Enid-Raye! Can you type? i can type but this is my first time and i might fall down and hurt myself But can you type 80 wpm??? JOKE! not (Okay, so not a funny joke.) not went out with the 0s Hi everyone and thanks for joining us on SCIFI.com tonight where our sixth guest in our ongoing B5: Rangers chat series is Enid-Raye Adams. Enid-Raye Adams plays Firell, a Minbari healer aboard the Liandra. Enid-Raye Adams has appeared in numerous television series, including The Outer Limits, The Lone Gunmen and DaVinci?s Inquest. She made her TV debut in Gone in a Heartbeat, opposite James Marsden. (Be still my beating heart!) A few years later she made her feature film debut in the independent film Lovely Young Thing, opposite Russell Crowe. She's cool and she's wired! Check out: Enid-RayeAdams.com How did you prepare to play the role? What did you draw from to play an alien in an imaginary universe? actually the russell crowe gig was my very first on camera role i prepared by reading the script. then i took direction from joe. the man is a great writer. everything is very clear i also just hung out on set which is the COOLEST thing EVER (direction from joe happened in the audition, after that, we hung out with mike) cool next : The acting bug bit you very early (influenced by your mom apparently), but what was it exactly that attracted you about acting (and made you stick with it)? its a world of magic. a person sort of falls into an imaginary world to tell a story and that's the luring part. also, the free nibblies at crafty is a big draw (next) : Did you feel extra pressure give the B5 fan base? i feel no pressure just overwhelming joy. and also the knowledge that if i have any questions about a million fans around the world will p provide me with answers next to : How bad was the make-up? We keep hearing of actors on various science fiction series quitting because of the terrible ordeal with the make up. the first day was tough - 4:30am. but when i opened my eyes an hour into the process i was flabbergasted! you see, i lost my hair, my brows and was given a huge crome dome. WICKED!!! it was really unbelievable. i was so happy. i was so thrilled, they took a picture of me right there at 530am its on my site ....taking the makeup off however, hurts a bit. all my neck and face hair (i'm actually a sasquatch) got ripped off next : So have you learned Minbari yet? Do you find yourself dropping into it with friends? :) not yet... i didn't need to use it in the movie. but i am looking forward to learning it and using it as the new shakepeare insults next : How was JMS like to work with? he was great. generous and very welcoming he did lurk about in the background for the first couple of days taking pictures and then would come up and have chats. he was always so kind and really wanted to give us space to do the work he also does a mean chicken dance! next and that last part is unfounded rumour Are you ready for the next question, Enid-Raye? yup, sorry i fell down and hurt myself... * Moderator applies CPR thanks next Better now? Good -- : If your character is a vegitarian, what does she eat? Is spoo out? wow that actually felt good moderator... what is spoo and how can i get some? i don't know what she eats, but i eat everything which was evident during the shoot when crafty kept running out of food sometimes i have a flip top mouth next : What are your likes and dislikes of the Minbari (be it religion, politics, fashion sense etc.)? i have no dislikes, although the boots kind of pinched my thick ankles i like the fact that she is a warrior priestess kind of gal the spiritual appeals to me next A lot of people are asking variations on this: : What role do you really, REALLY hope to play someday : As an actor...What is the one movie you dream of doing Enid-Raye? i really hope to play a woman who has somehow really f-ed up in life and is turning it all around... with the assistance of her trusty steed, a sword and a pair of sorels. National Velvet after rehab! i guess a tough chick, but who is still sensitive enough to make snow angels ...sigh.... next Multiple enquiring minds also want to know: : I have to know, what is it like to work with Andreas Katsulas. The man must be an inspiration for Aliens in and out of the B5 realm. : Did you see much of Andreus? What was he like? all i can tell you is, when that man is in character and opens his mouth to speak, you get goosebumps! when he is just andreas i sent him to my drycleaning and the occasional pizza ....again unfounded rumour..next : What about your character would you most like see expanded upon should there be a series? i'd like to see her smoking a fat cigar in several scenes she could really use the sedation ha. i kill me actually, i would like to see her hold confessions and maybe crack a smile next Sedation or seduction wonders the next fan: : Any chance JMS is planning romance for your character? If so did he find you a hunk? doubt it and doubt it again. unless the fellow had a small cessna he could land on my forehead. have you seen the size of my noggin in this movie!? next : what was it like to work with such seminal sex symbols as Gus, Alex, Deanl, and Warren ? Were all the groupies a distraction? Was Dylan all jealous? Seminal sex symbols? * Moderator snorts dylan was always jealous. he's so unattractive. sorry i just swallowed my own esopho-GUS ha i really do kill me working with the boys was great. one of the most fun things we did (bad grammar) was dance around alex's new car to the tunes on his stereo in makeup next : Which is more "primary" to your acting in "Rangers", voice, body language, or what? in rangers its a combo between voice and body. she's such a centred staid gal it was nice to calmly float around except after lunchhour. then not so nice next : How hard was it to play Firell since Minbari are usually quite reserved and well ... you are not? ;) Which do you enjoy more, stand up comedy or acting? What the FFFF--- do you mean i'm not RESERVED? it was not hard to play her at all it was nice not to have to listen to the sound of my own voice. i like it all, mixed up in a big bag. next : Is you fan base so large that you can not go out unnoticed yet. Life may change Jan. 19. No body guards, limos and guard dogs yet? i cannot walk down the streets of moose jaw without people jumping me seriously actually, no one knows who i am i'm a nobody waaaaaaaa... next : Were there any good pranks on the set? dean smacked my bottom one saturday afternoon. we have it in pictures. other than that, when myriam was up in the harness shooting fight sequences, we stood around her and beat her with soft pasta like a pinetta Did she explode and spew candy? then joe sent her a fruit basket!!! he's so nice. next Now on to prying questions about your personal life! : If you didn't have to work for awhile and could take off to any country on any vacation you'd like, where would you go (and why, of course)? i really wanted to go to an all inclusive in mexico next month but it didn't work out get this, i have NEVER been on a vacation in my entire life. i fly to winnipeg a lot i would love to just go lie on a beach somewhere and turn into a lobster. next Were you a scifi or a babylon 5 fan before your involvement in Rangers? not at all. my dad and step mom were though when they found out i got this role, they totally freaked. "you GO MINBARI!!!!" i have since been totally overwhelmed by the amazing fan base we have and i can't get enough of you guys next Okay! I need to ask you about Spike -- I mean James Marsters. Is he as incredible as he looks? who's that? james marsden? Yes, du-uh. sorry Sorry, excitment makes me mispell. excitement makes me pee when i first met him about 3 min later i was making out with him in front of a crew of 30 people how do ya like them apples? next More psychoanalyisis: : What is your fondest childhood memory? christmas time with my family my mom was the greatest holiday maker of all. the lady loved that world of make believe and would go to all ends to create awesome wonderment for her kids. next : Did Mom and Dad explain the Minbari mating rituals to you? ;) does that involve "oomp-loompas" ? next : Your sense of humor is obviously a major part of your wonderful personality. Did it every get you into trouble? >:) yup. Details? on the james marsden project i got yelled at my the director for trying to sell mary kay to the teamsters. jokes. But teamsters look so good in pink lip gloss! i did get yelled at by the vice principal in high skool for talking during announcements Did you fall into your esophogus again, Enid-Raye? Are you ready for the next question? and as a result i refuse to spell skool correctly or type quickly. okay i'm up again sweet on the esophogus line doll face next : What is your greatest phobia? should i tell you or will it come back to haunt me?

(And several people are wondering what FrankG was talking about...)\ i hope she evolves into a contributer of interesting story lines hmm.. sorry did frankg ask about fries? He did! that show was a one woman show i did. it was about an out of work actor who had so much customer service experience that employment canada hired her as motivational speaker Could someone who was interested in Fries find more information about it on your web site, perchance? to give speeches to the disgruntled service industry workers in canada and the annoying customers who make them that way yup. you can check out the press section and read all about it also, i will be adding some new pics to my site next week from the last film i did check it out. next : Would you consider directing/writing episodes if rangers went to a series? i hadn't really thought about it that'd be interesting huh? i know warren really wants to direct so it might be cool to have him behind the camera huh... he is such a true passionate soul that i think he would be great directing. but so long as we get to see his hot little self in front of the camera as well...next For this next questioner, it's not a matter of "if" but of "when": : When Rangers goes to series what will you look forward to the most? a) A new guest star every week. b) Hanging around the set on a regular basis. or c) A steady paycheck. i will look forward to all of the above i will bring trouble and jokes to all guest stars.... but not andreas cause he will be too busy getting my pizza. so i won't razz him i will truly look forward to hanging with this extraordinary group of cast members and crew i'm the luckiest girl alive to be on this show!!! next Last official question for the evening -- although anyone who wants to should feel free to hang out in the auditorium & talk amongst themselves... to : Can you tell us about some of your upcoming projects so we can be on the lookout for them? :) i took a small part in "slap shot II" which will be on video in march. i will also be in taken, which is a dreamworks series. not sure when that airs... i just wrapped a film called "a guy thing" with the lovely gus lynch and other than that, i'm just an auditioning fool. last comment, i cannot tell you how honoured i feel to have your interest and support. i hope you all like the movie! next Enid-Ray, this has been a gas (as in espho-gas...)
