Three football fields in length, the red carpet at the World Premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" must have seemed endless for the celebrity guests (and their families) who made it to Anaheim to take in a special screening of the swashbuckling action film.

While making their way down the red carpet, I had the opportunity to throw a few questions at Kerry Washington and Jon Cryer about their upcoming projects:

KERRY WASHINGTON ("The Human Stain")

What can you tell me about “The United States of Leland?”
Kevin Spacey's amazing to work with and I adore Don Cheadle so it was great to work with him.

What's your role in that film?
I play Don Cheadle's love interest. He was amazing and really great to work with.

And you also have “The Human Stain” coming up soon.
I play opposite Anthony Hopkins as a young man. Wentworth Miller plays that role.

Does your character then turn into an older character later on in the film?
No, it's sort of at a pivotal time in his life where he makes a decision to no longer associate with people like me.

And finally, what brings you out to “Pirates of the Caribbean” tonight?
I did “Bad Company” with Jerry Bruckheimer and when he does movies, I like to be there because he does them big (laughing).


JON CRYER and SARAH TRIGGER

What brings you out to Disneyland for this premiere?
JON: It looks like a great movie. I'm very jazzed to see it. I love Johnny Depp.

SARAH: Plus it was our son's birthday yesterday..

JON: So we gave ourselves a little gift (laughing).

What are you working on now?
JON: I'm doing a show called “Two and a Half Men” for CBS. Me and Charlie Sheen are playing brothers, and we're on in the fall.

SARAH: Mondays, after “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

What's it like working with Charlie Sheen?
JON: A living hell. No, he's wonderful. He's a lovely guy. He's hysterically funny.

So what's the relationship between the brothers?
SARAH: Wait, what do you think the relationship's going to be? Charlie Sheen...

JON: And me. Basically it's a cool guy and a nerd.

And Charlie Sheen plays the nerd? (I earned myself a big hug for that response)
SARAH: Yeah!

JON: Yes, exactly! I love you very much.
