Tvgchat: Welcome Andrea, glad you could join us
tonight.
Andreatvg: Hello everybody, bring it on!
Question: Wat´s the best part about acting
Andreatvg: Great question! Hmm. The best thing about acting -- the freedom to
explore my own person and my own character. The creative license to behave in
ways I would be too shy or uncomfortable in reality. Did that make sense?
Question: do u like the cast are they like
famliy to u????
Andreatvg: We're all mad for each other. We get along famously. I spend most of
my time with John and Patrick. I adore them.
Question: Andrea, I saw you once on the Keenan
Wayans show, and you said you have a foot fetish?!? Does this mean you really
like feet or something? Do you like people tickling your feet??! I would love to
know what that was all about! Thanks, DebB
Andreatvg: Deb B. First of all, seek counseling! Honestly, it was exaggerated on
the stemming from my dance background, the line of a leg is a thing of beauty.
It's not just feet. A beautiful foot in a beautiful SHOE is appealing to me.
Question: Hello! I think that you are a great
actress! Are you, at all going, have children on the show?
Andreatvg: Brigitte is a pregnant. I wonder what that means.
Question: What's your favorite part about
getting to be Ms. Parker??? JoDee :o)
Andreatvg: Free license to be as masculine, condescending and provocative as I
can possibly be. I'm paid to shoot guns, drive like a bat out of hell and
deliver the best one-liners on TV. It's liberating, what can I say? Especially
for a chicken at heart!
Question: Hi Andrea--what do you find most
rewarding about your role on the series?
Andreatvg: Stable employment.
Question: Hi andrea! Are we going to see more
scenes between Miss Parker and Jarod this season?
Andreatvg: I don't know. One can only hope.
Question: What was your favorite
"Pretender" location?
Andreatvg: The old Sea World where we shot the hurricane episode season 2.
Titled Keys. Reason being the weather was beautiful, the location was all
exterior. We were on a cliff right off the coast and everybody was upbeat and
happy. You can't beat fresh air and sunshine. Plus I got to get a little
squirrely in that jeep. And that was a good time.
Question: Is the Pretender shot in HDT and if so
does it make any special demands on filming?
Andreatvg: Not as of yet.
Question: What is a typical day of work like for
you?
Andreatvg: 4AM set call. And then a good 12 to 16 hours of high heels and bad
attitudes.
Question: If you could have played any character
from any film ever made who would you choose?
Andreatvg: At the risk of being repetitive, Emma Peel's part in the Avengers.
Question: Hello! I Love you, Andrea! How can you
help yourself in this business? What do you recommend aspiring young actresses
do?
Andreatvg: Train. That's it. Train.
Question: What do you find most challenging
about the role of Miss Parker?
Andreatvg: To turn her off. To leave her at work.
Question: Is it hard to yell at Mr. Lyle and NOT
laugh???
Andreatvg: No. LOL! LOL!!!
Question: What qualities about your character do
you most admire?
Andreatvg: Diligence. Tenacity.
Question: I just episode of pretender on
saterday and I thought your character was great. Can you relate to Ms. Parker at
all?
Andreatvg: More than I would care to admit.
Question: It was revealed in the second season
that Ben might be Miss Parker's biological father. Is this something that might
be addressed again this season? Will Ben return to the show? -- Cheryl
Andreatvg: I hope so and I don't know. That's a question for writers and casting.
I only get my scripts a week in advance.
Question: How do you stay so beautiful in all
those rigorous action scenes? :-)
Andreatvg: Have I mentioned that you are my favorite fan! LOL! Oh, I'd love to
say a lot of water and hard work, but really you flatter me, and the credit is
really due to my personal magicians who paint this barn new everyday. I'm
speaking of hair, makeup and wardrobe.
Question: Hi Andrea! Do you surf the net in your
spare time, and if so, do you check out The Pretender websites made by the fans?
There are a bunch dedicated to you. Cheryl, Proud owner of the Miss Parker
Keepers Website
Andreatvg: Never.
Question: Where did you get the gorgeous silver
square ring that we see you wear all the time on The Pretender?
Andreatvg: Very interesting! Excellent observation. When I met with the costumer
on the pilot in Canada four years ago, I asked her to have an assortment of
rings for me to choose from when I came to the fitting. I felt Ms. Parker should
have a constant piece of jewelry. And there was something about a ring that felt
right. When I showed up for the fitting and saw the table full of rings she had
supplied me with, I honed in on this particular one. It's harsh and angular and
square and heavy and cold metal. Just like Ms. Parker's heart. And I put it on
my index finger of my left hand. It fit perfectly, and it's never been removed.
Having said all that, I have been asking the writers to address this ring for
the last 3 seasons. I would like for it to have a special meaning of some sort.
Maybe 4th season?
Question: I heard that you did a L'Oreal
commercial awhile back but I never saw it. Have they started airing it yet? --
Cheryl
Andreatvg: Wrong! It was Revlon Halston perfume. I body doubled for Cindy
Crawford. This was many moons ago. I'm not exactly sure if that's what you're
talking about.
Question: Who are some of the performers you
watch for inspiration?
Andreatvg: Christopher Walken, Madeline Kahn, Tyne Daly. Carol Burnett. Who else?
John Turturro. That's a good start.
Question: Have you done any of your own stunts
and if so what was the most challenging?
Andreatvg: Most of them. Hurling a heavy wooden chair thru a breakaway wall that
didn't break away. I broke my finger, continued to shoot for five hours, and
drove myself to emergency. All in a day's work baby!
Question: We would like to see more sexual
tension between Jarod and Miss Parker. Is that going to happen??
Andreatvg: I bet you would!! I bet you would! Couldn't tell ya.
Question: What is the funniest thing that
happened on the set?
Andreatvg: It was really late Friday night, it had been a long day of changes
and I had made a large cup of hot tea to get a little caffeine jolt. Was leaving
hair and makeup heading towards the set. The crew is waiting, they want their
weekend bad. As I walk thru the stage door, I'm leaning over to take a sip of my
tea. Out comes a crew member from the opposite direction. Hot, creamy, sugar tea
all over me. The person who opened the door was horrified, fearing for their job.
They've destroyed the lead actress, there's going to be another 20 minute delay.
Half hour delay to put me back together again. Personally, I thought it was
hilarious. It couldn't have been timed any better and the joke was on me.
Especially really late on a Friday night, things like that are very funny.
PS I was back to the set in 15 minutes, everyone was happy. And now we have
endless tea jokes! LOL! I'm not allowed any tea late on Friday nights. LOL!
Question: I think you are one of the most gifted
actresses around. You deserve Emmys for your outstanding performances year after
year. Please know that your talent and hard work is appreciated and respected by
your dedicated fans. :-) -- Cheryl
Andreatvg: You're the reason I do what I do.
Tvgchat: Andrea, thanks for joining us this
evening. Best of luck on the new season.
Andreatvg: I appreciate your time and your attention. Have a rocking week!
