MICHAEL LOMENDA by HAIILEE LAUTENBACH
Tell us who you are? Where are you from, how you got started in acting...etc? I was born and raised in small town Alberta, Canada. My dad was a pro-hockey player with the W.H.A. in the 70’s and retired to work in the oilfield and my mom ran her own hairstyling salon. I have a brother who’s 6’3”, 220, size 13 feet and works with tiny little babies at a neonatal ward in Montreal. He basically nurses critically sick babies back to health so they can go home with their folks. I’m a proud brother. I played piano classically and other instruments and acted in High School, but never really sang ‘till my first year of college when I snagged a role in the musical at the last minute when the guy they’d cast couldn’t handle the singing. That same year, I auditioned for Sheridan College as practice for the following years auditions circuit. In spite of not being able to sing above a middle C, they directly accepted me. Three years later I graduated and was working in the business in Toronto. Since then I’ve been really lucky to perform around the world mostly in musical theatre but also a bit as a director, musical director, and in the studio doing voice over work. Tell us who you are? Where are you from, how you got started in acting...etc? I’d been very lucky to be working fairly steadily as a music theatre performer playing lead roles across Canada previous to Jersey Boys, but at 28, when I was cast in the Original Canadian Company of Jersey Boys, it was my first big gig in downtown Toronto, where I lived. It was definitely a huge deal for me and a massive learning experience Tell us how Clint Eastwood came to cast you as the role of Nick Massi in the upcoming Jersey Boys film? I think I was cast largely due to him seeing the show in San Fran at the Curran theater when I was there performing with the Jersey Boys First National Tour. Mr Eastwood appeared one day at our matinee about two weeks before our run was ending. I didn’t believe he was there until, 3/4s of the way through the show, someone texted me a pic of him in the lobby. He
came backstage afterward, said he really enjoyed the show, we shook hands, took pictures, and he left. I, in all honestly, assumed the movie had been cast already and he was just brushing up on the show before he started shooting. I’m a Canadian with no film experience; there’s no way I’m getting cast in a Clint Eastwood film. But a couple weeks later I got a call to audition in New York so I flew down from Toronto. Then, I got the most incredible phone-call of my career saying I’d booked the film and soon thereafter sitting in an office on the Warner Brothers Lot with Mr. Eastwood chatting about the show, Nick Massi’s bass guitars, and the fact that a small part of his film, Unforgiven, was shot on my uncle’s land in Drumheller, Alberta. Crazy.
SUIT MOODS OF NORWAY TIE LILLI DACHE
Clint Eastwood is notorious for only doing one take so the best scene only needs to be shot once. What was your experience with this? He definitely likes to move quick. I appreciate where he’s coming from - I find if I get into my head too much as an actor, I can get in my own way. It creates a very quick focussed vibe on set and although he moves quickly, he still allows room to experiment and collaborate. He’s still very much a kid at heart having a blast doing what he does best. I think the craziest thing for me was the first time he asked me if I was happy with the takes and could we move on. Of course my default answer was always, “If you’re happy, Boss, I’m happy”. We shot a lot of the scenes in the movie only a couple of times at the most. It being your first film, were you nervous about all the productions, crew, and cameras in your face? Absolutely. That first day was one of the craziest days of my life. We started shooting with a musical number that we performed live in front of a room full of crew and extras. And then I was on the schedule for a scene that I wasn’t part of in the stage musical; it was a short scene between Tommy and Frankie. I thought there was a mistake. But I ended up being part the scene, a scene I’d never been part of in my 1200 performances on stage, and so I had to improvise. This might not seems like a big deal, but when you’ve done a show a bajillion times the same way every night on and off for almost 4 years and improvising is something you are ONLY allowed to do if someone flubs a line and needs saving, it was a surprise. So a scene that was usually a two-hander between Tommy and Frankie became a four-hander between us all, and I dove in head first, terrified but galvanized. It set an awesomely exciting improvisational tone for a large part of the movie.
This film has created quite a stir in Hollywood everyone seems to be excited for it’s release...when can we count on that? That’s good to hear! It’s a really incredible group of people involved in this film and I’m really proud and grateful to be a part of it. The release is set for June 20 and we’ve been lucky enough to close the LA Film Festival as our LA premiere. Can we expect more theatre or film roles for the future Michael Lomenda? I hope so. There’s always that small self-deprecating voice in the back of my mind that says, after I finish a gig, I’ll never work again. And it’s less a “small voice” and more of a screaming group of banshees when your first movie ever winds up being an Eastwood film. Also, for me, the past several months have been less about my next gig and more about moving my life from Toronto to LA. You don’t know how much stuff you accrue until you have to write it all down, pack it in a pod, and ship it across the continent. All I can say is that filming Jersey Boys colossally redefined some things for me - it completely turned my perception of acting on it’s head in the best possible way. It sent me back to the sandbox as an actor and I, bad pun ahead, dug it. So, I hope the right future film or TV project comes along to continue that awesome exploration.

RILEY SMITH by HAIILEE LAUTENBACH
Tell us who you are? Where are you from, how you got started in acting...etc
My name is Riley Smith, I’m from a small town in Iowa called Marion. I started acting at the age of 18 while in New York during a brief stint in modeling. How long have you been here in Hollywood? I moved to Los Angeles to film the pilot in January of 1998. What was your first project? A Warner Brothers pilot called “Minor Threat”. You’ve been on a ton of TV from Freaks and Geeks to 90210. You have always been a popular choice for Teens. Was it strange being a Teen heartthrob when in truth you’re not really a Teen? When I started, I was still a teen. And then for about 10 years I guess I never aged in Hollywood’s eyes. There were a lot of times where I fought against it and wanted to play my age. But as I’ve matured I’ve realized that it has been a blessing. I had the opportunity to bring experience and maturity to the younger roles I did. I think it gave me an advantage in the audition rooms. Plus, I have the rest of my life to play my age:)
THE FIRST THING EVERYONE SAID TO ME WHEN I LANDED THE ROLE WAS “OH YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET NAKED.”...
photo by shelli Wright
Now you’re playing the new Vampire on the last season of True Blood and let’s just say it’s a more “mature” role for you...did the sex scenes throw you off a little? The first thing everyone said to me when I landed the role was “Oh, youre going to have to get naked”... That had never dawned on me until then. So yeah, it was looming over me for about 2 months until I actually had to do it. But Im glad I did! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. They do it so much on that show, that the crew and cast know how to put you at ease. I had an amazing director Simon Jayes, who made it a very smooth situation. It’s all about trust and I trusted them. It also gave me the drive to get a personal trainer and push myself to get in great physical shape. It was the kind of positive push I needed and glad that I did.
Do you prefer playing the recurring role on a television series, or the few months that you spend working on a film? It’s more about the material than the shooting schedule for me. TV is a well oiled machine. You know what you are walking into. Which is always nice. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re walking into on a film. But there is something exciting about the unknown as well. With all these projects under your belt, what’s one of your favorite places work has taken you to? I have been so blessed to have been given the opportunity to see so much of the world while doing what I love. When you travel for filming, you usually move to a town for a good chunk of time (2-3 months or more) and you really become a member of society. You make friends, you find your favorite cafes, etc. And then you pack up and move back to LA and its all a memory that will never happen like that again. Its a journey man lifestyle. But I’m one of the luckiest guys in the world to get to do it! Last year I fell in love with my time in Portland and Wilmington, NC. But I’ve also lived in some far out places like Cape Town South Africa to Toronto, Miami, Vancouver. I love to travel and explore new places. So this job suits me.
photo by shelli Wright
Were you a fan of the show? I had watched a number of episodes over the years when my close friends were on it. So I had an idea of what was going on. But once I was offered the role, I locked myself inside for a weekend and caught up with more of them so that I knew what I was walking into.
Many know you as an actor but you’re also the singer of a very popular band “Life of Riley.” Tell us about that! Do you carry your guitar everywhere on set? I am in a band called The Life Of Riley as a hobby. Its a passion project that I developed because of so much time alone on the road. Just me and my guitar many nights. Yea, my Taylor Guitar goes everywhere with me. I just recently got a Baby Taylor, thats smaller and easier to carry around. I cant wait to start a new chapter of travel with it!
photo by shelli Wright
What is some advice you would give your 18 year old self? Dont let the highs get too high or the lows get too low. Stay humble, show up on time, and never forget that you are never too good for the job you have. So, what can we look forward to from Riley Smith? Me on your telly

BOOBOO STEWART by HAIILEE LAUTENBACH
I don’t really consider myself a heart throb... I just appreciate the fact that people want to see the films I’m doing and I hope that continues. Tell us a little about yourself, where you’re from, what started you in acting etc...you can be brief and skip things if you like. Well I started in Modeling and doing stunts. Then I went on to getting a record deal at 12. I ended up touring with Miley, The Jonas Brothers and then the Cheetah Girls. I really got interested in Acting after seeing Heath Ledger in Dark night. After that I booked Twilight and things just took off. Being Seth in Twilight and now Warpath in X-men, is it difficult to become a part of a well known fantasy world and then try to come back to reality? Hahah..Not at all. They are both amazing Franchises to be involved with and I can’t believe how lucky I am sometimes. But yes I’m able to separate the fantasy from reality. What keeps you grounded? My family and friends. What’s the weirdest thing to have happened to you on set while filming? I don’t know about weird, but the most memorable was being on the set of XMEN the first day. AMAZING! If I could I would thank Bryan Singer Everyday. You’ve already racked up an impressive imdb page. How do you feel about your career so far? What role would be the ultimate signifier to yourself that you’ve made it? I have been very blessed. My dad and I are always looking for something new and challenging. I don’t think any one role would do that. I think it’s more of a combination of all of the roles I have done that make up what I am as an actor.
In X-men you worked with a lot of influential actors. Who did you learn the most from? Obviously Bryan was very informative and I watched how he worked as I aim to direct one day. I was also lucky enough to have had many conversations with Ian. Some people may not know that you take your physical responsibility of a role very seriously sometimes changing your body losing or gaining weight to correspond with the character...do you have a nutritionist who helps you prepare for these roles? Also, how much muscle weight did you put on for Warpath? I think it’s important to look the part. For me that means gaining or losing a large amount of weight it would seem. haha I had just recently wrapped a film intitled THE WELL in which I play a teen dying of kidney failure for this role I dropped my weight to 111 lbs. I’m usually around 145. It was incredibly difficult. Then a few months later I had to be ready for XMEN which meant gaining 60 or so lbs to round out to 170. It meant a lot of food and many many hours in the gym. What other projects can we look forward to seeing you in? As I mentioned “THE WELL” will be out right after “XMEN Days of Future past” in June. Then “Like a Country Song”, “Balsam Falls”, “LOWLIFES” and “Hope Bridge” all of which should be out this year. Next will be the start of production on the “Descendants” which looks to be really fun and directed by Kenny Ortega. With all your success, fans must be popping up. How are you handling your heartthrob status? I don’t really consider myself a heart throb but thank you. haha. I just appreciate the fact that people want to see the films I’m doing and I hope that continues. BISOUS | 98
