Fab's appearance on 10 to Watch: StarTV, April 6th, 2003
He is SO
cute!
Awwww!
I
auditioned for the school play, which was Grease, and I got the part.
I could play the guitar and sing, and I was really excited about it. And then
I discovered that I could act. I'd never taken an acting lesson, it was very
natural to me,
and I think the first time I made an audience laugh, it was over. I just wanted
that.
Making movies with his friends!
The first year that I was acting professionally, the first year that I had an agent
and I was going out on auditions, that summer was really dry for me, and I just
went,"Okay, I'm going to make my own movie," and I was probably 17 years
old. So I got a video
camera and got a bunch of friends together and over that summer, we made a movie.
I
actually finished it, and scored it, and put it together and it was an amazing
experience.
On set of
Hollywood North with Jennifer Tilly
"I play a method-y actor who, in the movie-within-the-movie,
plays a Columbian revolutionary, and it was just the most fun.
Me and Jennifer Tilly have these crazy, over-the-top love scenes
that are just hilarious."
There
are three things I am recognized most from. One is a TV show called Ready
or Not that
I was on. Another is Waydowntown, and another is Queer As Folk.
With Waydowntown, this
guy completely freaks out on the street. "You're that...guy...that guy...in
that movie...with
the building...that's my stupid life!" With QAF, this 12-year
old girl comes up and says,
"Me and my mom watch your show all the time." And I'm like, "Hiiiii...,"
you know, because of
the nature of the show, I'm like, you and your mom have seen me pretty much
naked, you know,
having sex with a guy. Which is alright with most people, but you're talking
to a 12-year old, right?
As
an actor, the thing you look for is the chance to jump off a cliff, essentially,
the chance to sort of put blinders on and go. I'm this person in these, whatever,
in these 30 seconds that we're shooting this thing, I'm this person. I really
got to experience that with QAF and I got to go wherever I needed to
go. And I promised myself I wouldn't do it in a fearful way. I promised myself
that if I did this show, I'd go the distance and I really did. I felt like I
really did.
