PhD students and graduates: If you have/had an external examiner on your committee, can you talk about how you choose them, approached them, interacted with them, what role they played relative to other members of your committee, etc?

I'm getting ahead of myself, but wanted to give it some thought earlier rather than later. I know my advisor will help me with the process when I get to this stage, but I'd like to think ahead a bit and find out what other peoples experiences were.
