KERRY
GRIFFIN'S
20 QUESTIONS
June
2, 2000. Tonight Kerry Griffin is in the hot seat for the first of a
series of interviews with the cast and crew of The Sorceress. The
questions are candid, and asked by the rest of the crew. If you have a
question for Kerry or another cast member, ask it on our Feedback
page.
Q. You have acted in a number of
commercials. What was your favourite?
A. The Javex one, because I got to be in
the shower and I got free Javex at the end of the shoot and two things of
Palmolive - 1 green, 1 orangey brown.
Q What in
particular would you like to tell everyone about The Sorceress?
A. Hey,
it's a guy's show. It's got a tango, baseball and witch burning - what
more do you need in a Fringe show? What guy wouldn't like all that?
Q. Where do you learn your lines?
A. Um, haven't learned them yet.
Q. Have you ever done a nude scene?
A. On stage- no. Improv - yes.
But it was for the cast. We mooned the audience. I'm really an
exhibitionist at heart.
Q. If you could do a
love scene, who would it be with?
A. I would have said Angelina
Jolie till she married Billy Bob. But then, her brother and her - that's
really weird. I guess it would have to be Sporty Spice. I have
a thing for her.
Q. When is the first time you made whoopee, a
phrase young Ruby refers to in The Sorceress?
A. When I was old enough to want it, but
too young to do it right. It was in the 80's.
Q. If you could snap
your fingers and make a wish come true, what would it be?
A. I can't say that out loud.
Q. What is the best
Fringe show you have ever seen?
A. Last year, The Drowsy
Chaperone. I also knew a lot of people in it.
Q. What is the best
professional show you have ever seen?
A. Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat. I'm a big Donny fan and also did it when I was
twelve.
Q. Really? What
part did you play?
A. I was Joseph.
Q. So, The Sorceress isn't
your first musical?
A. No.
Q. What's your favourite
word?
A. Toast.
Q. What's your favourite
swearword?
A. We can't say it in this
page, but it starts with f....
Q. If there is a heaven,
what would God say to you when you get there?
A. You were just what I wanted
for the human race!
Q. What do you want out
of your career?
A. To be paid, laid and....
yeah.
Q. How many Fringe shows
have you been in?
A. This is my second. Last
summer I was in The Fabulous Smokey Topaz Multimedia Extravaganza.
Q. Tell us about your
role.
A. I played Jiggy - one of the
Smokey Topaz dancers and it was fun! Break dancing, funk, commercials and
I even got to skip rope! Fun.
Q. What is Smokey really
like?
A. Smokey's not a real blond, and
boy, did she drink!
Q. Who's your biggest
inspiration?
A. Sporty Spice... no, um, Monty
Python?
