What’s the first film that you remember seeing? “I distinctly remember, when I was three-years-old, cringing underneath the cinema seat for the entirety of The Empire Strikes Back.”
Who’s your favourite actor or actress? “Clive Owen.”
Is there an actor or actress that you just can’t stand? “I’m not sure if Mariah Carey qualifies as an actress…that’s the problem.”
Have you ever walked out of a movie? “The only movie that I ever walked out on was The Age Of Innocence. I’m still not sure if that movie was a practical joke.”
Do you have any guilty pleasures? “I’m from a Catholic family…all my pleasure is guilty! Movie-wise, my guilty pleasure would probably be Payback, with Mel Gibson.”
Do you have any Aussie faves? “Does Heavenly Creatures count as an Aussie film? If not, I liked Dirty Deeds a lot.”
If a movie was made about The Chaser team and its experiences, who would play you guys? “It’d be a Nutty Professor-like comedy where Verne Troyer played the other four Chaser guys (employing a variety of wigs), and I’d be played by Matthew McConaughey. Naturally.”
The Chaser’s Election Desk is screening now on ABC-TV and ABC iView. This article was first published in 2009.
