An opportunity of a lifetime..

[LaurenM]

..may be mine.

This guy, LP..a filmmaker from Denmark, is the webmaster on www.uncubed.com, and out of the blue he MSNIMed me yesterday. I asked a question on the message board on why Cube Zero (tonys upcoming movie) is so secret. He told me why (in which i'm sworn to secrecy) and some other info on the movie and his character, Owen.

And then he asked me about Tony. He asked me, "why tony? he usually does small roles."..i replied the usual answer "because he has something other actors don't have...there's just something about him. ect. ect"

He told me that he's the publicist for this movie (in which he REALLY is) and stuff. We talked until 10am (in which i went to bed...i've never stayed up that late) talking about the Cube movies, Tony, filmmaking, ect.

The best part (and the reason for this post) is that he's going to arrange an interview between me and Tony. Text-wise, of course. no face to face stuff..sadly. He already interviewed an actress from the movie so I know he's legit. Anyway, he e-mailed his agent asking permission and he'll get back to me with that info.

I'm trying to figure out (IF I get this interview with him) what questions to ask him..so far I have:
*In this movie, you play Owen, tell us about him?
*What makes this movie different from others you've done?
*What have you got planned for the future? (projects wise)
*What is your most fondest memory about a past project?
*Who is your inspiration?

what others should I have. And no BHH related questions. this is for this movie (Cube Zero) and his acting career only. so, what else should i ask him?

i think this would be his first interview..and *I* would be the one doing it. *swoon* ;D

**PRAYS REALLY REALLY HARD!**

Wow! That's so cool! I hope you get to do that ;D

The best part (and the reason for this post) is that he's going to arrange an interview between me and Tony.

wow. talk about lucky.

perhaps things along the lines of if acting was something he wanted to do when he was a child (surprisingly, there are actors who did not want to be actors when they were children).

[whatever]

Man! I had some non-BHH related questions I would've like to ask Tony given the opportunity! Think I can think of them now? ! ? Darn! Should've wrote them down. I hope there's some time before the interview for my brain to settle down enough to bring them back to mind.

[HailStorm]

Last night, thinking about it, I would probably ask him what the are the things he most and least enjoys about being an actor and what his favourite scene was (if he can say without too many spoilers).

[LaurenM]

I'm actually gonna scratch the inspiration question. too corny and asked too often of actors. And since i don't know how many i'll be asking, i'll just ponder your guys' as well. it'll probably be just 5.

BUT i still don't know for sure if i'm doing this. Lennie hasn't e-mailed me back yet with the go-ahead. I guess these things take time.

[LaurenM]

Lennie didn't get a resonse just yet. so, until then..we'll have to think of more questions. He wants about 10. i'm also scratching the "tell us about your character" one because since it's so secret, he may not answer it.

but good news is, he talked to a crew member about him:

"Editor and 2nd Unit Director of CZ Mark Sanders: I recommended him to Ernie (the creator/director), who had worked with him before (on Prisoner of Love), and he is really one of the best parts in the film. He is also a terrific person."

I agree 1,000,000,000,000% ;D

anyway, 'whatever', i sure hope you remember those q's.

[whatever]

I'm not sure if I've remembered all of them but here's the gist of them:

What about this role appealed to you? How is it similar/different from roles you've played in the past?

If you were given a carte blanche to create a character that is yours alone, what would that character be? (Why?)

About him, personally (Viewers/fans do like to know a bit about the person behind the character)

What do you consider to be your best and worst qualities?

My connection cut out while I was deliberating asking how he started as an actor (i.e. Mirrorcard's suggestion) so I'm sticking it in anyway.

It was seeing Jeff's answers to the board's questions that made me think about posting up hypothetical questions for Tony to answer. I think that I'm still missing a good one and if I think of it in time I will post it (or even if I'm not in time ).

[LaurenM]

those are great! i'm saving those, too.

"It was seeing Jeff's answers to the board's questions that made me think about posting up hypothetical questions for Tony to answer. I think that I'm still missing a good one and if I think of it in time I will post it (or even if I'm not in time )."

like what kind of q's?

also, we have to be careful of the questions on this movie...since it's 'so secretive' and whatnot. we should avoid character and plot related ones.

Lennie's gonna get the movie before any of us do. since it's a perk for being publicist an' all. but other than that, it'll be out early this fall....which is late september-early october. that would be wild if it was released on the week of my birthday (oct. 10)

[whatever]

Well, Q's along the lines that we've posted here. Stuff that you read about in Actor Bio's that we don't get to read because there's not much beyond your Tony site about Mr. Munch.

Are we allowed a silly question? There was/is a DJ in Toronto *cough - Tarzan Dan - cough* who used to have a super-fast 10 question interview. I had a few of them on tape, they had Q's like: What was your first *real* job? Who are you ga-ga for? And he always ended the interview with: Is it an innie or an outie? Since the interview is for the movie's publicity, maybe the sillies should just be relegated to the non-existent Questions you would ask Tony if you could thread.

[LaurenM]

that's a good idea, actually. putting tiny random questions 'randomly' in the interview. to throw him off and get a laugh. what i would want to know more about him:

left of right handed? (i think he's left)
Disneyworld or Disneyland?
fave food? (ie italian or mexican)
conservative, liberal, other?
ect. ect.
