Transcript of Seth Green's
Chat @ E!Online


The following is a variance of the original transcript of Seth's chat @ E!Online on Monday, July 27, 1998. The basic content of this text was not diminished in any way but words were added within brackets to add clarity to Seth's responses.

pj4ever: I heard that the sequel to Austin Powers is being made. Is that true? If so, are you in it? (I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!)

Seth Green: Well, thank you for being my biggest fan. The Austin Powers sequel is in development right now, and I've read two completely different versions of the script. I haven't had any meetings in it, but my character is in it.

tanna9789: What can you tell us about your new movie Enemy of the State?

Seth Green: First of all, it's not my movie. It's Will Smith and Gene Hackman's. I have a really small part, but the reason I wanted to do it is because Tony Scott is one of the best action directors in the world. Will is being hunted by the government; I'm part of the team pursuing him.

skittery: I saw you on Mad About You. How cool was it to work with Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser?

Seth Green: Super cool. They were great.

john_bosley: Seth, what was it like working with Woody Allen?

Seth Green: Great. I was 12--it's all very vague.

ozgirl68: What is Sarah Michelle Gellar really like?

Seth Green: She's really about seven-foot-two and weighs 400 pounds. We have fantastic lighting technicians and camera operators. That's why no one recognizes her in public.

ginag: What's the dilly? Is your werewolf status gonna get between you and Willow?

Seth Green: It hasn't seemed to.

lauraliz: How will we know if Seth is answering our questions?

Seth Green: What kind of proof do you need?

jaime_k: Was it hard not to laugh while filming Austin Powers?

Seth Green: Yeah. You do see me laugh in the scene where Mike is coming at me with his arms outstretched, saying,"Don't look at me like I'm Frankenstein." I'm clearly smiling.

miss_wildchild: What's in store for Willow and Oz?

Seth Green: Your guess is as good as mine. I'd just like to stay on the show.

marie_elizabeth: I know this is terribly superficial of me, but it's unavoidable in the business: How tall are you? A lot of directors have told me I would not get parts because of being slightly tall for a girl. I guess if that's the case, we'll never be matched up!

Seth Green: I'm five-four. Hey, Rene Russo walked in a ditch when she filmed Freejack with Emilio Estevez. The great thing about this business is it's not about how you look, it's how they can make you look.

alesha14: Who do you hang out with the most on the Buffy set?

Seth Green: Alyson, because we've known each other for so long. We did My Stepmother Is an Alien together. We have a great rapport. Plus, we have all our scenes together.

mandee_: How did you like being on Howie Mandel's new show?

Seth Green: It was really, really cool to sit next to Samuel L. Jackson.

soon_to_be: Have you had any part in the direction of any of the Buffy episodes?

Seth Green: No, and a common misconception is that Bruce Seth Green [Buffy director] and I are the same person.

louey14: We've all heard about Alyson Hannigan pantsing Nicholas Brendon, but have you participated in any pranks on the set?

Seth Green: Yeah, I pantsed Nicholas, too. No, I'm kidding. But I'm expecting a lot of rookie pranks at my expense, since I'm the new guy on the show.

alyson1: What is your favorite movie that you've acted in?

Seth Green: Hmmm...that's tough. It would depend on favorite to actually watch as a film or favorite to have acted in. I had a really good time on Can't Hardly Wait. He was a fun character. The last couple of things I've done--Enemy of the State, Stonebrook, Idle Hands and Austin Powers--have all been great experiences and movies that I really like.

seth_is_hot: What was your favorite radio station in Philly?

Seth Green: I don't know. My older sister kind of made me listen to whatever was her favorite station.

amanda_beckett: I have a major crush on you, and I was wondering if you would be my boyfriend?

Seth Green: I appreciate the sentiment, but don't you think that's a little forward and spontaneous--and maybe ill-informed. For all you know, I could be a deranged lunatic.

cbtob: Who would you rather be kissing: Willow (Aly Hannigan) or Denise (Lauren Embrose)?

Seth Green: Tony Head, instead.

mandee_: You are awesome!! You have the cutest smile and the most gorgeous eyes! What is your favorite color, and what is your favorite place to be?

Seth Green: Thanks for the compliment. My plastic surgeon and my contact lens technician would be very proud. I don't really have a favorite color. And my favorite place to be is somewhere comfortable with people I like.

willow377: Can you tell us about Idle Hands?

Seth Green: It stars Devon Sawa and Vivica A. Fox. It's about a boy (Devon) whose hand becomes possessed by some kind of evil and makes him kill people without being aware of it. He kills Elden and me, and we become zombies and help him defeat the evil...or do we?

shimmershell: Were you the guy in the Rally's commercial a long time ago?

Seth Green: Yeah. Cha-chinggg...

soon_to_be: In Can't Hardly Wait, you were not in very many scenes with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Did you see her much on the set?

Seth Green: No. I actually had a joke that we were like Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer in Ladyhawk. We had no scenes together, so we didn't even see each other much. I'd be leaving when she was arriving, and we'd be, like, "Hey, see ya."

sarahgellar: When's your birthday?

Seth Green: February 8.

lauraliz: Who would your ideal woman be?

Seth Green: One I like who likes me back.

liljai98: Why were you late?

Seth Green: Traffic in L.A. is exactly what you'd expect it to be.

veradanthi: Do you have a significant other?

Seth Green: No.

druscilla00: How was it being interviewed by Conan? Was he cool?

Seth Green: Conan was so cool. He's exactly what I wanted. I'm a huge fan of the show, and I was very pleased with how it went.

amanda_beckett: Will there be an unedited version of Can't Hardly Wait available when it comes out on video? I want to see Crying Drunk Girl!

Seth Green: Who doesn't? Jennifer Elise Cox did a great job in the movie, but she got cut because the MPAA wouldn't allow us to have anyone drinking--and the Crying Drunk Girl sort of got to the heart of the matter. There's loose talk of a director's cut, because a lot of scenes were cut due to time and story.

rodenta1: Is your hair naturally red?

Seth Green: Yeah.

buffy_fan: I heard you're in Scream 3. Is that true?

Seth Green: Maybe. But if so, no one's told me.

cherrytea: Who do you think should be together: Xander and Willow, Oz and Will, Xander and Buffy or Xander and Cordy?

Seth Green: I really don't feel I'm in a qualified place to make that decision.

lovinseth: Do you ever get tired of being so damn fine?

Seth Green: Exhausted.

jcvegas: When are your new movies coming out?

Seth Green: Enemy of the State comes out at Thanksgiving. Stonebrook is still seeking distribution; we're going to go to some festivals. And Idle Hands won't be out for a while--probably next year.

angelsgirl2: How long did it take you to put on the werewolf costume?

Seth Green: Well, the makeup I had to wear took six hours, but we're hoping to streamline it if I ever have to do it again.

p_o_y: What's your favorite episode of Buffy?

Seth Green: I think it's called "Innocence." It's the one where David turns into a bad guy. I also like the one called "Dark Past," where you find out all about Giles.

i_am_sharon: Why are you always so afraid that you're going to get kicked off Buffy? Fake, or sincere modesty?

Seth Green: Because every single job you ever take is tenuous. You're never in a permanent situation. If you're constantly keeping an audition-level of performance, no one can say you didn't do your best.

greenphreak: We're you ticked at all when that Arianna Huffington did most of the talking on Politically Incorrect?

Seth Green: No, I was pretty into her. We were holding hands between segments.

kagey: Stonebrook looks really interesting.

Seth Green: What is your character, Cornelius, like? I don't know--something you've never seen me do before.

gentleben: Is Sarah mean? Be honest!

Seth Green: Not to me.

btms: What color nail polish are you wearing in "Becoming 2?"

Seth Green: I don't know. They have a bunch of polish for me. It's all pretty dark colors, though. Usually, we just pick whatever looks the prettiest.

snwbrd105: What is your favorite kind of cereal?

Seth Green: Boo Berry.

clover21: Did you and Alyson keep in touch all of these years between My Stepmother Is an Alien and Buffy?

Seth Green: Yep. That's why we're friends.

kij: Did you keep those cool goggles you wore in CHW?

Seth Green: No, I set them on fire.

xmungrlx: Do you get noticed more now when you're on the street? By the way, did you know you're a sweetheart?

Seth Green: Sure. Maybe. I don't know. As far as being a sweetheart, I try to be as nice to people as I want them to be to me.

luckybv: What kind of music do you listen to?

Seth Green: Lots of different music. It really depends on my mood.

skittery: Anthony Head answered this question by saying, "Nothing." What's your response to it?

Seth Green: What do you like to do when relaxing at home? Um...relax.

louey14: How old are you? (I read you were 19, but you seem older.)

Seth Green: Where did you read that I was 19? I'm, like, 56, kiddo.

siko_child: Hey, Seth! Are you and Breckin Meyer best friends?

Seth Green: Yeah, Breckin is one of my best friends. We have fun.

cuke: In the season finale, your character wore a bowling shirt with the name "Larry" stiched on it when he visited Willow in the hospital. Any reason why?

Seth Green: I don't remember. I was so drunk that day.

cuke: Any chance Jamie Kennedy (of Scream fame) will ever guest on Buffy?

Seth Green: I hope so. I'd like to see that.

special_oz: Was that a Medic Alert bracelet on your wrist during Conan and Politically Incorrect?

Seth Green: Yes. It's nothing cool like leprosy or diabetes, though.

kate_movie_gurl: Does Oz have a last name, and is Oz his real full name?

Seth Green: Couldn't tell ya.

ladybug777: The animal-cracker scene between you and Willow was brilliant! What is your favorite scene?

Seth Green: I like the scene in the van outside the armory with Oz and Willow--the "Innocence" episode--because that's the first time you get a feel for what Oz is all about and what his relationship with Willow is going to be like. And I also really like the scene in the birthday party episode where we all jump and yell "surprise," and Sarah's, like, killing vampires.

kaps101: If you could be stuck in an elevator for five hours with anyone, who would it be?

Seth Green: Bruce Willis.

btms: Do you find over the years that the people you encounter are superficial? And isn't it hard getting to achieve a real level of friendship when you live a star's life?

Seth Green: You kind of get back what you put out. So...

puffdawnie: What's your favorite line from Shaft?

Seth Green: Uh, there's so many to choose from--probably anything that has "sucka" in it.

liljai98: Boxers, briefs or, dare I ask, commando [nothing at all]?

Seth Green: I'm sure if Alyson has her way, the entire set will find out at the same time.

abacadaba: Do you like Dawson's Creek, and do you know anyone on the show?

Seth Green: Yeah, I think that show is pretty good. Michelle Williams and I are friends.

kate_movie_gurl: Were you a fan of the show before you were cast as Oz?

Seth Green: I'd seen the pilot. I don't watch a lot of TV.

missyandliz: Just out of curiosity, what's your biggest fear?

Seth Green: Ignorance.

snwbrd105: What, in your opinion, is the best piece of work you've ever done?

Seth Green: I did this play in San Diego called American Buffalo; I think that was the best.

unicornfalls: Do you know how to play the guitar in real life?

Seth Green: I'm learning.

lynzgirl: I just wanted to say, I love the hair. What do you use to fix it? It just looks so good!

Seth Green: Thanks. You know, I wash it. Sometimes I put stuff in it.

lovewacky: Did you understand the X-Files movie?

Seth Green: Let's just say I enjoyed the X-Files movie.

griffingirl: Are my questions even getting through?

Seth Green: Yeah. Your questions are getting through. I'm hearing them loud and clear.

jaws007: Do you work out?

Seth Green: Sometimes. Me, Mark Wahlberg and Eric Nies all work out together in a basement gym in downtown Los Angeles. It's nice to have two big guys pushing you to your limits.

nickbear: Do you and Mike Myers hang out a lot?

Seth Green: No. I've seen him a couple of times publicly. We don't chitchat or anything.

i_am_sharon: Are you in 54 with Breckin?

Seth Green: No.

strange_one_: Are you sick of being asked the same questions in every chat?

Seth Green: Not yet.

pblothos: Will you still have the van in season three?

Seth Green: A new one. The van changes more often than the hair.

minaclare: Do you want to have the chance to punch Nick Brendon on Buffy again?

Seth Green: If it makes sense for the story.

sexx_pac: In a Celebrity Deathmatch, who would win--you or him?

Seth Green: I don't know. Nick's probably got the drop on me in height and weight, but I don't know...I don't fight very fair. What's with everyone trying to fuel this antagonism between Nick and me? We love each other.

gentleben: When was the last time you waxed the yacht?

Seth Green: What the hell does that mean?? I don't have a yacht. I don't have any aquatic equipment.

buffy_fan: Do you have any bad habits?

Seth Green: Bad habits? Yeah, lying in interviews.

missteri: I'm a big fan of capitalism, exploitation and media bastardization...How 'bout you?

Seth Green: Aren't we all?

Seth Green: I have to go now, but it's been a pleasure
