Need questions for RENT cast for TV show

Posted: 11/9/05 at 7:05pm

OK, in a calm and orderly fashion, I am requesting help with the following:

Access Hollywood has interviews coming up with the cast of RENT.

We are doing something fun and having the cast interview themselves.

Rosario Dawson INTERVIEWS (AND GETS INTERVIEWED BY) Adam Pascal

Taye Diggs INTERVIEWS AND GETS INTERVIEWED BY Anthony Rapp

Jesse L. Martin INTERVIEWS AND GETS INTERVIEWED BY Wilson Jermaine Heredia

Idina Menzel INTERVIEWS AND GETS INTERVIEWED BY Tracie Thoms

What questions do YOU want them to ask EACH OTHER. Serious as well as fun, but please nothing inappropriate. You may even hear your name mentioned on National TV!

Deadline is Tomorrow NOVEMBER 10.

Ready......GO!

This is cool!

I have one that can really work for anyone:

When did you first know you wanted to sing/act?

Great idea! I will have to think about it. Definetly let us know when it will air.

Okay...gah, this is...exciting!!

Questions...

(For the OBC cast who are in the movie)

Which do you like more--creating your character onstage or creating it on the big screen? (If this is used, you can credit me as Carole Ann)

That's a really great idea.

General questions:

What is your favorite song in the movie?

Can you describe how your character feels about my character? (most interesting would be Taye/Anthony, but it would be interesting to hear how all of them approached their roles.)

Could you play my role? Would you want to? (Heh, I was definitely thinking of Wilson asking Jesse that)

Jesse/Wilson and Idina/Tracie should have a question about the portrayal of gay and lesbian characters, especially since none of them are gay themselves, but my mind isn't working to figure it out right now.

Adam: Why are you moving to LA?

I jest.

I'm terrible at thinking of questions like this.

Adam to Rosario: Do you plan on doing another project involving music in the future?

Taye to Anthony: How is Chris Columbus different in his directing methods now than he was when he directed you in Adventures in Babysitting?

Tracie to Idina: How is acting in a movie different from acting on stage?

Tracie to Idina: What type of music will be on your new album?

Yeah, I've had to learn on my feet when it comes to interviewing up until now. It's just hard to find a question knowing you won't be there to ask a follow-up.

general : do you ever worry that the RENT movie isn't what Jonathan Larson had in mind?

I am so horrible with thinking up creative questions but if I come up with one I'll post for sure. Great idea though, please let us know when it'll air! re: Questions for cast of RENT

"Am I a good kisser?"
"Did my breath smell?"

Kidding kidding, though it'd be funny to hear Rosario/Adam, Wilson/Jesse, or Idina/Tracie answer that.

I'm horrible with interview questions. if I come up with any I'll comment

question for anyone:
if you had to pick any character to play besides yourself, who would you want to be and why?
benny to anthony: what is your favorite part of mark's costume?
and also for anyone: have you recently seen RENT performed at the nederlander, how do you feel RENT has changed since when you've performed almost 10 years ago?
----

i thought of some other quesitons (sorry if anyone said this in a later post)

wilson to jesse: which recording do you like better, OBCR or soundtrack?

rosario to adam (or really anyone) what song do you relate to the most

taye to anthony: how do you feel about the role the fans have played in the making of the film? Do you think it was beneficial or shaped the movie?


melanie from new york--if you use any :)

ADAM TO ROSARIO: How did it feel as one of two newcomers in the major parts of this show, to come into a cast that had known each other since the beginning days of RENT?

IDINA TO TRACIE: What was your initial reaction as a fellow "RENThead" to being cast in the film and getting to work with some of the original cast?

JESSE TO WILSON: What was it like putting those heels back on?

ROSARIO TO ADAM: Did you ever think you'd be playing Roger again, let alone putting the role permenantly on film?

TAYE TO ANTHONY: What kind of impact do you think the film will have on our society, considering there are still a lot of people who have never had the chance to see the stage show?

I would like to know how any OBC member feels about the songs cut from the film and how they effect the final product of the film.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

What other musicals do you like?

What song is always stuck in your head?

What's the funniest thing that happened on the set?

What is your favorite costume piece you wore?

Do you like me?

Heh, will try to think of some serious ones.

Love the idea!

Anthony to Taye: What is it like working with your wife on RENT?

or

Trace to Idina: What is it like working with your husband on RENT?

HA.
