The Wedding Singer Interviews

Steve Buscemi (Dave Veltri)
I talked to Steve at the premiere of Igor, on September 13th, 2008, at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. I was familiar with his voice from creepy Randall in Monsters, Inc., and it was interesting that he did a voice in Igor, another story about monsters. He turned out to be a really nice guy (not creepy at all)!

Kevin Nealon (Mr. Simms)
I had trouble interviewing comedians when I was younger, because I was so focused on my next question, and wasn’t able to improvise with them. They never really knew if they could play off me or not, and I was never sure if they were joking around. As I got more experience, I learned to go with the flow more. This interview with Kevin disguised as Merida took place at the Brave premiere, of course, on June 18th, 2012, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest Interviews

Jo Anne Worley (Wardrobe)
It was so fun talking to Jo Anne at the premiere for The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story. She really is a hoot, but also a kind and generous person with a giant love of animals. This interview took place on May 19, 2009 at the El Capitan in Hollywood.

Jim Cummings (King Triton)
Jim is such a talented voice actor! He’s provided many great Disney voices over the years, including taking over some of the classic voices on Winnie the Pooh. I met him at The Princess and the Frog premiere at the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank on November 15, 2009.

Jodi Benson (Ariel)
My first Disney Princess interview! Although Jodi is the one and only voice of animated Ariel, at this premiere, she was repping her character in Toy Story 3 – Barbie! This interview took place on June 13, 2010 at the El Capitan in Hollywood.

Mandy Moore (Rapunzel)
Two Disney Princesses in one year! As you can see, it’s hard to get even a full minute’s audience with a princess… This interview with Mandy took place at the Tangled premiere on November 14, 2010 at the El Capitan in Hollywood.

Choose Love Interviews

Laura Marano (Cami Conway)
This was one of my busiest red carpet days, June 22nd, 2013! In the morning, we were at CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood for the premiere of Despicable Me 2: The Rise of Gru. Then, in the afternoon, we were at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim for the premiere of The Lone Ranger, where I talked to Laura Marano. After the red carpet, we got to stay in the park and ride some rides, so I’m glad the two events happened in the order that they did!.

Avan Jogia (Rex Gallier)
I’ve talked to Avan at a couple of different events, but the very first time I met him, I interviewed him twice in the same night! This was a Sweet Sixteen party for Jillian Clare, and it took place on July 25th, 2008 on a boat in the Long Beach harbor. I was pretty nervous to be a preteen (nearly 12) at a private party full of famous teenagers!

Ahsoka Interviews

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Hera Syndulla)
This was very early on in my interviewing career (my second red carpet), and before she was known for her role in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I talked to Mary Elizabeth at the Sky High premiere on July 24th, 2005, at the El Capitan in Hollywood.

Clancy Brown (Ryder Azadi)
Of course, we’ll always know him as Mr. Crabs, but it was fun meeting Clancy as a dad, taking his family to the premiere of WALL-E. This interview took place on June 21st, 2008, at the Greek Theatre in LA.

August 26, 2023

Anna Faris Interview

This was my first of two conversations with Anna. This one took place at the Regency Village Theater in Westwood, during the Yogi Bear premiere, on December 11th, 2010. I would see her again a few years later, at Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
