Q&A WITH VINCENT KARTHEISER

Teen Beat

Teen Beat: What have you been up to lately?

Vincent: Same old stuff, different day. I just got out of a TV show with a hundred screaming girls! The Dini Petty Show.

Teen Beat: How would you describe Mastermind?

Vincent: I play a 16-year-old rebellious kid. He goes to drop his sister
off at school and Patrick Stewart is taking over the school with a group of
thugs.My character Ozzie Paxton, who knows the school quite well after
being expelled from it, decides to try to foil their plot.It's kind of like Die Hard quick, smart and witty.

Teen Beat: Any stunts like in Alaska?

Vincent: A couple of good ones. I fall down a chimney, hang from a gutter
and climb a wall. I did some of them , but I didn't do most of the
skateboarding .And, obviously, I had a stunt double for a lot of the scenes
with guns and fire.

Teen Beat: What was it like working with Patrick Stewart?

Vincent: He was really cool. He likes Beavis & Butthead. I found that quit
weird. He's a proper English gentleman, but he had a Beavis & Butthead
calendar and poster. So he really digs them, and that was some common
ground to being on, then we went on to speak of Star Trek and all sorts of
fun stuff. He's a terrific actor and he plays a really bad guy.    

Teen Beat: What do you think the readers will like about the movie?

Vincent: It's a fun movie. I think this is a movie that basically, you
can't go to and not smile at. It's fast moving and fun. It's exiting and
there's also a fair amount of humor.

Teen Beat: Are you working on anything else right now?

Vincent: No, I'm just finishing high school. Perhaps something this summer.

Teen Beat: Are you planning on going to college?

Vincent: Yes I'm going to go to UCLA so I can continue with the movies.

Teen Beat: Are you sticking to movies or are you considering TV as well?

Vincent: Oh, no, I'm sticking to movies.

Teen Beat: What if a really good pilot came along?

Vincent: Too bad. I can't do that. I can't lock myself into one role. I
need to constantly be changing. Plus, that's a year-round thing and I only
like to work three months out of the year.

Teen Beat: If you could pick your next role, what would it be?

Vincent: Drama. Some thing challenging, a little more dangerous.

Teen Beat: Now that you've worked with two great veteran actors,What's the
most thing important lesson you've learned from either of them?

Vincent: I'd have to say Charlton Heston taught me how to do interviews.
Patrick Stewart taught me how important it is to be light-hearted. He's a
serious actor, but he's got a sense of humor too.

Teen Beat: Are you dating anybody right now?

Vincent: No.

Thank you again Corpse!
