When you're watching yourself in a movie or television episode, do you get uncomfortable? (Anne)
"Yes, if my work is sub-par and I catch myself trying too hard rather than being truthful. It's truly embarrassing when it happens." (Added 4/20/04)

What do you think is the best job in film making-besides acting- and why? (Anne)
"Writing. Despite writers' complaints, writing is the creative seed of everything." (Added 4/24/04)

In your years of acting...what is the strangest request you've received from a fan? (Travelingdog)
The person asked me to pick my nose for a photo on her "Nosepicker" website. (Added 4/25/04)

If you could play any Shakespeare character, who would it be? (Kitsa)
"Iachimo in CYMBELINE" (Added 5/9/04)

Film and Music stars are very influential. With the current political atmosphere and given free speech in this country, what is your take on the outspokenness of some actors/singers in Hollywood? (Travelingdog)
“These are critical times and everyone should be discussing these issues. I'm all for anything that engenders discussion and causes people to think for themselves.” (Added 5/11/04)

When you performed in The King Stag, was it difficult to act in and around Julie Taymor’s elaborate mask’s and costumes? Can you tell us anything about the experience? (Kitsa)
“There is a certain freedom to surrendering oneself to the personality and temperament of the mask -- they inform the actor and tell the actor how they want to be played. Early on, we worked in front of a mirror to learn more about these "characters." Julie Taymor's costumes were works of art--beautiful, hand-painted silks and exceptional handworked masks. I'd say for the most part that the actors are more conscious of contributing to the beauty of the entire spectacle. To that end, the masks and costumes aren't an encumberance, they ARE the spectacle The actor strives to keep out of the way more than anything else. Working on a Julie Taymor show is a humbling, joyful experience.” (Added 5/12/04)

In your opinion are most actors introverts or extroverts? (Travelingdog)
“Both. And it probably leads to differences when developing a character: some actors approach a role internally, going deep within themselves to find the character--others find the character through exterior inspirations (clothes, hair, accents, make-up, etc.), and others combine both to some degree.” (Added 5/13/04)

I really enjoy listening to the quality of your vocal delivery and the timber of your voice when you are giving a performance. I am certain that you must have an equally impressive singing voice. Where and when might one have a chance to hear you sing? (Spyder)
“How gracious you are -- I'm not sure if my voice makes the transition to singing, and I suspect that I owe more to the sound mixers than I know for the timbre and vocal quality of the spoken voice.” (Added 5/17/04)

What inspires you to go out, deal with the Hollywood grind, etc. everyday? What is it that drives you to act/entertain? (Trish)
"I love stories and I enjoy collaborating with others in bringing those stories to life. I've trained for years as an actor. I'm fortunate that occasionally my efforts meet with success. It's in anticipation of those moments -- those seconds really -- when it all comes together and I have the opportunity to step in front of the camera or onstage, that makes the Hollywood grind bearable. It's the sickness of a competitive swimmer who swims thousands and thousands of yards, month after month, in order to perfect two laps across the pool." (Added 2/5/04)

Do you prefer acting on stage or film? (Jean)
"I prefer sharing a story with a live audience in a stage setting, and I like the fact that film work affords one the opportunity to "improve" and then "lock" a performance (although so much of this has to do with the contributions of everyone else -- sound, lights, editing). So ultimately, a well-written half-hour comedy combines both." (Added 1/28/04)

When you are filming a TV guest appearance, how long do you spend on the set? More than one day? (Amane)
"It varies. Anywhere from one day to the entire week of production." (Added 1/29/04)

This seems to be the decade of the Remake. So far no one has dared to remake two of my favorites, Grapes of Wrath and A Place In The Sun (AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY), although I believe both have been adapted for the stage. Timely when they appeared, the stories are now period pieces, more history than experience. Yet, the stories are also represent an exclusively American experience, as movies like THE PIANO represent an exclusively European experience. It is something that should not be lost. If asked to produce or direct a film version of either story, how would you approach the project? (Iona)
"The challenge is that both pieces have already captured that American experience on film in an exceptional fashion. How does one improve upon that? "A Place in the Sun" might be updated more readily than "Grapes of Wrath" -- although I'm sure after Gary Sinese and Steppenwolf did "Grapes of Wrath" there was some discussion of a film version (like "Of Mice and Men"). Ultimately, one would probably look at what aspect of the story is most relevant to an audience today (think of how interpretations of Shakespeare change with the times) that may not have received its due in the earlier films. Perhaps a better approach would be to write an original story about the American experience today and how it's different/similar to the earlier period." (Added 1/21/04)

What is the most important thing about acting that they did not -or could not- teach you in acting school? (Gloria)
" Probably the business aspect of an acting career" (Added 01/08/04).

What is the most important thing about acting that they *did* teach you in acting school? (Gloria)
" ART taught that there is no single true "method" to acting. A performer ultimately develops his/her own best system cobbled together from practical experience based on many methods. The emphasis is on live performance. Any live theatre experience is a more effective teaching tool than studying theory (which generally was developed from observations from live performance to begin with)." (Added 01/09/04)

Is there any role from a novel or play that you have always particularly wanted to play on stage, but never had the opportunity? (Kitsa)
"I wish I could have played the preacher in the remake of "Night of the Hunter" by Davis Grubb. That might make an interesting stage play." (Added 1/12/04)

For actors, auditioning is a must and rejection is a reality. Are there any words of wisdom on how to deal with the disappointment of not getting selected for a role? (travelingdog)
"First, the casting process is inherently unfair. The best actor doesn't always get the job and many times, the best actor doesn't even get the audition. There are so many reasons why people are cast in shows that have nothing to do with talent. But remember, while this may work against you at one point in your career, it may work for you at another stage. Since the selection process is based on so many variables, the only real control an actor has is to do his or her best work. Auditioning is a cumulative process--the more auditions one has, the better one's chances are of getting selected for a role. One has a tendency in audition situations to look at other actors up for a role and feel intimidated by the competition. Intimidation does not allow for one's best work. It's also unjustified. One should remember that with all other things being equal, a producer/director/casting person generally has a sense of what they want in terms of looks, voice, temperament--that visceral impression that an actor gives when he/she walks into a room. So to that extent, you aren't truly competing with other actors--either you match the role or you don't. Again, take solace in the fact that what works against you in one situation, will work for you in another." (Added 1/13/04)

You were great in 10-8 - I really enjoyed how you played the loving drug-dealer father. However, there was another role in that episode that I would have loved to have seen you in as well. Did you audition for the crazy body-part lover, too? (Jessica)
"Thanks. I only auditioned for 'Jared'." (Added 01/15/04)

I think you have a wonderful voice! Would you be interested in doing voice work for an animated movie, as other actors seem to enjoy that line of work sometimes? (Tricia "Kazi Wren" Harris)
"I would love to, and my kids keep me in practice with bedtime stories to read." (Added 6/25/03)

What is the number one thing you look for when deciding to do a project (stage or film)? (Tricia "Kazi Wren" Harris)
"Assuming the role's mine if I want it, I want to be able to make a distinct contribution to the project. If I'm looking at a role and I'm only coming up with a generic performance, neither I nor the production would be well-served. On a more basic level, does it look fun to do. . ." (Added 6/24/03)

Would you EVER consider doing a "reality" TV show? (Tricia "Kazi Wren" Harris)
"I'll consider anything." (Added 6/23/03)

My six-year-old sister has declared that she wants to be an actress when she grows up. Any advice for her? (Jessica)
"Yes. Avoid people who try to tell her to choose something other than acting. That old saw about "If you can choose any other profession, choose it" is the most useless piece of advice ever. Her own pursuit of acting will take care of that -- she will either find the process satisfying or she will lose interest or find it too difficult and she'll go on to something else. I would tell her that everything she studies is of indirect value to the acting process, so she should be encouraged to have many interests as she is able. She'd do well to expose herself to great literature, art and music -- repositories of humanity's soul. I personally found the benefits of learning a foreign language opened me up to other cultures and also helped me with accent work. David Mamet felt that the one technical skill an actor should invest in is voice training. He felt that all the actors we love have distinct, wonderful voices. I would recommend she involve herself in live performance -- plays in front of a paying audience -- live theater is the most practical, take-it-on-the-chin training possible (if I had a choice between taking an acting class and doing a play, I'd do the play -- it's a more intuitive way of learning, fraught with the possibility of failure, but Brian Eno pointed out that art is the only place where you can crash and burn and pick yourself up and walk away). At this point, your sister should enjoy being a kid -- "Lets' pretend" is probably teaching her more now than the best acting school will in the future." (Added 6/30/03)

Do you have any pending projects we fans could keep an eye out for? (travelingdog)
"I will let the Tsang Sisters know of any upcoming projects." (Added 7/3/03)

Have you ever acted or considered acting in a foreign made film. If so, what was the character? Thank you. (travelingdog)
"This is a goal of mine -- and I'd like to speak French or Italian." (Added 7/2/03)

Can you please tell us more about First Tango in Vegas that you wrote during college? Would you consider writing a screenplay now? (Amane)
"I wrote it over a weekend during my freshman year in college for a writing contest that awarded a small stipend and a free production. It was a one-act that one cast member said was basically an episode of "Love American Style." A small-town couple on honeymoon checks into a cheap Las Vegas hotel, and their evening is turned upside down by various interruptions. It gave me a chance to cast ten of my friends and have some laughs." (Added 7/8/03)

What "taboos" would you push past for a role? And what taboos would you have a difficult time with? If the script said it...would you appear naked in a movie? (Jennifer)
"Anything that deeply offended my wife would probably not happen." (Added 7/7/03)

Everyone loves Shakespeare, but I am a fan of The American Drama. What purely American classic would you like to interpret as actor, producer, or director? Is there a particular American writer whose works you feel are under appreciated?(Iona)
"For me Eugene O'Neill comes first in the American Drama, and "Long Day's Journey Into Night" is arguably his greatest accomplishment -- back in the day, I would have given anything to have played Edmund. I've read everything Eugene O'Neill has ever written and his body of work is astonishing considering that he pretty much experimented with everything: masks, comedy, spoken subtext, Greek tragedy, expressionism and so forth. People primarily remember him for one or two "important" plays, so I would say that the extent of O'Neill's influence and accomplishments have been largely underappreciated/forgotten." (Added 4/16/03)

What do you find so interesting about your job? (dutchgirls, Netherlands)
"Every role is a mini-education. My preparatory research leads me into many areas where I have little or no knowledge. Finding the appropriate style of the performance is always interesting. I also like to step into someone else's world: their challenges, problems, interests, relationships, etc." (Added 4/15/03)

Is there any character in history that you would like to play on stage and screen? (Asim Waheed, UK)
"James Jesus Angleton, the head of Counterintelligence with the CIA. Originally the Company golden boy, he nearly destroyed the Agency in his quest for a Soviet "mole" who was never uncovered and probably never existed to begin with. His great intellect ultimately did him in as he overthought himself into paranoia and isolation." (Added 4/14/03)

You have acted both on stage and on the small screen. Realizing both mediums are very different, which do you find more physical and demanding? Which do you prefer? (travelingdog)
"I find waiting to perform bits and pieces out of sequence in film/TV more challenging from a continuity and character arc standpoint. The perfectionist in me prefers film to the extent that there is a possibility of capturing and even enhancing the best performance. The visceralist (such a word?) in me prefers live performance where there is immediate contact/communication between the performer and audience." (Added 4/11/03)

Would you consider acting in those BMW films and who would you want to be the director? (Osnorian)
"I'd consider acting in anything fun, and I'd be privileged to act in anything by Martin Scorsese or Francis Coppola." (Added 4/9/03)

What was it like working with Peter Mensah? Any interesting stories about working with him? (Gloria "wormie" Ramos)
“Peter is an educated, classically-trained actor and he brought a very disciplined, intelligent sensibility to our work together -- it was truly a privilege to play opposite him. I knew I was going to like working with him from our first conversation together -- for whatever reason, the writers handed us a draft with approximations of William Blake rather than the actual quotes. We both recognized the poet and we both respected Blake enough to make sense of the quotes during the scenes when we shot them.” (Added 12/30/02)

In Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" would you rather play Benedick or Don John? (Jessica R.)
“Well Benedick's probably more fun, isn't he?” (Added 12/26/02)

If you *had* to pick one, would you rather act or direct?(Jessica R.)
“Act. I think . . .” (Added 12/24/02)

In terms of acting "methodology" (preparing for the role, philosophy/mindset, etc), do you approach comedic material differently than dramatic roles? (Gloria "wormie" Ramos)
“I think it's more a question of the style of the piece. There is always an effort to find in the character and in the situation what is compelling and interesting to me and hopefully to others. But a very subtle, nuanced comedy plays much like a conventional drama, and a very over-the-top melodrama has a lot in common with a conventional comedy in terms of size, focus and commitment to the situation. As a general rule of thumb I might ask what is different about the material, what is entertaining about the material, is there any humor(in dramatic material), what are the underlying serious concerns (in comedic material), how does the character I'm playing and the scene I'm playing service the story, and finally how can I best service the material. What is the tone and rhythm of the piece and can I support that in some fashion to best tell the story.” (Added 12/20/02)

Do you have anything in the works that we will be able to see in the next few months? (Aphrodite_Dream)
"I just completed a guest spot on CHARLIE LAWRENCE (a mid-season replacement starring Nathan Lane) and I'll be playing a role in a theatre piece I'm producing/directing in January 2003 called TALE OF THE SCORPION. " (Added 10/9/02)

Are you getting any movie offers because of your work on Witchblade? (Tetsuo4288)
"Eric Etebari and I are in the beginning stages of working on a film together -- so much of the Irons/Nottingham relationship went unexplored after Season One that we're putting aspects of those characters into another project that initially came Eric's way. We'll see where it goes."

Do you have any aspiration to direct? If so, what genre? (So_Cal_Susan)
"I'll be directing a comedy in January 2003. " (Added 10/16/02)

What is your most favorite aspect of acting? What is your least favorite? (So_Cal_Susan)
"Most favorite aspect? (_) The least favorite? When I don't feel I'm adequately supporting the written material. " (Added 10/15/02)

Was there for you a moment, a performance, a scene in film, television, or on stage that, after you experienced it, influenced your decision to act? If so, can you share that experience with us? (Iona)
"I left a party to grab something back at my apartment, and I happened to turn on the TV -- PBS was running the Steppenwolf Production of Sam Shepard's TRUE WEST with John Malkovich and Gary Sinise. I couldn't turn off the set -- these guys were so wild and over the top and getting away with it. I never went back to the party. " (Added 10/22/02)

What children's novel or story would you most like to work on as a live action or animated film? (Thing)
"Any of John D. Fitzgerald's GREAT BRAIN series." (Added 8/9/02)

How long did it take to find an agent? Prior to that, how did you select parts? History of representation?
"My brothers and sisters and I had acted when we were younger, so I've always been fortunate to have representation. I spent my first year unattached in Los Angeles, however, before I found an LA agent." (Added 7/15/02)

How many takes on average? (Is experience the deciding factor? Training? Actor Personalities? Character personalities?)
"Time is a big factor. If we have that luxury, we'll do as many takes as it takes to get it right. I'd say about three on average." (Added 7/12/02)

How often do you make public appearances?
"The publicists dictate that." (Added 7/11/02)

Training: Have you studied the following? Where?
Acting: "American Repertory Theater Institute at Harvard University. Also Stella Adler, Jeff Corey, and Jean Shelton (in San Francisco)." (Added 7/5/02)
Voice: "Bonnie Raphael, now at the Chapel Hill program." (Added 7/8/02)
Movement/Dance:"Amy Spencer and Richard Colton." (Added 7/9/02)
Special Talents:"Special Talents ´èý As one actor said to me, "I can learn to do anything for 30 seconds."" (Added 7/10/02)

Can you talk about your different acting roles (movies, tv, stage)? Any character trends?
"I started out playing in mostly ´èý hour comedies. I then went back East to focus on theater for a couple of years. On my return, I've moved to more dramatic, darker roles. I like accents and I've always been called on to portray Europeans. Theater gives me more of a chance to play against type. I like roles with mischief, menace, and humor ´èý but I'll play anything if given the opportunity." (Added 7/3/02)

Can you describe the make-up/prosthesis process on Angel?
"A head-and-shoulders cast was made using a quick-drying plaster. From the bust, the effects people custom-built the prosthetic pieces. On the day, the effects artist applied the mask and then used an airbrush to paint and blend. As a finishing touch, he applied a clear jelly to make the skin glisten. I also used colored contact lenses." (Added 7/2/02)

What, if any, non-acting jobs have you had?
"Lifeguard, School Teacher, Freelance Writer, Account Manager for a Medical Benefits Company, among others." (Added 7/1/02)

Have you done any commercials? Modeling? Voice-overs?
"All of the above. They were very helpful training grounds for later work." (Added 6/28/02)

What was it like appearing on Cheers, a sitcom already in it's 9th season?(Tamara)
"By this time, CHEERS had become something of a television institution. All of the characters were well established and very popular. It was a bit surreal walking onto a set that was so familiar to me from TV: the bar, the jukebox, the cigar store Indian (Tecumseh) ´èý even "Norm" was at his regular seat reading the paper as I arrived. Fortunately, I was cast at the last minute during a rewrite, so I had no time for nerves (Ted Danson was particularly kind and encouraging to me. To this day, I study his performances ´èý the ease with which he works is unparalleled). Those later seasons were a great time period for CHEERS as the show regained the #1 ratings spot." (Added 6/27/02)

Have you ever acted in a Shakespeare play? Mystery? Drama? Comedy?(Lovuian)
"Yes. Mostly the comedies ´èý my first experience was in MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM as Nick Bottom." (Added 6/25/02)

Do you like playing bad guys?(Lovuian)
"Very much. One generally gets to explore greater extremes of behavior and thought." (Added 6/24/02)

Did you always want to be an actor? Was there anything else that you considered doing? If so, what? (Misty)
"I've always wanted to act, but I also taught school, coached swimming, lifeguarded, written for union publications, various odds and ends. I'd have to say teaching has given me the most satisfaction outside of acting."

What do you look for in choosing roles? (Misty)
"I look for a way to make the role fun and challenging to play. I hope that I'm taking what the writer has written and bringing the role into sharper focus. I like parts with a good sense of mischief in them."

Excluding Kenneth Irons, what role did you get the most satisfaction out of playing? What about the role appealed to you?(Misty)
"Probably Henri on CHEERS. I was cast at the last minute for the role and it was my first big break, and it was tremendously satisfying to walk into the bar that I had seen on television all those years."

If you were going to act any Shakespeare Character which one would you choose first! I'm thinking HAMLET! But then you could surprise me! Thanks a million (Lovuian)
"I've always liked "Iachimo" in CYMBELINE -- another manipulator like Irons. Thanks for your compliment on the Irons character. Playing Kenneth Irons is a responsibility that I don't take lightly, and I hope I'm doing justice to the character as he was created by Haberlin, Silvestri, Turner and Wohl."

Are there any current television shows that you would really like to be involved with? (Jessica R.)
" Shows like "Keen Eddie" and "Lucky" have a decent blend of humor and drama in the hour format." (Added 8/31/03)

The entertainment industry currently seems to be more concerned with bigger explosions, more spectacular special effects, gorier violence, and explicit sex rather than good stories and interesting characters. What effect do you think this trend will have on the industry? (Jessica R.)
" The industry will go where the audience goes to a great extent." (Added 9/1/03)

Do you have any good luck charms or talismans, or even just a ritual that prepares you, before auditions? (Toni)
"A prayer." (Added 9/3/03)

What other film or commercial work have you done, that we may never see? (Jean)
"I did an independent project called "The Method," about a method acting school in San Francisco. I played a self-involved actor named "Tony." Perhaps it's best you never see it." (Added 9/4/03)

What was the last movie you saw in a theater and what did you think of it?(Amane)
"Seabiscuit -- it made me read Laura Hillenbrands' book the following day." (Added 9/5/03)

Have you gotten into the 'Harry Potter' phase? Read the books, seen the movies and what not? (Melissa)
"With kids, that would be a 'Yes.' We've seen the movies, read (some of) the books, listened to the tapes." (Added 9/6/03)

Can you tell us anything more about how you became involved with the “Architect of Destiny” stage production? As part of that, not knowing how the Hollywood hiring system works, do stage roles usually follow the same rules of coming through your agent, as most tv/film roles would? (Amane)
"The casting director who helped me cast my show "Tale of the Scorpion" called and asked if I'd like to read for a role in a terrific new show she was casting for a top rate theatre company here in Los Angeles. " (Added 12/4/04)

Can you tell us if the fan campaign “Alias.Witchblade – Mission: Cistaro” had any impact on your recent invitation to film a guest role on “Alias?” Did the campaign get mentioned by the casting director, and, if so, did it make the auditioning process any different? (Amane)
"The casting director was aware of the campaign and originally thought I orchestrated it. I was surprised by the sheer organization of the campaign - I wish I had those folks as publicists. It was a privilege to play a role on ALIAS, and I thank those who may have helped bring me to the attention of the casting director. " (Added 1/22/05)

You are back with the Artist’s Agency, who were your representatives when you landed the plum role of Kenneth Irons. I don’t want you to break any bridges, but since we have missed seeing you on our tv screens each week, do you feel you are now seeing more scripts and we’ll have a better opportunity to see you more regularly? (Stephanie)
"I hope so. I'll have to forward your question to my agent . . . " (Added 1/24/05)

Could you give us a brief synopsis of "The New 30" and your role in it? Will you be performing the role again any time soon? (Enid Ann)
"The New 30 is a series of original vignettes that explore Age 40. I had the chance to perform in three of them. One was about moving to the suburbs from the City, another was about meeting someone online, and the third was an improvisation called "The Bachelor at 40" (I played Dr. Nick Tuckman, plastic surgeon and eligible bachelor)." (Added 12/2/04)

When working in front of a Blue screen can you envision the actual finished product or are you surprised? (Travelingdog)
"I try to fill in as many blanks as I can so at least something is going on from my end, because post-production will certainly take care of their end." (Added 11/26/04)

What is it that attracts you to a particular part? (Kitsa)
"It's similar to what attracts you to certain people. We're attracted to different people for different reasons - their sense of humor, their complexity, a particular idiosyncracy, a wish to be like that person, etc." (Added 11/28/04)

When looking at a script, how much of the inner workings of the character comes from the writer, and how much from you? Do you want to know everything about the character, or would you rather discover it for yourself and see how it fits? (Kitsa)
"I'm no longer one for 20 page character biographies. I like the unpredictable things that happen beyond the planning, once the scene is under way. I tend to try to think things out as it is, so it's best if I go to the unexplored, unpredictable parts and thrash about a bit. " (Added 11/29/04)

Which is more difficult for an actor? Filming on location, studio shoots or working in front of a blue screen? (Travelingdog)
"For an actor with a family, filming on location. For an actor who prefers to travel, studio shoots. For an actor with a limited imagination, working in front of a blue screen. " (Added 11/22/04)

Are you still playing Piano? What types of roles have really challenged your acting abilities, and why? Are there any roles/characters you hope to play in the future? (Jessie)
"Still playing the piano (barely). Any role that doesn't feel too far away from myself is a challenge. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's reading. A real actor problem is the need to feel resistance, the need to feel the performance. It should be avoided at all costs. That said, I'm working on something very close to myself - and I hope to play it in the future. " (Added 11/24/04)

Everyone has one at least thing that they love or hate about their job, so my questions to you is what is it you about being an actor? What is you hate? (Travelingdog)
" I love the opportunity to stand inside another's shoes and share a story, and I'm disappointed that it's so difficult to make a living." (Added 8/2/05)

The majority of us will never know the thrill of acting; either on stage or on screen. Can you explain how it feels when someone walks up to you, recognizes you and asks for your autograph? (Travelingdog)
" I get sheepish and flattered, and I wonder if I've truly earned the attention." (Added 8/4/05)

In Alias, your wardrobe was very European. Any ideas who the tailor was? (Lovuirons)
"The Alias costume department. They purchased a suit and modified it accordingly within 24 hours - amazing job." (Added 8/8/05)

I loved your delivery in French in Alias. The scene was supposed to be an Italian villa...can you divulge any information on the type of building it really was and if public it's location? (Travelingdog)
"It was a mausoleum in Alta Dena, California. Venice was green-screened into some arches and CG'd into the sky." (Added 8/8/05)

We know you as a fine actor. Are you also doing any screenwriting or directing? (Travelingdog)
"I had originally planned in college on being a writer. It's taken me this long, however, to write something for myself. I just finished a script that I plan to make (and now that I put it out there - there is no turning back)." (Added 8/10/05)

What character in your career has been the most difficult arc to achieve? (Travelingdog)
"I did a guest spot on a show a few years ago and I don't think it worked. I didn't quite connect the dots. " (Added 8/10/05)

You have a beautiful voice. Have you ever considered doing the narration of an audio book? (Travelingdog)
"You're very kind - I hope the audio book I narrate some day will be my own." (Added 8/22/05)

If you had your choice of television roles whether current or past, comedic or dramatic, which role(s) (not counting any you've played to date) do you believe you would (would have) most enjoyed playing and why? (Enid Ann)
"John Steed in The Avengers - how more cool can you get? " (Added 8/23/05)

I saw your performance in the Architect of Destiny...and loved it. Do you have any plans to perform in another indie play in the near future? (Travelingdog)
" I just completed a run as 'Marco' in the South Coast Repertory production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge." (Added 8/24/05)

I've noticed that in at least two of your roles you have worked with medieval-type weapons as props, and was wondering, did you enjoy them more or less than or less than other objects in your acting environment? (Lttlfrg)
"In general, I appreciate authenticity in the prop. The more detail it has, the better it works in the scene - the property masters who supplied the medieval pieces did a superior job in this regard. Great detail. Just the right heft. Well-balanced for functionality." (Added 8/27/05)

I know that quite a few actors and actresses keep copies of their work (apart from their portfolio) do you have a collection of your own? (Lttlfrg)
"Some things I'm missing." (Added 8/28/05)

Have you ever required a stunt double, and if so, in what role? (Lttlfrg)
"Stunt doubles are nearly always provided during action scenes. The general rule of thumb is that the actors do as much as is safe for coverage.

The doubles have all been very gracious - and they all do their best to make the actor look good. Theirs is a selfless job." (Added 8/29/05)
