TVGLive2: Hi Brian! Thanks for coming this evening!
TVG Krause: Hi, everybody. Thanks for having me. Hope you enjoy the show!
Question: How do you relate to your character Leo?
TVG Krause: It's hard to say...I'd say my honesty. Leo to me is a real likable character, the way they write him. So, I just try to be myself, and play off the girls. Be as relaxed as possible.
Question: HI THIS IS MELISSA,YOUR #1 FAN,THIS IS A QUESTION THAT EVERY GIRL WANTS TO KNOW:DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND IF YOU DO WHO IS SHE?
TVG Krause: I'll be celebrating my five year anniversary this summer with my wife, Beth. Sorry...
TVGLive2: Right now, we're talking with Brian Krause from the series, Charmed. Send questions.
Question: First I would like to say that I think you are an awsome actor. Charmed is the best show, I am actually watching it as we are talking. My question is what is the funniest thing that happened while shooting an episode of charmed?
TVG Krause: Every day is a riot when we're on the set. To pick one thing out and to say that was the funniest ever is hard to do. Because all three of the girls are really funny and talented. So to pick one thing is really hard. But, one embarrassing thing that happened to me... it might be in tonight's episode, or maybe next week's...
TVG Krause: Prue walks in on me while I'm taking a shower, and she's supposed to have a look of shock when she sees everything. And that turned into something very funny... and very embarrassing.
Question: First off, you are soo cute, wow teeny-bopper flash back! Ok, What is your favorite episode of Charmed, can you watch yourself on TV or are you embarassed?
TVG Krause: Gosh... I have a tie for favorites. There's a bunch. There's a couple that we've shot that haven't aired yet, leading all the way up to the end of the season. The season finale is going to be great! There's a genie, played by French Stewart. He's amazingly talented and very funny. And Shannon directed that episode. So, it made it really fun. There were extra laughs every day. And, it's hard for me to watch myself on TV. I'm so critical of everything. I have to leave the room sometimes.
TVGLive2: Right now, we're talking with Brian Krause from the series, Charmed.
Question: Brian, what is your favorite television show, (besides Charmed, of course).
TVG Krause: With my four-year old son, I find myself watching a lot of Cartoon Network. I love NYPD Blue. I think it's a great show. Homicide...Beyond that, I watch Discovery, TNT and a lot of Sports Center.
Question: How did you get your start in the acting business?
TVG Krause: In junior high school, I took drama the second semester as an elective. When I went into high school, I decided to stay in drama. I figured it was an easy "A."
TVG Krause: My mom saw an article in the paper when I was a freshman for a commerical acting workshop in Costa Mesa, CA. So, I didn't really want to do it. I was more involved in sports and trying to fit in at school
TVG Krause: So, reluctantly, I went to the audition to get into the class. I was in that class for two months, got a head shot, put a resume together, and then submitted my picture and resume to agents. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have an agency interested in me. So, after the commericial workshop, there was another article in the paper for an actor's workshop, which was closer to my home, and actually had scene study and cold readings. So, I attended there for the next five and a half years, throughout high school.
TVG Krause: Did a year in community college, tried to play soccer, figured I was a pro. I wasn't. So, I decided to take a year off from college and pursue acting, since I'd been doing it all along. Got reorganized, focused, had a goal... and got lucky. Within two months, I got my SAG card doing a commericial. But, I'd been auditioning for 16 years. So, I had to work for it.
TVG Krause: Sorry... I'd been auditioning since I was 16. I got lucky.
TVGLive2: Thank you Brian! We had a great time! Please come back soon and talk with us again!
TVG Krause: Thanks everybody for coming online! And for spending time with me. I would love to come back and have another chance to answer more of your questions... and give you more clues and insights.
TVG Krause: Keep watching! I appreciate all of you. Thank you.
