Kris Pope: It's a mini-series based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson. Kris Pope: I had to go through a month of Dance lessons/rehearsals because my character is an accomplished dancer (quite unlike myself) Lisa: I thought you were the original "Club Kid" ;P Kris Pope: I do alright. This dance was traditional, however, Waltz, Tango, Flamenco, ect, ect.. Lisa: is it going to be a traditional adaptation, or will it have some sort of crazy spin on the story? Kris Pope: The adaptation is fairly traditional. beanz: If there was one thing you could be remembered for what would you want it to be and why? Kris Pope: Remembered for------???

If so, what were they like? Ivy: How do you feel going on national television like MTV Canada with a close buddy of yours like Anthony Montgomery? Do you feel more comfortable or more of a need to fool around? From Ivy the asian 1 at mtv canada with socks. Kris Pope: Hey Socks! We had fun, I guess when you get two people who are friends together on tv and you give them mics----watch out. That show is really chill Yoss: I'm a fan of Anthony on Star Trek Enterprise, how did you get to know him and what do you think of his 'immortality' of being in Star Trek? Kris Pope: Anthony and I met when he was filming 'Popular' with my sister. I think that his role on Star Trek is Fantastic! Yoss: Have you indulged in the Video Game bonanza recently? (GameCube/PS2/Xbox)? Kris Pope: I have a PS2 and yes, I do indulge! Lisa: what is your favorite game? Kris Pope: SSX Tricky all the way! BabyNuckPSYCHO 38 :How do you think Team Canada will do in the Olympics? Thanks :) Kris Pope: Canada Kicks Ass (haven't you seen the T-shirt?) Yoss: I saw "Girls Kick ass" :P Kris Pope: that too! onion1: LOL Lisa: hum.. I think I know someone [Brendan Fehr] with that shirt ;p
Kris Pope: Always be prepared, look the part, and stick to your choices---always. Yoss: How do you do your hair? Do you use a wad of gel or was it just for the show? Sorry, I had to ask. My hair sucks, I gave up and put on hats Kris Pope: Thanks Yoss. They have a wonderful hair department, who work together to get the end result (yeah, basically a wad of gel and some twisting) jei: There is nothing in this world like a good wad of gel beautifulstranger: Did you know/meet any other Dark Angel cast members before you first appeared as Rafer? Kris Pope: Not before, no. Sera: What's it like on the set of DA? Kris Pope: The sets are amazing! onionroach: Did any of the scenes crack you up during filming? Kris Pope: Yeah...the hallway scene in Meow was hilarious and the crystal ball scene in Boo had everyone rolling Lisa: it's a very physical show, did you get any bumps or bruises while you were working? beanz: wow the questions are coming thick and fast now eh? :) onion1: LOL Kris Pope: I can handle it! jei: I loved how your character seem to just go with the flow (In Boo) Kris Pope: Yeah, Rafer's pretty laid back and confused gloz: Have you ever been to Australia? Kris Pope: No, but I lived with a bunch of Australians when I was in England for the summer. Does that qualify?? Yoss: only if they snatched your wallets lol Kris Pope: hahaha---about the wallets beanz: What part of England were you in? I am from London :) beanz: Nice. How did you like it? Soho has an ...interesting culture :) Kris Pope: Yes, absolutely. jei: That was diplomatic :) Kris Pope: diplomacy is the key to appeasement jei: Well said Lisa: care to tell the story about what brought you home early? Kris Pope: You know the story Lisa! It was DA. Rafer called me and I answered. Lisa: lol :) JSmith6285: Have you watched any of the episodes? If so, what was your favorite? Kris Pope: My favorite (biased opinion) was Boo, because we had alot of fun filming the whole thing. Also, the comedic premise of the story was refreshing jei: Tripe eating transgenics was a treat to watch :D Kris Pope: and work with Lisa: That looked like a very fun episode. it gave a new spin on the characters, only possible in dream type stories. jei: I thought so too. I've never scene anything so different in story telling, but then that's Dark Angel Yoss: I felt that episode had you as the straight man amongst chaos, but did you read into that Max was dreaming about you and kept you normal? Kris Pope: I ALWAYS keep it real. Kylia: Do you have a fan e-mail address? Kris Pope: no I don't, but any mail can be sent to my agency by snail mail KrisMTVsockGirl: What kind of kid were you in high school?' Kris Pope: I had a wicked time in high school Lisa: what crowd did you hang with in school? Kris Pope: Really short and skinny until grade 11, 'the little cute guy' needed to grow! Yoss: like a chia pet lol jei: now there is a visual Kris Pope: Our school wasn't that cliquee' and I had all kinds of friends beanz: No doubt the September 11th tragedy in the USA will be burned on the minds of our generation forever. Can you remember where you were when you heard about the terrorist attacks? iaries: :( onion1: great acting... Kris Pope: surreal is the only word that comes to mind. beanz: yes it was unbelievable gloz: What’s it like working with Jensen Ackles? Kris Pope: Ackles is mint. We never actually got to work together, but we became friends outside of work Lisa: Do you have an embarrassing moment on the set story? It doesn't have to be DA Kris Pope: In the hallway scene, JA and I kept falling down and injuring ourselves and laughing. It took a while to get it right. Lisa: How many takes did it take to get it right? Kris Pope: 10 or so beanz: LOL! That scene looked like you needed a stunt double! Lisa: I bet you were sore after that! Kris Pope: yup jei: How do you like all the Fuss and muss that comes with being an actor, do you just put up with it for the craft or do you find all the publicity, casting calls, and whatnot a fun ride? Kris Pope: Every profession carries with it different responsibilities (ups and downs). I love acting and everything about the business really. It's very hard work, but very satisfying when you do a good job. I went through University and earned my degree before starting in the business to get some perspective. BabynuckPsycho: What is your favorite "I AM A CANADIAN" commercial? Kris Pope: 'Joe' was brilliant Lucky: Whose idea was it to guess "Idle Hands" during the charades game in Boo? Kris Pope: We just shot out a bunch of alternatives and they chose that one. Kevin (Joshua) was cracking us all up constantly Kylia: What would you say to teenagers who want to follow their dreams and act? Kris Pope: Once you decide to do it---don't give up, be tenacious and put your heart in everything you do. Success will follow in one way or another. KrisMTVsockGirl: Has anyone recognized you on the streets yet? Kris Pope: Vancouver is a small city, so things like that happen all of the time beanz: How do you feel when it happens? Kris Pope: confused at first, but then flattered because it means that someone cared enough to notice Yoss: What was it like acting with Kevin Durand in all of his makeup? Did he growl during your lines to mess you up? Kris Pope: Kevin growls all the time. It's a game he plays---he likes to scare people walking by when we're on location. You can imagine what the reaction would be from someone who is unaware that we're filming a show..... beanz: LOL Kris Pope: absolutely beanz: so you guys mess around a lot on set? beanz: yeah, uh huh..the truth comes out now huh? ;-) Kris Pope: hard work, beanz. beanz: Trust me we appreciate it! Lisa: Roswell has lots of fans going to watch the location filming do you notice the same problem when you film DA? Kris Pope: The sets are quite closed for the most part (and in relatively secluded locations) some fans watch, however. Lisa say's I'd be there if I knew where you were filming ;P I'm such a groupie Kris Pope: hahahah
Kris Pope: Those two, break up!? I don't know............ Kris Pope: I am getting an indication from the 'warden' that my chat should end. Are there any last questions? * Lisa waves to Mr. Manager :) Kris Pope: hahaha Yoss: In Radar Love, you're very respectful of Max's 'maybe/maybe not' relationship. Does that aspect of Rafer's personality fit you? Kris Pope: Ohhh.....yes I'm a very respectful young man. Kris Pope: Mothers love me jei looks the other way Kris Pope: hahahah beanz: and of course, thank YOU Mr. M :) Kris Pope: Thank you all for having me, again!!!! jei: Thank you Kris, it was great seeing you again beanz: Oh, and come back to London sometime soon Ok Kris? Lisa: Thanks Kris for taking the time for this. I hope we can get you to do this again. Kris Pope: Anytime!!!!!
