Hi girls,
I would like to post a translation that I just did of a chat conversation that George had in France a few years ago with some of his fans. I am not as fluent in French so I do not guarantee that I got everything 100% right, but I loved the chat and thought you might too!
____________________
Good afternoon. George Eads is with us and you can post your questions.
caroline840: CSI takes place in Las Vegas. What is the most beautiful city in the world for you?
GE : Paris is the one city that impressed me the most. I rarely travel, but this is certainly one city that I love very much. I haven’t even been to New York, ever. In Paris, everything is magnificent. The architecture, the art – these are the things I am very susceptible to. In Texas you just have big Superstores.
hirondelle: Good afternoon, do you have other projects besides CSI ? You are very cute, so maybe a romantic comedy? Thank you!
GE: I think that romantic comedies are mostly artificial/phoney. It is always the same scenario. The last romantic comedy that I really appreciated was “When Harry met Sally”.
In any case, I do not have the time to chose other projects right now.
quentin: What do you think about the two spin-offs ?
GE: What ?
quentin: What was it like to film with Quentin Tarantino ?
GE: It is very important to me that the people in France are such fans of the show. In the US, the show is a big success and there are plenty of other shows. It is not often that we get invited to big events across the pond. Filming with Quentin is like being coached by the Master. He is a big fan of the show and he allowed us to push our limits.
Vane4: How did you come to look so beautiful?
GE: Thanks to Mom. She is an amazing woman!
Jessie: During filming,did you grow as close to your crew members as your character did on the show?
GE: We all have our limits, but we all respect each other’s personality and character and there is certainly no distrust since we know each other so well. If I ask one of them a favour, I know how to thank them. For example, I let Greg stay with me for two months, because he had nowhere to live. I have spent a lot of time talking to the other actors about our problems that we may have. Besides, we all have to live with being famous now, which is a special situation and we share that together. [This was very hard to translate, I may have made a few mistakes here.]
corinne: I would love to know if it is difficult to make a show like CSI, which is dealing with things that really happen in life and to show how crimes are being committed. Thank you and I applaud your talent!
GE: When you see me hunched over a dead body you don’t see the whole crew in front and beside of me. I do not smell the odours of death, do not feel the sorrow… It is easy to be tough on television. And I think keeping it real deserves credit. If the fans show their gratitude/appreciation to the show, they also show their respect to the police and the people who are really doing that kind of work.
ludivined: In CSI, will Nick finally fall in love Sarah Sidle?
GE: If people want to see romance, they have to watch another show. If Nick should fall in love on the show, it should only be with a woman whom he truly loves. Nick should be in love with her inner beauty instead of her appearance. I also speak for myself personally here too, of course.
I would love to have a say when it comes to choosing my future love. In season 6, there will only be a love interest for Warrick. But I do understand your craving for a little romance for Nick.
Vegas: Good afternoon George, what do you love doing most during your time off? Stay cool and beautiful!
GE: That’s the motto! I have a very close relationship with Maverick, my Golden Retriever. I love walking with him; I appreciate the quiet and silent moments with him.
g.eads-fan: You are a very good actor. Do you plan to be in another show or movie some time?
GE: After CSI, I would love to make movies. On TV, the pace is very fast.
TonyDanza: Hi George, who are your favourite actors? Who do you consider role models?
GE: Matt Damon, because he is so immersed in his work. I also admire George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and De Nire. I do not have a favourite actor, but there are certain roles that I love. I really love the “Jason Borne” movies. The importance is to really immerse into the role. My definition of a great actor is an actor who is exactly the same on film as he is in real life.
Lafie: Do you still have the reputation of being a ladies-man?
GE: This image does not concern me all too much.
Sus: You earned your first big role for Savannah in 1996. Did you have to work hard for that?
GE: After I left Texas I sold copy machines and to get an audition I had to work really hard. I worked at a gym too for some time. Finally, Aaron Spelling offered me the part of Travis.
Sus: And when do you think you became famous?
GE: I have also had a part in Emergency Room. One day I went to a Burger Place and a girl approached me and said: I recognise you, you are the guy who kissed Juliana Margulies on ER.
Thank you so much George.
GE: Thank you! See you soon !
Comment on the chat by someone: This is a very humble interview with George. It just really bothered me how one fan asked him to explain, how he looks so beautiful. How stupid!
