Q: Having Come from theater, was it a huge leap to a big studio
                                             movie like The Mummy?

                                             A: Yeah. The fellows in my theater company were just disgusted
                                             by me. They said I was selling out in such a major way.

                                             Q: Still, You Often Opt for the Intimate Projects Like the
                                             Upcoming Art-House Film, The Taste of Sunshine. What's
                                             Different About Working on Those?

                                             A: There's not a huge difference. You're still just playing a part.
                                             Although, in The Mummy, there were thousands of extras and
                                             all of that blue screen and computer-generated stuff.

                                             Q: Blue Screen Work Must Be Tough. Is It Difficult to Act Like
                                             There's Something There When There Isn't?

                                             A: I'd love to say it's really taxing, but it's not. It's sort of like
                                             being a child. The director says, Imagine there's a great, big
                                             dripping putrefying mummy walking toward you. But it's a little
                                             tiring, because with an actor you get something back. With blue
                                             screen, you get nothing.

                                             Q: Even So, Working with Nothing's Gotta Be Better Than
                                             Working with Notoriously Stinky Camels?

                                             A: I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for
                                             being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible,
                                             horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the
                                             relationship between horses and humans.

                                             Horses Look a Lot Easier to Ride, Too.

                                             A: Yeah. The galloping scene was tough. It hurts progressively
                                             more every time. You get really bad sores on your arse, like
                                             welts.

                                             Q: Ouch. Was Learning Egyptian Any Less Painful of a Process?

                                             A: Well, it's ancient Egyptian, and since nobody knows what
                                             ancient Egyptian really sounded like, we took the Hollywood
                                             liberty of making it up.

                                             Q: Had Us Fooled. Was It a Stretch to Play Evelyn As Such a
                                             klutz?

                                             A: I'm quite fumbly. She was actually incredibly close to home in
                                             lots of ways.

                                             Q: Really? Ever Get Really Drunk and Make a Fool of Yourself
                                             Like She Does?

                                             A: I'm better with the liquor. Let's just say we're alike, except
                                             that I've been kissed before and I can hold my liquor.

                                             Q: Did You Get to Kiss Keanu in Chain Reaction?

                                             A: I think we had a little tiny kiss at the end. Or did we? I can't
                                             recall. It was obviously very memorable.

                                             Q: Well, Then, the Question Is, Who's a Better Kisser, Keanu or
                                             Brendan?

                                             A: Actually, I don't think I did kiss Keanu. So, Brendan, it has to
                                             be.
