VICTOR GARBER (Elle's Law Professor)


Do you give Elle (Reese) a hard time in the film?
I start out being supportive and then it gets a little dicey.

What was your relationship like working with Reese?
I totally loved her. I love working with her - she's the best. She's so smart, so funny, and so talented. I know I sound like I'm making this up but I actually mean it. She's fantastic.

ALI LARTER


What's your next project?
I finished working on "American Outlaws." It's a shoot 'em up western with Colin Farrell and Scott Caan, coming out on August 17. It'll be a lot of fun and I think people will love it.

Was the sexy scene in "Varsity Blues" fun or intimidating?
It was the first scene, in my first role, and I was petrified. I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink anything, I was just out of my mind trying to stay focused and get through that night. I stayed on the set for 8 long hours, and it was exhausting, but making that movie was incredible. I loved making that movie and Jon Voight was in it and he's such an incredible actor. He told me that the camaraderie we all had on that film wasn't the norm. After making more movies, I realize just how special we had it on that set. That movie is very, very dear to me.

AMANDA BROWN (Author of the book "Legally Blonde")


Are you legally blonde?
Yes, definitely. The book and movie contain a lot of personal experiences.

What's the story behind the book?
I did two years at Stanford Law School, and that was the inspiration. My own personal life is reflected in parts of the book and now the film. The movie was made from the unpublished manuscript of my novel, "Legally Blonde" which is due out on July 15th.

Do blondes have more fun?
I actually believe that. I'm not sure why entirely. I believe that it's really about people who can laugh at themselves and not take themselves so seriously - blonde or not.

Anything in the movie that is different from your book?
There is nothing they (the screenwriters) did that made me uncomfortable. The only thing that really changed was my dog. My dog, "Underdog," wasn't a Chihuahua.

Did you like the casting of the film?
The casting of Reese was perfect; she is the perfect smart blonde. I didn't have any input on the casting or the film however I did visit the set and they were very friendly and welcoming. The casting of the entire film was perfect. If I'd done it myself, I couldn't have done a better job. I didn't have any say-so in the casting process but from the very beginning it fell into wonderful hands.

SCOTT FOLEY (Noel on TV's "Felicity")


What's your current project?
I just got back from London where I've been working on a film about a WWII submarine. It's a psychological thriller written by Darren Aronofsky.

Blondes or brunettes?
There's something more intellectual about brunettes that attracts me.

MARISSA DYAN (Cassidy on "City Guys")


Do you think blondes really have more fun?
No, I've been so many colors and I have fun all the time. The hair color isn't what matters. It's all about how you relate to people, how you act.

Do people treat you different as a blonde?
Blonde is flashier, brighter, and it's the first thing people usually see when they look at you. It catches your eye, but I honestly don't think it makes a difference in the way people treat you.

What are you working on now?
I'm in my fifth season of "City Guys" and we're on hiatus now. I'm excited about actually taking a vacation, and I look forward to resting and relaxing.
