Ben 10: Alien Force is the sequel to the popular Cartoon Network Ben 10. Five years have passed since Ben Tennyson had saved the world from the villainous Vilgax and everything is going great. Free from the Omnitrix, an alien watch that transforms him into a alien of his choice for 10 minutes, he lives his life as a normal teenager and is finally at peace. However, with the threat of an alien invasion upon Earth, Ben is forced once again to don the Omnitrix again to defend Earth but not without help. His cousin Gwen and former baddie Kevin join him on his mission and the trio set out to save Earth in the next chapter in the Ben 10 series.

Now, I believe in the personal philosophy “˜If you don’t ask, you don’t get.’ So as a shot in the dark, I thought I would contact a certain somebody. After reminding myself of my youth and the things that were most influential to me, one of those was, bear with me, none other than the Bill & Ted movies. My mother downright refused me to tear a tee-shirt in half, to emulate Bill S. Preston, Esq. At least I could wear the cap backwards. Now enough on those movies. (Even though the new 3 Disc Boxset Bill & Ted’s Most Excellent Collection is out now.)

I say this because the person I wanted to question [bother] was none other than Mr. Alex Winter!

Checking out his personal Web site alexwinter.com will tell you that this man has been busy. Very busy. And the following interview will tell all”¦

Geeks of Doom: Normally, I can think of pertinent and usually witty questions but I’m struggling here because I am now seemingly writing questions that you’ve probably answered a thousand times before, so please indulge me! Typical fanboy glee can take over somewhat! Now, this will a surprise for the Geeks Of Doom, especially with me coming from the UK and their office being in New York, but I thank you for your time [patience] to answer these questions”¦so how are you?

Alex Winter: Very well indeed, thanks.

GoD: You spend time between your two homes in the U.S. and London, which country do you prefer? The UK isn’t exactly the best place for sun, sea and sand”¦

AW: I was born in the UK, raised in the U.S. I shoot a lot in London and love the town. It’s my second home.

GoD: Since working in TV and Film, and now behind the camera, which would you say was the most satisfying for you?
