“Return to the Blue Lagoon” director William A. Now is busy with “Stephen King’s Sleepwalker,” in which he also stars. Then, about three years ago, he got his first TV role-"two lines” on the Michael Landon series “Highway to Heaven"-and has since appeared on other TV series and movies.Īfter completing “Return to the Blue Lagoon,” he shot “December,” a film due out this winter about five boys preparing to go off to duty in World War II. During that time, he also studied physical therapy at Orange Coast College for a year. The craft quickly became a passion, and in 1987, Krause enrolled in the Actor’s Workshop Laguna, a private school in Laguna Hills, where he stayed for four years. It was there he started acting, in a drama class that he figured would be “an easy credit.”
Krause has been physically active much of his life, so it wasn’t much of a hardship, he said.īorn in Los Angeles and raised in El Toro, he plays basketball, baseball, football and tennis, he skis (water and snow), swims, skateboards and motorcycles, and, had he not contracted pneumonia, would have been captain of the soccer team in high school. Before leaving for Fiji, Krause worked out daily with a personal trainer, running and lifting weights and “getting more lean,” to achieve that shipwrecked look, he said. Preparing physically for the film required a little more effort. It was really cool.”Īs for portraying Richard and Lilly’s teen-age, first-time relationship, Krause said that “it just created its own romance.” He fell in love with Jovovich, but said it was on screen only, despite her piercingly clear blue eyes and scenes that push the edge of the film’s PG-13 envelope. The script called for Krause to handle the leggy creatures, so the older man “showed me these spiders, big ones, with yellow backs,” while explaining the purpose they serve in nature and that “were good for you. In fact, a church pastor on the island helped the El Toro High School grad conquer his arachnophobia during last summer’s three-month shoot in the South Pacific.
