follow her around, go through her personal things, threaten those jerks
who tried to take my Tembi away, call her only about 50 times a day, leave her
notes scrawled with my blood to how how much I loved her, and leave her
mutilated dolls to show what would happen to me and her if we don't fulfill fate
and marry each other. We will get married, but Tembi just doesn't know it yet.
Kari: I probably had the tamest ride on Sliders. Nothing really
happened to me. Contrary to popular belief, I did NOT sleep with David Peckinpah.
I DID let him see me in a wet T-shirt, but that's nothing compared to what Jerry
and Charlie did to get Charlie on the show. Oops,did I say that out loud?
Hear about what the actors thought on the others:
Sabrina: For a long time there were rumors that Jerry had been replaced by an
evil double after s2. I,mean LOOK at him.
JRD: The only cast and crew members that were sorry to see me leave were
Sabrina and Cleavant. Jerry actually packed up my dressing room for me!
Jerry: The other actors were okay. Not as good as me, of course, but fine.
Kari: Jerry said in interviews that he hit on me all the time, but he never did! He
didn't even drool at my ample chest! What was going on there? I'm stacked!
Cleavant: Jerry and Charlie seemed kinda weird. Gorgeous girls were throwing
themselves at them, but they always turned them down! That seems just to bizarre
to me.
Charlie: They were all okay. Not as hot as Jerry, but okay.
Tembi:I loved Cle. He seemed like a father to me. Kari was such a blast
to hang around! And Rob, well, you saw what happened on the news.
Robert: There were other actors than my Tembi?
Hear about the secrets and lies involved with the cast!
Sabrina: I first met Charlie when he did Dragonslide. Even then I could
tell there was something going on between him and a certain cast member. I can't
say who. I'm not an idiot. I don't want a lawsuit.
Clevant: It turned out that Jerry was making much more than he should
have gotten during s2-4.And he wasn't getting it for his acting talent.
JRD: I saw Jerry put on a tutu and twirl around like he was some
ballerina once. He didn't know that I saw him. No wonder he did that Oddville
interview.
Sabrina: When we would practice the kissing scene from Last Days, I swear to
god I heard Jerry murmur Chu-er, someone's name. And I also admit that the story
where Kari taunted me to the point where I was crying in my trailer is false. I
made that up to make Kari look bad. Also, I was high as kite on cocaine during
the filming of s1. I was in rehab during the winter of 1995 and summer of
1997.I've been clean since New Year's Eve,1998.
Kari: SABRINA was the one who taunted ME. I think she was jealous about how I
suddenly became the center of attention. Also, during the filming for the 4th season, I
discovered that Charlie was bulimic. No matter what bullsh*t he tells you, THAT
is why he wasn't able to return for the 5th season.
Tembi: The first time I realized something was up with Robbie was when I
caught him trying to steal my panties.
Robert: Tembi is just soo stubborn. She lies to me all the time. She says ridicules
things like about how she doesn't want to be together forever and how we're not
soulmates. What a kidder!
Hear about their future goals:
Sabrina: I AM so glad that I left Sliders.I loved it while it lasted, but it
really wasn't going to do that much for me. Now I am on a major network show
that is both a critical and rating success and my character is well liked.
Whlie that aging tramp is only doing bad commercials! Hopefully I will have a
successful movie career, but if not being a small screen star is just fine by
me.
JRD: I hope to become a opera singer.
Jerry: I plan on having a long and rewarding career. I also want to be able
to stay off steriods. My face has gotten too damn red.
Kari: Well, I'm kinda putting off acting to pursue my singing career.
Shiny's doing so-so, and I want to get out a new album by the fall of '04.
Charlie: I want get married to Jer-ouch! That hurt brother!
Tembi: I don't give a f*ck about becoming a big star anymore. Ever since the
whole Robbie ordeal, I only care about making sure that I don't become his victim. I
dug a bit into his history, and I found out that he had SIX ex-girlfriends that disappeared
in '84,'87,'89,'92,'94,and '96. Robert: Besides getting married with my Tembi and having 2.5 kids, I hope to
star in a whole string of Patty Duke T.V. movies!
