"Ian Ziering has admitted that he almost turned down the starring role in Sharknado. The disaster move created a buzz on social media when it premiered earlier this month, leading Syfy to commission a sequel to air next year.  Ziering has admitted to Access Hollywood Live that he had doubts about taking the film&amp;#039;s lead role of Finley &amp;#039;Fin&amp;#039; Shepherd. &amp;quot;When I first read the script, there were a lot of holes in it,&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;There was a lot of trepidation in even doing this, because I wasn&amp;#039;t sure it was going to be a success.&amp;quot; Ziering went on to say: &amp;quot;There were just so many holes in the script, I mean, how were they going to do this? My manager assured me there were going to be 300-plus visual effects in this movie and I said, &amp;#039;Oh. Okay&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;   Ziering also admitted that he was slightly apprehensive about working with Tara Reid, who played Fin&amp;#039;s estranged wife April. &amp;quot;It was an 18-day shoot, it was miserable, we were soaking wet the whole time, it was cold,&amp;quot; he said of the film&amp;#039;s production.  &amp;quot;We came in, did our work, she was honestly very sweet, prepared, ready to do her stuff and did a great job. I&amp;#039;ve gotta hand it to her - she was professional.&amp;quot; Sharknado will be premiering in the UK August 7 on Syfy.
