Asylum 4 report Day II
MOST IMPORTANT - Jim was very vehement in saying that the Kripmaster is by no means out of the picture for season 6! He said Kripke remains and integral part of the show – by no means is he leaving! You have only seen the first movement of this symphony….
So Jim highlights:
Who would he choose to beat up in a fight, Jared or Jensen? Neither, they are both bigger than him and he ain’t Bobby!! Bobby might be able to kick their asses, but ole Jim can’t (and besides, he loves them both – Sam and Dean might deserve a kicking but not J2). He then added re: Jared – “you are talking to the guy who held Jared’s pectoral muscles in his hand and he’s made of solid steel!”
Q: do you think the Apocalypse could have been averted if Sam had had his haircut, or has his hair got special powers?
A: the only thing about that boy that has special powers is his intestines! Believe me, I know, I’ve worked with the guy…
Both Traci and Alona made several comments about Jared’s extremely smelly farting – and Alona complained that if you see her face screwed up in the death kiss scene, that wasn’t because she was finding Jensen’s lush lips unpleasant but because Jared had just farted off set!
Jim blamed his dancing the Macarena on having 3 hours sleep and being high on cough medicine – “if I take my trousers off over my head, please don’t YouTube it!”
And half way through his set Traci ran on and snogged him in revenge for his snog the day before – he didn’t seem to mind and I’m sure that will be on YouTube by now..
Alona had her mum in the audience, Mark had his wife with him (sweet!). Traci had a tough childhood and choked up a little talking about it, while Alona was nearly reduced to tears when the 8 year old little girl (who asked questions at every session I saw) asked her about being bullied, and then told everyone she was being picked on at school sniff.
Alona auditioned for Glee, and would still love to be on it, Traci would love to play a Rizzo-like character as a teacher-love-interest for Mr Schuster.
Traci has had paranormal experiences including being pinned down by a ghostly figure in a house that was supposed to be haunted that she and her partner rented. She’s been in a band called Groove Goddesses – west African boogie beats! (I expect some of you already know this stuff but I didn’t!)
Traci also has a back-story for Pamela’s Jesse tattoo but she won’t say what it is because she thinks Kripke will then create something different because he’s a bastard like that.
Kurt Fuller highlights:
His friend produces Grey’s Anatomy and he’d asked for a part – then found his ‘friend’ had written him in as a man with constipation!
If Zach had to destroy Sesame Street he’d save Big Bird, no question.
Oh – he WILL BE RETURNING TO GLEE! He was very happy about that – he loves working with Jane Lynch, she is a very funny lady. He googled himself and was chuffed to find his name mentioned by her in an interview, he was very pleased she’d remembered him.
He told a funny story about being recognised in a queue in Disneyland “by people from Ohio who’d never seen anyone from TV before and probably had never realised they were real!” I chuckled at that and thought of you Terri!
Best film he worked on – Ghostbusters II – loves Sigourney Weaver – worst was Van Wilder III (please don’t watch it) and having a bulldog sit on his face….
Lucifer highlights:
Mark played Lucifer a lot on stage – he kept using a very deep voice and talking about evil things.
A baby cried at the back of the room and he said all soft and nice “Don’t cry little baby, I’m not going to hurt you…I might eat you though…”
He was teasing the guy who was hosting his session about him being gay and wanting to be Lucifer’s meatsuit (very much the double ententre!).
Q: If Lucifer came to him and asking him to be his meatsuit, what would he say?
A: Fuck off – I’m not daft!
Best bit about being in the Big Lebowksi – dunking Jeff Bridges head in the toilet (many times for many takes…)
He didn’t deliberately gel his hair to look like devil horns the previous day and hadn’t even realised it looked like that until his wife pointed it out to him in the evening.
Q: Who or what is your inspiration?
A: in a weird wee voice “the baby Jesus….”
My personal highlights for Day II – getting my photo taken with Zachariah and Lucifer – whoo hoo!
Getting my photo with big Jim and tall Traci…hugs from Jim, what a nice man.
Queuing for Zach and Lucifer’s autographs, having Mark tell me he thought the photo I’d made for him was great, and having Kurt get me to autograph the drabble picture I made for him (hee hee, blushes!!)
