Here goes...

1) Did you go to college, and if so, what was your major?

Yeah, I went to Marquette University in scenic Milwaukee Wisconsin...because they let me in. I started as a business major and switched to Journalism, then to Philosophy and then dropped out after 3 years to be a rock star...didn't work out the way I thought.

2) Who is your favorite director? And Why?

Robert Wise, because he could do anything, the most versitile director of all time. He did horror (The Haunting, Curse of the Cat People) Sci-Fi (The Andromeda Strain, The Day the Earth Stood Still) musicals (West Side Story, The Sound of Music) war movies (Run Silent Run Deep, The Sand Pebbles) historical epics (Helen of Troy) noir (The Set-up) and he even edited Citizen Kane. I am quite simply in awe of the man.

3) What was your favorite job before your current one?

Starring in the first National tour of the musical RENT (I played Roger) was a lot of fun. It was exhausting singing 22 songs a show 8 shows a week, but the fans were amazing (until the Boston Nanny murder thing fell on us) and the money was great.

4) What brought you to HDC? (I know i was asked this one, but it's a good one)

Same as you...I was looking for a place to promote myself. I've never been part of an internet community before and scoffed at it before joining. But I found that I really liked the people and now you can't get rid of me:p

5) If you had the opportunity to make it so that every screenplay you ever wrote would become a feature film, without exception, would you trade that for an opportunity to direct one of them? this is purely hypothetical, but you would have to pick, if you chose the first part, every screenplay you wrote would become a major motion picture, but you would never ever get an opportunity to direct, and vice versa.

Sell them all? In a fucking heartbeat.
Directing is cool, and I'll probably do it, but it isn't my overriding passion. I'd rather act than direct and I've already written 24 screenplays, so to sell them all would mean I'd never have to worry about cash again!

I only did it because I saw kemal and I'm actually interested to know stuff about him. Too bad he doesn't want to play this game. :(

and because you know roderick didn't know how it worked and stuff. :p
