FROM ABC:

It’s been three months since our AOL three-time-zone-chat with those wild and crazy Two Guys and a Girl, Ryan Reynolds, Richard Ruccolo and Traylor Howard, and since so many of you are still writing in, asking for copies of the transcript, we thought we’d choose the highlights from all three chats and bring you the best of Ryan, Rich and Traylor… We have to warn you, though—- if you’re expecting serious answers out of these three, you’ll be disappointed!

Pizza Ryan: Hello everyone :)

PizzaRichR: Hey, hey!

Traylor H: Hello everyone. Ask us anything you want ; )

ABC Amy: Our first question is one that I'm sure is going to come over and over again, so we'll just get it out of the way now... The two guys on the show are soooo hot. Are any of you two taken???

Pizza Ryan: No, I just have a dog. And hope.

ABC Amy: Rich??

PizzaRichR: I am so single, it's pathetic.

ABC Amy: I feel so sorry for you guys. This is HARD to believe!

PizzaRichR: Believe it, baby.

Traylor H: They really are SO single!

ABC Amy: The next one is for Traylor. AA26Red26 asks: Traylor, are you planning on starring in any films?

Traylor H: It's kind of embarrassing. I have a film coming out in May. It's called "Dirty Work." Starring Norm MacDonald from "Saturday Night Live." It was sadly, Chris Farley's last movie. It's a really fun movie. Go see it!!

ABC Amy: PaprLantrn wants to ask Ryan: How does it feel to be paid all the money you do just for doing something you love?

PizzaRichR: It feels great. :)

Pizza Ryan: It is the sad truth. But I love it.

PizzaRichR: Overworked, overpaid.

Traylor H: Money means nothing to me. Ha ha!

ABC Amy: LEXUSJK asks: I LOVE THE SHOW!! IS IT FUN WORKING WITH EACH OTHER???

Traylor H: Yes. I love working with the two boys. And yes, they are HOT!

Pizza Ryan: Rich is a pain in the butt. And again, so is Traylor. And David, Julius, but hey... I have fun.

PizzaRichR: I didn't even know I had co-stars.

Pizza Ryan: Easy there, tough guy!

ABC Amy: I think Ryan and Traylor are going home now. GiverofGa has one for Traylor... Taylor is fine!! Is she single?

Traylor H: I'm single until I meet you, GiverofGa!

ABC Amy: Guess this is a tough one... Strife96 asks: How did all of you get into acting?

Pizza Ryan: By accident. I walked into a casting call when I was 12 and got the part. In "Fifteen." I also slept with a lot of producers. ;)

PizzaRichR: I wanted to be a CPA, but my parents kept pressuring me into acting.

Traylor H: The guy I was dating at the time, started taking acting classes, so I started, too, because I didn't know what else to do. And then I started doing commercials.

ABC Amy: BillMad84 asks: ARE YOU GUYS GOOD FRIENDS OFF STAGE AS YOU ARE ON STAGE?

Pizza Ryan: Very much so.

Traylor H: When they're not throwing temper tantrums, yes. Actually, we are really good friends.

PizzaRichR: Yes, we have fun anywhere we go.

ABC Amy: Emmadoog asks: Are you guys anything like the characters you play?

Pizza Ryan: In real life I'm more like Pete. And no, I don't take experimental drugs.

PizzaRichR: Sort of like Pete, but not nearly as anal. And I laugh more. And I would never put up with Berg's crap.

Traylor H: I'm pretty feisty like Sharon and I do like hanging out with the guys.

ABC Amy: Aquadance asks: What is your fave TV show other then yours?

Traylor H: "Ally McBeal."

Pizza Ryan: Traylor won't return my phone calls.

PizzaRichR: Ryan and I had a falling out, but we remain friends.

Pizza Ryan: I want my stereo back, Rich!

ABC Amy: And now a question from Slamjamll about the show... Are either of the guys going to start dating the girl?

Traylor H: I like to do yoga and hang out with my dog.

ABC Amy: GLTTRGRL2 asks: Okay, I love the show and I was just wondering, is it hard to keep a straight face? The show is so funny!

Pizza Ryan: We laugh often. And delay production.

PizzaRichR: Traylor makes me laugh more than anyone when I'm in a scene. And Julius.

Pizza Ryan: Thanks, Rich!

Traylor H: One time, I laughed so hard, I literally cried. Rich and I couldn't keep a straight face, but Ryan always can.

ABC Amy: SChwingTo asks: How many different auditions did you go to before you got these parts? You all are excellent, by the way. It's refreshing to see new faces!

PizzaRichR: I had a total of seven auditions, against Ryan's one.
