Lee Pace talks to New Zealand Viewers
Here’s an interview of Lee Pace in the New Zealand Herald. Apparently, Pushing Daisies will begin airing in that part of the world and he’s over there promoting the show, as well as in the neighboring country of Australia.
I heard you’re a little worried that no one knows about the show, so I’m here to assure you that it’s on in New Zealand and had a big season premiere …
Oh good! I was a little bit concerned because they’re not promoting it here [in Sydney] yet. It hasn’t started but then I heard that it’s on tomorrow night and I was like “Oh God, no one’s going to know that it’s on”. It’s a weird show. You’ve got to get people to watch it. Is it on at a good time in New Zealand?
Yep, it’s on Monday nights, which is good because everyone stays in and watches TV.
Oh, okay, good. So it’s on a big channel at a good time? Good, I’m very happy about that.

Have you ever made a pie in real life?
I had to learn to make pies for the show. It’s much more difficult than you would think. But in America we only really make pies out of fruit or custard stuff. Y’all make pies out of anything! Rabbit, fish … It wouldn’t really work for Ned if we were bringing fish pies back to life.
I have to ask, the chemistry between you and Anna Friel (Chuck) is incredible. Are you friends off-screen?
Good, good, good friends. Anna’s really good for me. I’m a lot like Ned, I just want to hole up in my house with my dog and hike and have a very reclusive life.
Anna’s really outgoing and she has a lot of friends so she gets me out doing stuff. We connected the minute we met. We shot the pilot and then I shot a movie in London where she lives. This is our first break from each other actually.
