Steven4177:      (2) not well

THE CH0SEN 0NE:  (2) ta got to click the ask questions button .. to talk to

him

TVG Krause:      I'd say my honesty.

Speedie527:      (2) omg

TVG Krause:      Leo to me is a real likable character, the way they write him.

TVG Krause:      So, I just try to be myself, and play off the girls.

TVG Krause:      Be as relaxed as possible.

Question:      H Brian this is Laura I am your biggest fan! Okay my question is

Question:      do you belive in all that super nautral stuff?

TVG Krause:      I do believe that there are cultures around the world that do

practice magic and

TVG Krause:      get some results from it.

TVG Krause:      But, in America, I have yet to see anything that would get me to

believe it in it here.

Speedie527:      (2) omg

TVG Krause:      Definitely what we do on our show is a lot of great special

effects.

Steven4177:      (2) a lot of fake stuff

Speedie527:      (2) yeah

Question:      HI THIS IS MELISSA,YOUR #1 FAN,THIS IS A QUESTION THAT EVERY GIRL

TVGLive2:      Right now, we're talking with Brian Krause from the series,

Charmed. Send questions.

Momo2EFC:      (2) it's taking him quite a whole to answer the next question....

Question:      First I would like to say that I think you are an awsome actor.

Question:      Charmed is the best show, I am actually watching it as we are

Question:      talking.  My question is what is the funniest thing that happend

Question:      while shooting an episode of charmed?

TVG Krause:      Every day is a riot when we're on the set.

Speedie527:      (2) really

TVG Krause:      To pick one thing out and to say that was the funniest ever is

hard to do.

TVG Krause:      Because all three of the girls are really funny and talented.

TVG Krause:      So to pick one thing is really hard.

TVG Krause:      But, one embarrassing thing that happened to me... it might be in

tonight's episode, or

TVG Krause:      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

TVG Krause:      when she sees everything.

TVG Krause:      And that turned into something very funny... and very

embarrassing.

Question:      Brian:

Question:      other shows?

THE CH0SEN 0NE:  (2) nope ..

THE CH0SEN 0NE:  (2) ask him.

Saphiresh:      (2) frogger are you from indiana?

TVG Krause:      When I went into high school, I decided to stay in drama. I

figured it was an easy "A." :)

Ceilia72:      (2) whats your sons name

TVG Krause:      My mom saw an article in the paper when I was a freshman for a

commerical acting workshop

TVG Krause:      in Costa Mesa, CA.

THE CH0SEN 0NE:  (2) ya gotta ask for that button over there

Saphiresh:      (2) you have to click that one button so he can see you

TVG Krause:      So, I didn't really want to do it. I was more involved in sports

and trying to fit in at

TVG Krause:      school

TVG Krause:      So, reluctantly, I went to the audition to get into the class.

TVG Krause:      I was in that class for two months, got a head shot, put a resume

together, and then

Saphiresh:      (2) fit in???how could he NOT fit in with a body like that?

TVG Krause:      submitted my picture and resume to agents.

TVG Krause:      Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have an agency interested in

me.

TVG Krause:      So, after the commericial workshop, there was another article in

the paper for

TVG Krause:      an actor's workshop, which was closer to my home, and actually

had scene study

TVG Krause:      and cold readings.

Goku4u2000:      (2) which row am i on

THE CH0SEN 0NE:  (2) 2

TVG Krause:      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.

Falconfluff:      (2) Shush!

TVG Krause:      I wasn't.

SubTalent:      (2) wah?

TVG Krause:      So, I decided to take a year off from college and pursue acting,

since I'd been doing it

TVG Krause:      all along.

Falconfluff:      (2) Don't make fun of my name

TVG Krause:      Got reorganized, focused, had a goal... and got lucky.

SubTalent:      (2) I'm not, I thought it was good

Falconfluff:      (2) oh thankx

SubTalent:      (2) made me laugh

TVG Krause:      Within two months, I got my SAG card doing a commericial.

SubTalent:      (2) that means Screen Actors Guild

TVG Krause:      But, I'd been auditioning for 16 years. So, I had to work for it.

SubTalent:      (2) wow, 16 years of rejection

SubTalent:      (2) that must have ben harsh

TVG Krause:      Sorry... I'd been auditioning since I was 16.

TVG Krause:      I got lucky.

Question:      Can you give us some spoilers or story arcs for season three?  Has

Question:      anything been revealed about the direction of the show?

MChris9931:      (2) Hey. I just found Brian's official web page. Anyone want it?

SLeoFan1:      (2) www.brian-krause.com

TVG Krause:      As far as next season, I am uninformed as to any storylines or

direction in which they'd

TVG Krause:      like to take the show.

TVG Krause:      I think if you follow the show for the rest of the season, you

will be able to possibly

TVG Krause:      come to some conclusion as to where you think it will go.

TVG Krause:      The rest of this season should be really interesting.

TVG Krause:      And fun. :)
