MHSC_Sean: If you had to compare Sean to a fruit what fruit would he be?
RANDY SPELLING: LOL! I'm gonna pick a cantaloupe, because I think on the surface Sean has definitely developed into a strong character. He's hard on the outside, but deep down on the inside he's very soft, he has a lot of emotion for people that he likes.

ChrisJCH: Your sign is Libra that means loyal and fair do you think that describes your personality at all?

casey103: If you could meet any one person, alive or dead, who would it be?
RANDY SPELLING: This is gonna be a weird answer but I'm gonna answer it truthfully, but I'd have to say Jesus and not just from a religious standpoint, but he's just an amazing being and what he came to do on Earth.

at_the_sunset: What is your favorite TV show other than Sunset Beach?
RANDY SPELLING: I have a few actually. I like 90210 and Melrose. I really like Dawson's Creek. And I saw a show the other night, one of my Dad's shows that I never even knew about called Any Day Now. It's on the Lifetime channel. 90210 and Melrose and Dawson's are very entertaining and realistic to a certain extent and people can relate to them, but Any Day Now you can really relate to them. It's about racism and how things used to be in the south... they were doing flashbacks to the 60s and now. It was something that just touches you... shows you that things aren't that different and they are different. It was really good.

Lu82098: Hey Randy! You're a great actor and the show is kicking but. What's it like working with the fabulous Lesley-Anne Down?
RANDY SPELLING: Thank you. She's incredible to work with, definitely one of my favorite people to work with. It's funny, the first day I was on the show, she came up to me and I was a little intimidated... cause she's Lesley Anne Down! And she told me three dirty jokes! In her English accent! She's so funny! And that broke the ice right there. She's really one of the most incredible women I've ever met.

Isa329: If you had a glass would you consider it half full or half empty?:)
RANDY SPELLING: Oh, definitely half full. I'm a positive thinker.

KnC4ever: Do you plan on ever doing a movie?
RANDY SPELLING: Oh yes. Yes.

__talktomenow__: What do you think of Eddie Cibrian's band, 3DEEP?
RANDY SPELLING: I think it's cool. I'm glad that he's getting to do something that he really likes.

KnC4ever: What kind of movie would you want to do?
RANDY SPELLING: I don't know. I'd like to do a lot of different movies.

CapricornGal26: Randy: What is your best attribute and your worst attribute? (not that you have a worst) :)
RANDY SPELLING: I think my best attribute. I hate saying "my best" cause it sounds cocky, but if I'd have to say I'd say my mind, the way I think. My worst is... well, I can't pick right now.

solarwind15: What is the weirdest thing you've ever gotten from a fan?
RANDY SPELLING: Panties. Big lace velvet panties.

dovepeace: Randy: How many letters do you get in a week?
RANDY SPELLING: Oh you know what, I don't really know, maybe 50 or 60. What happens is, I don't get them all in a bundle. I get them sporadically.. four one day and 28 the next.

Beatnik9: Do you consider yourself a romantic?
RANDY SPELLING: Yeah I do. But I have to be with the right person.

casey103: Who would you consider the most influential person in your life and why?
RANDY SPELLING: My family and friends. Just for different aspects, the affects they have on my morals etc... all that stuff.
