James Marsden

James Marsden first caught our eye (get it?!) in the X-Men films as Scott Summers, aka Cyclops. Again the issue of his age came into play here. In the end both the director Bryan Singer and James had great confidence that he had the charisma to be the leader of the elite mutant team and hold his own in the romance department against Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Must say, that’s a tough choice. Read more

Gerard Butler

This Scottish almost-lawyer traded in his higher education to pursue acting, little did he know that he would fall into some plum roles and STILL not be recognized.

Leading off with small roles in British TV and stage productions, Gerard Butler found himself playing one of the most feared warriors in history for the USA Network production of Attila and then followed up with donning black to play the seductive, yet dialogue challenged, Count Dracula in Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000 (or Dracula 2001 depending on where you live).

Interview with Shawn Ashmore

Shawn Ashmore’s excited to talk about his new film X-2. He’s on the verge of divulging secrets of the next X-Men movie but he checks his enthusiasm and holds back imperative information from the die-hard fans. “You’ll just have to go see the movie,” he teases.

From his home in Los Angeles (he splits his time between L.A. and Toronto) Ashmore is ecstatic that his role has been expanded for the sequel to the blockbuster X-Men, starring Academy Award winners Halle Berry and Anna Paquin as well as Ian McKellan and Hugh Jackman. Read more

Shawn Ashmore This or That

Snowboarding or surfing.
Shawn is already having a tough time but chooses snowboarding. He is after all Canadian.

A double or a single.
He chooses a double, no doubt thinking about his identical twin brother.

Nicotine or Nicorette.
This tells so much about a person. Shawn must be a smoker because he chooses nicotine. Read more

Rudolf Martin This or That

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??

Swordfish or Mahi Mahi? Swordfish

Dracula or Lestat? Dracula

Driving or Shotgun? Driving, after thinking about it. This is the first actor to actually know what this is. He is in Germany after all…wonder how fast he went on the Autobahn.

Cigarettes or Nicorette? Claiming he is thinking outside of the box he declines either choice.

Bath ring or wedding ring? Rudolf offered a lot of information on himself with this one. Firstly, we had to explain what a bath ring was. Apparently he is a very clean person. Secondly, he must be looking forward to marriage because he chose wedding ring. Thirdly, that lucky girl… Read more

Interview with Rudolf Martin

Rudolf Martin has this chameleon quality about him which means you’ve seen him, probably more times than you realize. This German actor has appeared in Swordfish, Bedazzled and in the TV series “24″ and “Enterprise”. Although his roles have all been supporting he has stolen the scenes he has been in.

Rudolf didn’t think he would be handed roles on a silver platter. He thought he would have to struggle for every job he got. In other words, Hollywood is just what Rudolf expected. But the struggle has been worth it as he continues to add to his list of growing credits that includes White Oleander, Bedazzled, and Swordfish.

Born and raised in West Berlin, Rudolf moved with his family from Berlin to Paris to Italy, arriving in the United States a short time after his high school graduation from the Universite de Paris. His first professional role was in the short film The Dutch Master, which was nominated for an Academy Award® in 1994. Read more

Interview with Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler is in a great mood. I ask him how he is and he goes on for a few minutes explaining how he was being fitted for costumes for his next movie Michael Crichton’s Timeline that afternoon, how he trained at the gym, and how he is attending, on average, one and a half plays a day while in London. Earlier that week, he says he was in northern England with the man who’s making all the longbows for Timeline and was shown how to work one. Read more

Gerard Butler This or That

Harry or Gandalf?

Gandalf. (He hated Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone with a vengeance.) {Editor’s note: gotta love a man with discriminating taste}

Timeline or Timewarp?

Timeline. (Filming is slated to being this spring in Montreal. But would he sport fishnets and stilettos if asked?) Read more

Interview with Eric Johnson

I first met Eric Johnson six years ago when he was a high school student and I was a journalism student.

He had just made his big screen debut in Legends of the Fall. And what a debut it was, spending screen time opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Not too shabby for a 15 year old from Edmonton, Canada.

“It was my first glimpse at Hollywood movie making. And just the grand scale of things blew my mind away,” says Eric, sipping on a coffee. Read more

Oded Fehr This or That

Mummies or Daddies?
- daddies (but only after making sure the mummies was mummy as in the movie. Maybe somebody’s thinking about little undercover agents.)

Vancouver or Vienna?
- Vancouver. (Probably a good idea seeing as UC:Undercover shoots there.)

Driving or Shotgun?
- driving. (Oded is a man who knows what he wants and how to get there. But the real question is would he stop and ask for directions?) Read more
