Interview with Krystal Harris
August 22, 2002
There is a new breed of supergirl in the entertainment industry. She writes songs, sings, plays an instrument, dances and acts. Krystal Harris is among these supergirls. So how come you haven’t heard of her? Don’t worry you will. And when you do, two million of you will say “I saw her when she was the opening act on the Backstreet Boys’ Black & Blue world tour.”
That’s right folks. This 20-year-old phenom was swept out of oblivion by Backstreet Boy, Kevin Richardson. When Kevin heard Krystal sing he knew the girl was on her way and he was getting in on the ground floor. So there it was for the singer/songwriter from Indiana, she was signed on to open for one of the most popular concert tour in 2001. “The Boys,” as Krystal calls them, signed her as the first artist on their record label KBNHA Records. Okay, well maybe it wasn’t that easy but her story should spark the imaginations of all those struggling songsters that it could happen to them too. Read more
Krystal Harris This or That
April 22, 2002
Pacers or Lakers?
“Oh I’m gonna get killed for this, Lakers.” That is assuming any Pacers visit our site…
Supergirl or Superman?
Superman. Says she likes guys and enjoys “Smallville.” We here, at Ones2watch4, like the boy in “Smallville”, but that’s another story…
Frodo Baggins or Anakin Skywalker? Read more
Interview with Gerard Butler
February 25, 2002
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

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
November 15, 2001
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
October 14, 2001
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
Oded Fehr Answers Fan Questions
October 13, 2001
Ones2watch4 asked fans over at The Playground Forum for the Renegade Med Jai on Wheels fan site if they could ask Oded one question what would they want to know. Here are some of their questions and Oded’s answers.
Hattie: How did you prepare for the role of Frank Donovan?
Oded: I did a lot of kind of interviews, not interviews, but I went and talked to FBI agents and undercover agents; a lot of reading. It’s kind of amazing talking to these undercover agents because this kind of glamorous life you think it is. It’s not. It’s very lonely especially if you go under for a very long time. You don’t really talk to anybody or see anybody except for the subjects you’re dealing with because you don’t really want to have to lie to anybody else, you know? It’s really interesting. As far as physical stuff you try and keep yourself physically fit as an actor in general to be able to do anything that’s asked of you. I do martial arts a little bit. I concentrate on what methods the FBI uses.
Tamara from Brooklin, Maine: Do you ever want to try you hand at writing or directing?
Oded: Directing is something that is very frightening for me at the moment. There’s just so much stuff that I need to learn and there’s so much more experience that I need to get as an actor before I can ever imagine directing. I think yes, I think one day in the very distant future I would be interested in doing that. As far as writing is concerned, every once in a while I do try and then I realize how incapable of writing I am so I stop. So basically I can’t do anything and once people find out that I can’t act everybody will know that.
Kathy Heinke from Fort Alexander, Wisconsin: Is there a specific role you’ve always wanted to play? Why?
Oded: I always try to keep myself very open. It’s really weird. When I went into drama school I never had an image of what I wanted to do in my life as an actor. I never wanted to be a film actor, I never wanted to be necessarily only a theatre actor. I sort of had this image of doing theatre and then doing television and paying my way. The same about the characters that I’ve wanted to play. I never sort of restrict myself in the sense that I wanted to do. I tend to aim more for what would be a good job, what would be a smart decision in the sense of what could help my career. whether people would enjoy seeing this role, whether it would open new opportunities. After I shot The Mummy Returns, I didn’t work for about ten months. Not because there weren’t offers there, not because people weren’t interested, It’s because the roles I was offered and the roles that people were interested in me for were roles that were, my feeling, were restricting. They were ethnic or they were roles that were bad guys or roles in movies that I didn’t believe in. I felt like they would have been a wrong choice to make for my career.
Interview with Oded Fehr
October 13, 2001
Oded Fehr is afraid everyone will find out he can’t act. An interesting paranoia to say the least, considering he was recast in a lead role in the new NBC television series UC:Undercover; that his role in The Mummy was rewritten so his character lives to return for more screen time in the sequel, The Mummy Returns; and that he was also called back to perform as a different character in next year’s star-studded Texas Rangers (which he couldn’t do due to other commitments.)
