"Adam Beach has plenty of things to be happy about these days. He got to work with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in last summer's blockbuster "Cowboys & Aliens." He enjoyed a stint as a popular guest star on "Combat Hospital." And now he's starring in "Arctic Air," a show that he's passionate about and also happened to lead him to his current girlfriend, co-star Leah Gibson.

We spoke with Beach from his Vancouver base (where he was joking around with his gal Leah -- awwww) to learn more about what to expect from this unique new show.

Tell us a bit about Bobby...

He's successful, he desires to come back home. He speaks his language (Dene). Everybody likes him. As an actor I'm always being pushed to the limits, whether it's flying a plane, rescuing someone, rescuing the business, trying to flirt with the ladies. There's a whole process to Bobby's madness.

What's your favourite part about 'Arctic Air'?

My favourite part is I met Leah Gibson, who's now my girlfriend. She plays Candi on the show. [Laughs] I'm laughing at her, she's right in front of me!"
