Sam Ayers: Online Chat

(Continued from Page 2)

bluecovede: Q: What do you do during the lull periods on the set, or are you pretty much on the go all day?

sam_sweeper: I rest in my trailer. Sometimes I'll hang out and listen to the sing-alongs when Jon and some of the others start to jam.

bluecovede: Q: Were you in any scenes directed by Michael or Jon? What was that experience like?

sam_sweeper: Yes, they both directed me. Fellow actors working with fellow actors...it was fun. They gave me some ideas, threw me a line here and there.

bluecovede: Q: If "The Pretender" is given proper closure, how do you see the series ending?

sam_sweeper: I liked Jon and Richard's "KABOOOM!" answer. <G>

sam_sweeper: (From Deb) That's the end of the presubmitted stuff. Now Sam gets to interrogate you! <Evil Grin> OK, Sam...go ahead and ask a few things. ;-)

sam_ayers: Thank U

Patrickphile: Tell the dog poo story, Sam....

Patrickphile: Yeah, remember in Sam's first ep, he found that fake dog poo that Jarod left for MP.... (In "Every Picture Tells a Story")

sam_ayers: My first job where I got my SAG card was in NY playing a Cab Driver. I was doing a commmercial for McNeil Pharmaceuticals for a diarrhea commmercial. Then my next job on a soap was a scene in a bathroom where I came out and said "I'm done in here," and the other cast member said to me, "I'll check it out." Then the dog poo on Pretender. My friend said, "What a S@#%^&#y way to make a living." :-)

mogulmouse: Hey Sam, do you have any pets? if so, what kind?

sam_ayers: None right now.

msdivvie: what are you gonna do next?

MyDandy1: Did last minute rewrites ever give cast members problems in learning lines?

sam_ayers: What's next...raising my daughter. Not that I know of.

MyDandy1: How old is she now....

mogulmouse: So what's it like working with Andrea. Hear she's quite the stunt woman herself.

MyDandy1: eight months?

sam_ayers: 8½. Andrea kicks ass w/stunts.

Patrickphile: Can you tell us a bit more about Lord of the Rings? Oops...Lord of the WOLVES.

sam_ayers: Curently they're looking @ Ingo Rademacher for the lead. I'll be the villain...Dagon Stone.

MissKellmas: Can I ask Sam a question? Or are they anwsering other questions they already have?

sam_ayers: Miss K, go ahead

MissKellmas: If you want to do a stunt that is in a script, do you have to clear it through anyone or can you just do it?

sam_ayers: If it's not in a script, yes U have to clear it. Other cast members are around for safety, but if it's your scene & not too dangerous, I'd give it a try...but safety first.
