Page 2: An Interview with Vincent Martella (Greg, "Everybody Hates Chris")

Q: Favorite Movie?
Vincent: "I really don't have one favorite movie. I like a bunch of movies for different reasons. I enjoyed 'Ace Ventura,' 'The Grinch,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'National Treasure.'"

Q: Favorite TV Show?
Vincent: "I liked 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' too bad it's not on anymore. I do watch the reruns. I watch all three CSI shows. I watch 'Criminal Minds' now - that is such a great show! I also watch 'Out of Practice,' 'King of Queens' and 'Numb3rs.'"

Q: Favorite Food?
Vincent: "Pizza -- my Dad's pizza! He owns a chain of pizzerias called Captain Tony's."

Q: Least Favorite Food?
Vincent: "Horseradish. I've never had it, but it smells bad."

Q: Do you have a girlfriend?
Vincent: "No, no I do not."

Q: Anything special you look for in a girl?
Vincent: "I think they have to have a great personality and understand my situation. I'm not going to have time for a million social activities like go to the movies every Friday night. She has to be someone who is very understanding, very caring and very nice. She can't be totally mean and outrageous, I don't like that."

Q: Favorite Sports/Teams?
Vincent: "My favorite sport is basketball. My favorite team -- I'm not really sure, a lot of things have changed this season in basketball. Shaq left the Lakers and is down in Miami. There are a lot of changes going on."

Q: What's your favorite thing to do when you have time off?
Vincent: "When I have time off, I like to play the piano, I like to dance and I like to go out to the movies. I like to hang out with my dad -- he's the only one who is out here with me right now. I like calm time with my father, not rushing around on the set."

Q: What do you do on the set when you're in-between takes?
Vincent: <laughs> "I go to school!"

Q: What's your favorite video game?
Vincent: "The Halo series and the Prince of Persia."

Q: Do you have any hobbies?
Vincent: "I don't really collect anything, but one of my favorite trinkets I've gotten from all time is from my first national ad commercial with Arbor Hotdogs and I got to play ball with Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriquez and Roberto Alimar -- I got a signed ball from each of them."

Q: Favorite Music Groups?
Vincent: "I like The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jackson Browne, Elton John, the Eagles -- I like a lot of different bands. They're pretty much my inspiration for music. That's the music that taught me what I know."

Q: Favorite Books?
Vincent: "When I do have time to read, I like Harry Potter. I also read Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Q: What's your ringtone?
Vincent: "I do not have a cell phone. I don't need a cell phone at this point. My father always has his cell phone with him and I'm always with my father."

Q: If you weren't an actor, what would you be?
Vincent: "You always have to have a back-up plan. If, in the event that acting doesn't work out, I could be a doctor because that's another way of helping somebody. If you have a good mind and you're willing to use that mind for good things, you should do that."

Q: You just won an award, right?
Vincent: "Actually, I won two awards. We ("Everybody Hates Chris") won the Family Friendly Award and the Diversity Award."

Q: Is there anything you want to say to the fans?
Vincent: "Well, speaking of awards, our show was nominated for the People's Choice Awards for Best New Comedy. Everybody can go to pcavote.com and vote for our show! They can also go to my website, vincentmartella.com and email me. And also -- Happy Holidays!"
