1.What made you decide to become involved with The Sexy Chef?

I wanted to get involved with the movie more so after I got, read and started working on the sides for my audition. The character's work and how he felt about it, how he cried every morning before going there. I've had a job like that, I've felt that way, I've cried, ( though it was more after work then before). Then of course having and knowing the feeling of wanting something and it always being unreachable. These were all things that I've felt and was feeling to some degrees in my own life. I've lived this and sometimes "live" this character. We all do... and have. That's what I liked. That, he isn't a killer, an action hero, he isn't saving the planet from impending danger from other worlds. He is just a guy. Frustrated, to some points bitter, but mostly lost. I saw F.M.'s journey as not one of Love, that was merely the vehicle he is carried in, but more as a spiritual one. F.M. finds himself in the end, that he is where he is at because he has kept himself there.He never really knew...or understood, really understood, that he can do what ever he wants, until that moment. He knows what he wants now more then ever, and we've all felt that way at some point as well.

2. What was one memory from the shoot that stands out from the rest?

Is there any money on this question? Am I secretly, unknowingly being used to settle a bet? Hum... That would have be..The Wrestling Battle Royal Hotel Room Match! (read that like your a wrestler announcer.) nuff' said.

3. How has your life changed now that you're a glamorous movie star?

It has not changed in any glamorous movie star way... But it has changed, ya it has... very much so!

4. What do you think F.M.’s real name is?

I think I would respect F.M's privacy and let him tell us when he's ready. I think F.M. has changed very much and will introduce himself properly at the right time. So, I'm not gonna answer that one until I say it! (hint, hint for a sequel...)

5. In your opinion, who is the greatest guitarist of all time?

This is a trick, right? Ok, OK. With perspiration leading the way, our hero moves on. I think that wars have began over this question and I feel alittle nervous answering it, after all, I am "quote-un-quote", "quoting" myself...so I have to be ready to live and die with this answer in some circles. I'm gonna have ta go with....Eric Johnson. (followed directly by Leslie West of Mountain of course!)
