He’s created something truly unique and original that all the forum can enjoy Again, SideStrike is one of those members who I always say I don’t know but wish I could know him better. He seems such a great guy and a real hoot to be around. I hope that through this Hot Seat, maybe we’ll get to know each other a little better SS, you are an extremely popular member of this board and I know you’ll have no trouble making a really successful contestant. Enjoy! ;D -------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Who's your favorite Band/Singer? Why? - What makes them so special to you. 2) Are you freaked out by the sight of blood? 3) Which is your favorite Ice Cream flavor? 4) What was the last Joke someone told you? 5) Which song do you identify with the most or you think represents your personality best? 6) What's the worst Pick-Up line you can think of? 7) For how long can you picture this forum being around for? 8) Will you be seeing X-Men 3: The Last Stand when it comes out? 9) Where would you rather go: On vacation to Australia, Africa or Antarctica? Why? 10) And of course, what is your favorite Michael Jackson song? - That's all for now

Wow! Thank you for such kind words! You're awesome! The Second Evil Asked: 1) Who's your favorite Band/Singer? Why? - What makes them so special to you.My favorite band is Jack's Mannequin. They've appeared on One Tree Hill and the lead singer is Andrew McMahon from Soco. He was treated with luekemia and fought through it with such powerful lyrics and music. He's an inspiration to never give up in my opinion. 2) Are you freaked out by the sight of blood?No, the only time it "freaks" me out is if it's a real dead body all gored up 3) Which is your favorite Ice Cream flavor?Cookie dough! Sometimes I just buy cookie dough and eat that. 4) What was the last Joke someone told you?Wasn't really a joke persay but my friends reminded me about a time when this kid said "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, and then he got a dictionary thrown at him" 5) Which song do you identify with the most or you think represents your personality best? "Welcome to my life" by Simple plan or "Perfect" by simple plan. Their lyrics to all of their songs are very powerful 6) What's the worst Pick-Up line you can think of? You must be tired, because you've been running through my mind all day! 7) For how long can you picture this forum being around for?I would say about another 3-5 years. People wise maybe 3 at the most. 8) Will you be seeing X-Men 3: The Last Stand when it comes out?I'm sure I will even though it's not an important movie on my list. 9) Where would you rather go: On vacation to Australia, Africa or Antarctica? Why?Australia, I would like to go down under! Many good looking people and I feel it would be fun and interesting. Although also not an important place on my list to visit. 10) And of course, what is your favorite Michael Jackson song? Thriller! I can never get tired of that video!

Firerancher Asked:
1. What is 2 + 2? I think it is 4.. But I'm not sure
2. Would you jump off a bridge if other lemmings did? No
3. If you could be an action figure (which you have become one recently, and I hope you put yourself in your show, that'd be cool to see)...would you play with yourself? I KNEW that was coming once I started reading the question. I don't believe I would play with my self.. I would probably be Buffy.
4. Gremlins one, or II: Gremlins in New York? Gremlins One - Originals usually are always better!
5. If you could play ANY role, what would it be? Past, present, or future. I would really like to play JT on Degrassi or Wallace on Veronica Mars
6. How do you pronounce 'either'... E or I? I pronounce it with the E
7. If you could costar with ANY Buffy character or guest in any of their other films/shows/etc...who would you be, and why? Scream 2 with SMG. I LOVE THAT SERIES! Bsides of course Buffy!
Thanks soo much for the questions. Please keep them coming everyone!

Congratulations on being in the Hot Seat, Terrence!
I'm excited for you. I know you are psyched for the week.
K, here goes:
You are an actor, correct? What first got you interested in the world of acting and entertainment?
What roles do you most enjoy playing?
What do you think about Method acting?
Do you have a hard time shaking off an emotion after you have played it?
Do you think Los Angeles is a shallow place?
What are your career aspirations? Do you have a plan, like graduate from drama school, move to New York, stay in LA, what's the vision?
Lots of actors say that the main job of actors is auditioning. How do you think you can keep the rejection part of the job in perspective?
I know you've learned a lot about filming and setting up shots, and applied it to your action figure show. Are you interested in doing the production end of entertainment? Which parts appeal to you the most?
What people in your life have influenced you the most, both for good and for bad? Who and how? What kind of influence do you hope to be on others, both now and in the future?
OK, that'll start!

GirlPower asked:
You are an actor, correct? What first got you interested in the world of acting and entertainment? When I was little I was always wanting to make movies of my own and act in them. I've always wanted to be a certain character in a movie or television show.
What roles do you most enjoy playing? I really like Angry roles or emotionally sad roles (involving crying)
What do you think about Method acting? I'm not going to say it doesn't work. I don't use it. I've taken enough classes that try to teach it but doesn't work for me. I tap into the character and feel what they are feeling and understand what they are trying to say and feel.
Do you have a hard time shaking off an emotion after you have played it? Not at all. I'm actually doing a play now where I have a few tears streaming down my face and people find it creepy that once the director stops it Im cheery and smiling.
Do you think Los Angeles is a shallow place? To some degree. More so a yes. I feel LA looks for beauty and since there are people who will do anything to make it they will mangle their bodies and such when they are perfect to begin with.
What are your career aspirations? Do you have a plan, like graduate from drama school, move to New York, stay in LA, what's the vision? Well I hope to go to College and still doing my own thing. Try to get out there really. Staying in LA is my goal
Lots of actors say that the main job of actors is auditioning. How do you think you can keep the rejection part of the job in perspective? The more rejecting the more options you open up. I can't tell you how many directors and casting agents have called me back for a part I never auditioned for, but they remember me from an old audition and liked it. Especially emotional roles. Sometimes when I'm going in I don't like the parts really. But I still give it my all.
I know you've learned a lot about filming and setting up shots, and applied it to your action figure show. Are you interested in doing the production end of entertainment? Which parts appeal to you the most? Besides acting a REALLY strong passion of my is directing and script writing! I love them both! But director would appeal to me most.
What people in your life have influenced you the most, both for good and for bad? Who and how? What kind of influence do you hope to be on others, both now and in the future? Wes Craven has been a HUGE influence, I love all his movies and I believe he is the one that got me wanting to direct really. He's a genius! As an influence on others, I hope I convey my passion in others by showing them I won't give up on any dreams or aspirations I have in life. You've got to be comfortable with yourself

What's your favorite memory? We all have our own ideas of what makes a hero. Who's your own personal hero, and what makes you view him/her in that way? You've just unleashed a genie who is going to grant you three wishes. What do you wish for (no "I wish for a million more wishes" )? -CMK

[glow=red,2,300]CMK Asked:[/glow] What's your favorite memory?Well I have alot of favorite memories, but as of right now. It was when I was first asked for my autograph. We all have our own ideas of what makes a hero. Who's your own personal hero, and what makes you view him/her in that way?My mom would actually be my hero. She's been through soo much and I love her. She probably doesn't even understand how much she means to me. She's everything. She never gives up (thats where I get it from) and she always seems to have an answer to any problem she's faced with. Call me a "momma's boy" You've just unleashed a genie who is going to grant you three wishes. What do you wish for (no "I wish for a million more wishes" )?That's cute Wishes: 1. $5 Million to share with my family 2. My own Popular Movie Productions Studios 3. A new genie to grant me 3 more wishes! LOL I'm just kidding! My third wish would be for Buffy to be reborn with me casted as a role. Thank you for the Questions CMK

[glow=red,2,300]Stakey Asked:[/glow] Ummmm second evil...not to put a damper on things but I think it was afer who started the first action figure series, so he does kinda deserve some credit... He did start "AFS" but he did not start my show (BTVS: The Next Generation), nor the simple idea of putting pictures of the figures together and making a story. I believe that was Kal-El (sorry if I got the name wrong, my apologies) How long does it take you to put a action figure show together?I've actually been really lazy with my show lately. But on a regular day it takes me 3-4 hours. Taking the pictures and the storyline. I usually know exactly what I want to get out through the figures and on paper so it's not difficult once I get started. I then have to upload the pictures and do the effect and get them on photobucket. So 3-4 hours What do you love most about customizing?I love the fact that I can have a unique figure that no one can just go and buy at a store. Plus the hardwork that gets put into it, you can really see it in the final product. I like doing hair sculpts too. Practice makes perfect! If you had to kill one....cordy or anya...I know they both died eventually but imagine that they both lived....and you had to kill one...mwahaaaaaa I would probably have to get rid of Cordelia. I loved her on Buffy soo much better than Anya. But from the times I've seen Cordelia on Angel... I don't like her anymore. And Anya is soo cute, she just says everything so bluntly! [glow=red,2,300]Shivi Asked[/glow] if you could date anyone from Buffy or Angel who would it be ? Do you mean character or actor? Definitely Buffy Summers or Sarah Michelle Gellar! Thank you!

What do you like about about directing?
Why does horror appeal to you? Do you ever feel disgusted by the gore? Do you think that horror emotionally desensitizes people to traumatic and painful situations? Do you think it can cause young people to identify with the perpetrator and predispose them to being violent or predatory?
Do you have specfic personal message that you hope to convey about the world and life in your future work writing and making movies?
What actors have you met? Have you ever met Joss Whedon?
Where have you taken acting classes? Are you in a performing arts school or other acting program of some kind?
How many people are in your family? Are you close to your parents? Any siblings? How does your relationship with your family affect who you are and how you interact with the world?
