AOL Chat mit David Boreanaz, 6.10.2002

AOL: We're very pleased to welcome back to our stage, everyone's favorite vampire, 'Angel' hims RavenLlVE: himself, David Boreanaz! Welcome David!

AngelLlVE: Thanks for being so kind to let me join in on this chat!

RavenLlVE: We have lots of members here tonight... so let's get right to their questions.

Question: I really love and admire you as an actor. Did anyone inspire you to become an actor? Also what is it like fulfilling that dream?

AngelLlVE: Inspiration to get into acting was pretty much from the late Yul Brynner from 'The King and I'. Going and attending Broadway shows in New York was also a big inspiration. I think the dream is still a work in progress for me. Part of it has definitely been fulfilled but I don't see the overall completion yet.

Question: David, What has been your most challenging role as an actor?

AngelLlVE: A play that I did called 'Cowboy Mouth'. It was a Sam Shepard, one act play. Also, keeping the Angel character alive, fresh and new every season is a challenge to me as well.

Question: Would you like to do more movies? If so, which would be the type of movie you'd most like to do?

AngelLlVE: It really depends upon the project and what is presented. To me, more or less romance, action/drama...again, it really depends upon the director and the writing of the project.

Question: What did you go through to get the part? Because I'm going to be an actress after I graduate and I want to know what I have to look forward to.

AngelLlVE: You have to be patient and extrememly dedicated to working inside yourself. Do a lot of theater and stay within your roots. It can be a very disappointing business-with every high there is a low. You really have to be there 100%.

Question: Is there going to be an"Angel"movie?

AngelLlVE: That idea has been thrown around, it's up to Joss and the creators.

RavenLlVE: So... no Angel musical?

AngelLlVE: No, no way! LOL

Question: What are your hobbies?

AngelLlVE: I like to play ice hockey, I read a lot, golf. I'll hopefully get to start riding my bike some more too. Any outdoor activity.

Question: I love your show. My question is... What are the chances of Wesley rejoining the Angel Investigations team?

AngelLlVE: From where he came from last season, I think from tonight's episode you'll get a better grasp at where he'll be heading. Tonight's episode is a telltale episode of what will happen to everyone.

Question: How do you get in character to actually "become" Angel?

AngelLlVE: I just show up and be present and focused and be very dilligent. I go strong with it when I show up to work.

Question: We have a lot of members congratulating you on becoming a dad. How's that going?

AngelLlVE: Thank you! It's great. Jaden is lying next to me right now.

Question: David, how does the role that you play effect you emotionally, if at all?

AngelLlVE: That's something I shut off after I do the scene. Once the scene is over you kind of have to step back and let it go.

Question: Will the tensions between Wolfram and Hart and Angel Investigations get stronger this year?

AngelLlVE: The tensions will definitely be at a high at tonight's episode. Wolfram and Hart is an evil entity in Angel's world. Whether or not it comes to a conclusion at the end of this season remains to be said but the journey will continue in tonight's episode.

Question: What is the most appealing aspect of the Angel character to you, as an actor and as an individual?

AngelLlVE: He's appealing to play because he's very conflicting. HIs motivation is always determined by his turmoil and the curse that he has. They kind of coincide as an actor, they appeal in the same way. He's very adventurous and spontaneous.

Question: Can you give us any scoop on Angel's andCordelia's relationship?

AngelLlVE: I can't give you any in terms of what will happen with them directly. I think after this evening you'll see the direction they're heading but you'll just have to wait and see.

Question: What is the one gift you have always wanted but you never received?

AngelLlVE: I'm not really looking to receive any gifts, I'd rather give than receive.

Question: What is your biggest fear?

AngelLlVE: Birds! I don't like chickens or birds. They get too scattery.

AOL: Would you ever consider going on a Celebrity Fear Factor?

AngelLlVE: No way!

RavenLlVE: LOL

Question: If spike has a soul now too then who is the prophecy talking about when they say the vampire with a soul?

AngelLlVE: I really don't know the answer to that, I didn't even know he had a soul! More power to him! LOL

Question: How does it feel being considered a teen heart throb?

AngelLlVE: There's not much to consider in that aspect. Whatever you do, you have responsibility to whatever is going on around you. I don't obsess on that.

AOL: So you wouldn't mind your daughter having pictures of someone like you all over her room in the future/

AngelLlVE: Whatever she wants, as long as she's healthy about it! I'm not going to kill her hormonal teen spirit! LOL

AOL: Now I have no idea if this is true but... Question: I heard that you can stretch your body all weird, how'd you get into that?

AngelLlVE: I couldn't even touch my toes to be honest with you, let alone stretching my body into all kinds of positions! LOL

RavenLlVE: Where do these rumors come from?

Question: The promos for tonight's episode show a very gaunt Angel. Did you lose weight for the role?

AngelLlVE: Nope, we used a lot of makeup. I was pretty much in shape, more so than usual.

Question: Do you miss the cast of Buffy? Or do you guys still hang out?

AngelLlVE: We don't hang out, there's no interaction between me and the Buffy crew at all. Not much to miss if you're not around...

Question: David who do u admire in the movie business?

AngelLlVE: Gregory Peck is one who I've admired just for his cheer, stature and competence. He represents someone who is strong and he's a remarkable talent. I admire many people in the past. As far as today, I'd have to say Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Paul's love for the environment and his causes is so great, he gives so much.

RavenLlVE: Do you have any causes yourself?

AngelLlVE: I work a lot for the Make A Wish Foundation for kids and children who are dying and don't have a second chance. I also work for the Fulfillment Fund for children and teachers to give them a better chance at education.

RavenLlVE: It's great that you give back like that.

Question: MagicalGirlMe wants to know how do you keep in such good shape? Do you have a strict regime?

AngelLlVE: I played ice hockey a lot this past year which is really a great mental and physical work out. You have to watch what you eat, I'm not the best eater in the world! I also work out on the show a lot and do a lot of stunts.

Question: How long does it take for you to memorize a script?

AngelLlVE: We shoot out of sequence. It depends on what we're shooting and what scene it is. It takes 8 days to shoot 1 episode. You kind of have to keep it in a domino effect and keep it active before you shoot. It's definitely a process.

Question: Do you have a favorite episode that stands out with you?

AngelLlVE: The second season, the second episode when we went back in the 50's stands out as one of my favorites. I'm very proud of tonight's episode, it came out great, I think the best first year episode we've ever had. We have another episode coming up where we actually go to Las Vegas but that's all I'm going to say about that one! It was a fun episode.

Question: Hey David Boreanaz I was wondering are you going to do any movies soon ?

AngelLlVE: The last movie I did was called 'I Want Lucy'. There's no set date for it being released in the U.S. yet. I do have future plans for some film work this hiatus but we'll just have to see as far as projects!

AOL: Where do you want your character of Angel to go in the seasons to come?

AngelLlVE: Let's just get through tomorrow's shooting and then I'll decide that! I go from show to show and take it for what it's worth. You set yourself up for disappointment. You have to enjoy what you have now. I'm just happy that it's doing well and we're giving you guys a good time. I think the fourth season is going to be the best and I really think you guys are going to enjoy it. It's going to be a lot different!

RavenLlVE: Everyone be sure to tune into the WB tonight at 9PM to watch the show. And David thanks so much for taking the time out to join us.

AngelLlVE: Thanks for having me, it's been a pleasure! We're very excited and I know Joss has a lot in store for you guys this year. HOld on to you hats and get ready for a phenomenal season with a lot of surprises! RavenLlVE: Great... we'll all look forward to that!

RavenLlVE: Thanks to everyone for joining us tonight and sending in those great questions!
