Angel

Special Interview

Exclusive Interview With J, about the cancellation of "Angel."

After the news came down From the WB and Joss himself, I sat down with J and asked him what he thought about the news and managed to squeeze in some fan questions as well. It was a shock for all of us and I couldn’t imagine what he thought so he gave us the exclusive interview below.

Rana: J, we just received the news, is it true about the cancellation of “Angel”?

J: Yes it is true. Joss came to the set and told us all at the same time. We found out Friday, the 13th, that afternoon.

Rana: How do you feel about the decision?

J: Well, First, I am gonna miss coming to work with the people, whom I grown close to over the years, and I work with everyday. I am going to miss my character whom I have grown to love and thirdly and im going to miss the world wide Angel fans and family that has supported us.

Rana: Is there a chance for future projects with the show? Or maybe being picked up by another network?

J: There is already boost talk about doing Angel tv movies in the future but that’s way in the future.

Rana: J, we have watched your character change from a street guy with muscle to the one everyone looks for to handle a situation when Angel is not around and now as a lawyer, everyone still looks to you. You are a key part of the show. How do you feel about your characters transformation since the start?

J: I am always very excited when my character is going to be making changes and there are still more big changes going to be made. Artistically and creatively I feel this season my character is in the zone and this season you will see my character go to place he has never been to before.

Rana: Is there anything you would like to say to your fans regarding the cancellation of the show?

J: Yes, thank you for supporting us, specifically me for the four years I have been on the show. I feel so grateful for that and having met so many of my fans around the world has truly been an amazing experience. Thanks for everything and I don’t want to sound final because I don’t feel this is final. The show is not airing next season but I don’t feel its over.

Rana: Do you have plans for the future? Or have you even had a chance to think about it yet?

J: I have a lot of plans and projects I am working on but the news is so new that I don’t have any immediate plans for anything.

Rana: Did you know since the news came out, that over 12,000 fans have signed a petition for the show to remain on the air?

J: No I didn’t, that’s awesome.

Rana: J, we appreciate the exclusive interview about the shows cancellation but I would like to move on to the questions that have your fans on edge.

J: oh cool.

Rana: So, I have to ask, which one of your cast members came to your party dressed like a hooker?

J: ..smiles.. Amy did. The theme of my birthday party was “Pimps and Hoes” and everyone who was there came dressed as a pimp or a hoe and one of my crew members came as a hoe. It was funny because he is very macho and his name Stan Kernf. He was dressed up like a male prostitute you see on Santa Monica Blvd.

Rana: That sounds like fun. Ok, so now tell me, why do you find yourself between Alexis and James everyday?

J: laughs...my trailer is situated between them..

Rana: very cute.. Now knowing you and your character, I have to ask, when was it you refused to do a scene?

J: I refused to do a scene where Amy and I walk into a bathroom that is infested by rats. I was supposed to be submerged in rats in a bathtub. Needless to say I refused. I told the producer this is not fear factor.

Rana: shiver.. I wouldn’t blame you there. I don’t have anything against them but I wouldn’t have done it either.

Rana: Now tell me, what was the question all four of you guys refused to answer for Ryan Seacrest?

J: smiles Which of us was most likely to ditch on the Bill at a restaurant. When actually none of us would ditch, we would all fight to pay for it.

Rana: J, do you find it hard for fans to distinguish you and your character apart when you are away from the set?

J: No. I am very different from my character on the show. My character is ten times more serious than I am. I am always smiling and having a great time while my character is very serious. When people see me they ask why I don’t smile on the show and I tell them I am in character.

Rana: now that your show focus’s more of you and the cast being inside Wolfram and Hart, has it changed your work hours?

J: Yes, we don’t do graveyard shifts as much as we used to, which sucks for me because I cant function in the morning.

Rana: J, all the fans want to know who you spend most of your time with on and off the set, if anyone?

J: We all hang out together, so its evenly distributed among everyone.

Rana: How was it working with Charisma on the 100th Ep.? Since she’s been gone a while?

J: it was fantastic, just like old time. It felt like she never left.

Rana: Would you work with any of your cast members in another show?

J: In a heartbeat!

Rana: J, thank you so much for taking your time to talk to me and give me the exclusive Interview regarding the cancellation of your show and answering some of the fans questions. It has been a pleasure to interview you. I am sad the show is ending but with your personality and talent, I would say finding work won’t be hard for you at all.

J: Thank you Rana, It was a pleasure and I look forward to our next interview. You take Care and thank you and everyone for your support.
