Interview Questions for Ed Wasser

WORFWORF The Burninator
At Biggles and Sanfam's request, I will attempt to interview Ed Wasser (Mr Morden) at the [URL=http://www.londonexpo.com/]London Expo[/URL] on the 16th of this month.

If I can, then I will get the questions answered during the day, otherwise I will leave the questions for him to answer and send to Sanfam.

So, now all that is left to do is decide what questions to ask. Anyone who has a question that he/she would like me to ask, post them here. If I get too many questions to realistically ask, we will have to vote on them. Keep in mind that I will only ask serious questions, so any silly questions wont be included.

    Purple or Green?
  • AkrovahAkrovah Ranger
    I'm not sure he would know what your talking about. How about, what was up with your hair in "Day of the Dead"?
  • JamboJambo Scriptkiddie
    How about you ask that question first, then if he doesn't know what you're on about, slap him and walk away.
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    Just ask him. "What do you want?"
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    How does he get his teeth so white?

    Follow up: Did all that ingratiating smiling make his face sore?
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Ask him which hair gel he used to get that ultra slick look ;)

    On a serious side you could as him about his role in The Gathering as he was on the C&C staff. Did he think he would get called back for the series to continue that role? And was he surprised to be offered a much more challenging role instead?

    Enjoy the day Worf, should be good fun :)

    I know... the others have no shame have they! :D
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    No, really, I'm wondering about the teeth thing!

    And he always had good hair, as well. I've never been quite happy with my hair. Well, one of these days...

    ...I'll go bald and it I'll have to settle for either the Picard look or the Garibaldi look. ;)

    Okay, serious question, serious question....

    Did they make a cast of his head to make the disembodies one we saw on a pike in Into the Fire, or was that made freehand?

    How did he meet JMS? Was it during production of "The Gathering", or years earlier, when he played "Man #1" in an episode of "Murder, She Wrote" in 1984?

    (Really! Look at his [url=http://imdb.com/name/nm0913662/]IMDB page[/url].)


    And, of course, former newscaster Bob Edwards's favorite interview questions:



    Hm.

    Really?

    No!

    He [i]didn't![/i]



    And so on. Questions like that tell the interviewee that your interested, and poke them in the butt to get them to continue talking.
  • bobobobo (A monkey)
    What's he up to? What's next?

    Does he feel B5 has helped or hurt his career?

    How does he fell to fan reaction? Does it freak him out or does he like it?

    Does he enjoy playing bad guys or heroes more?

    What pointers does he have to aspiring actors?

    His appearance was in 1992, not 1984. 1984 is when the show started.
  • MartianDustMartianDust Elite Ranger
    Ummm.........would he ever consider doing Theatre?

    Did anyone from B5 play tricks on him?

    Have you ever had any mad psycho fans? lol. ;)

    Thats all I can think of for now.

    Another important tip for interviewing: Never, never, [i]never[/i] skimp on your research. ;)

    Guys, let's keep the question serious. Don't muddy up the thread with fake questions.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Come on, people! More questions!
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    What other B5 character would you have liked to have played, if you could chose any one?
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Ask him if he felt Mr Morden was really evil, or was more doing what he thought was best for the whole.
  • Mr.GaribaldiMr.Garibaldi Earthforce Officer
    I have a few ideas I think are good:

    "Which B5 character did he enjoy antagonizing the most?"

    "What scene in B5 stands out as his favorite to act out?"

    "Is he sorry his character had to die, in that he cannot really come back to reprise his character?"

    (I for one would love to see Mr Morden come back and piss off the good guys :) )

    Ask him to update [url]www.wasser.com,[/url] I checked it out, its been a few years since someone has touched it!

    There ya go, I'll try to think of more!
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    What aspect about his character does he like the most.

    The least?

    How has is role as Mr. Morden (or even The series in general) affected his views in life?
  • AlaricAlaric Damn kids! Get off my island!
    What's he working on now/next?

    Has he heard anything of the new project JMS has hinted at and is he involved at all?
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    I have 10 questions for Ed Wasser, ok, so I cheated, I didn't come up with them and neither did James Lipton who uses them regularly in his show "Inside the Actor's Studio," but I still think they can give us a snapshot of a person's disposition and state of mind. Anyway, I really don't know any other questions that haven't been asked already. I suppose questions about his thoughts of playing the character of Morden are probably the most obvious ones.

    Oh darn! You're right! :)
  • The Cabl3 GuyThe Cabl3 Guy Elite Ranger
    How do you deal with being in the shoes of an inherently evil character?

    Do you look down upon urself when ur in those shoes?

    What are the challenges to being EVIL!

    Im in a mental hospital how would Morden deal with the situation?

    :shadow1:


    Please ask those questions worf...I owe you a cookie!
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Too late. The interview was yesterday. I don't think Worf got any of our questions in time. Doesn't matter, the ones he asked were good enough, especially the one that mentions movies. :)
  • bobobobo (A monkey)
    He used four of my five! :D
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    We took a list of questions that seemed appropriate and we posted the ones that he answered.
