Kari Wuhrer TV Gen Chat Transcript Page Three

Pellea1:   Maggie versus Xena —who wins? Wuhrer:   Xena kicks ass. And would probably win a physical fight. But Maggie would definitely beat her in scrabble. Wesser1:   Do you have any upcoming movies? I thought you were great in both Anaconda and Thinner (superb acting). Wuhrer:   Phoenix with Ray Liotta premiers this month on HBO. I also have a movie coming out with Dennis Leary maybe sometime in the fall. And a bunch of other stuff that has no distributors or release dates. I'm the queen of the video independent. Yyoossis:   Kari, are you internet-savvy at all? If so, do you surf the web, send e-mail, research, etc? Wuhrer:   I surf Malibu. Sixty_4_Mustang:   You have come a long way from MTV, what are your plans for the future? Wuhrer:   Well, next weekend....I'll be sitting in the sunshine by somebody's pool as long as I bring the chips and beer. Wesser1:   Do you feel that Maggie has developed better as a "teamster" in the fourth season? Wuhrer:   Teamsters are fat, doughnut eating men. And it's very hard to get into that union. RSEWOLF:   Kari, do you ever travel to Michigan? Wuhrer:   What for?? Is that an invitation? I love Lake Michigan. And actually my husband's grandparents live there. But I don't like the cold. Pretzelkin:   Is this really Kari? Wuhrer:   No, I was genetically cloned from Kari. She's actually home watching Ally McBeal. Bret_h:   Kari, I'd like to compliment you on your beauty. What kind of advise could you give for someone who's interested in following in the acting career? Wuhrer:   Run, run fast, run far!! Phantom_Of_The_Internet:   When Fox canceled the show, did you think it was all over? Wuhrer:   Yes. It's happened to me before with Class of '96 which was a Fox show in 1992. I was very happy when the Sci-Fi Channel picked up Sliders because I wasn't finished with Maggie yet and it would have been like almost getting there and then the phone ringing. Wendynl:   How does it feel that so many young Dutch girls/women admire you? Wuhrer:   What? I've never heard that before, but "ikhovyenyou" How do you spell that word? Wesser1:   Do you have a favorite Sliders episode? Wuhrer:   Of course I'd have to say that working with Roger Daltry had to have been my favorite experience. By the way, it's on right now. Why aren't you watching? Krash___:   I would like a show where the world is in perfect balance until you guys slide there causing it's destruction, by every movement every sound you make, and if you don't slide, the world will be destroyed and so will you. Any chance of that one happening? Wuhrer:   Perhaps we will do that show right after we do West Slide Story. Where we all sing and dance. Which idea is better? Spenceklea:   Was Colin Quinn annoying to you or are you still friends Wuhrer:   I love Colin Quinn. And isn't it a coincidence that on Sliders we have a character named Quinn and soon we will be meeting his brother named Colin....Doo, doo, doo, doo (Twilight Zone noise) Mel2100:   Kari, sorry if this has been asked before: but you are often "credited" with different last names. Do you have a preference: Wuhrer or Salin? Or something else altogether :-) Wuhrer:   I have used Salin when a movie I made embarrasses me. It's my married name and my alias. But Wuhrer is the name my Dad gave me and the one I have always used in the business. How honest is that?!? Conniefl:   What's the most unusual gift that you received? Wuhrer:   That's a hard one. When I first had my period my father gave me a jade elephant. I never understood the significance. And was too embarrassed to ask him. Thanos22:   Do you think this show is popular? Wuhrer:   Yes. If I didn't I'd be doing a sitcom or something. Phantom_Of_The_Internet:   Is the show living up to your expectations for it? Wuhrer:   There's one downside to this business. When you have expectations, you get disappointed. So instead, I get pleasantly surprised. Phantom_Of_The_Internet:   What would be your ideal type of parallel universe? Wuhrer:   One where all the men are smart, kind, gorgeous and in love with me. The_Verve69:   Which actor in Sliders do you like working with the best? Wuhrer:   I enjoy working with all of them. But Cleavant has the most beautiful and contagious laugh that every day he has me in stitches. They're kicking me out of here guys! But I want to thank everyone of you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Some days I wake up and know that I'm just not worthy, but other days I wake up thankful for my career and all the fans and it give me the inspiration and the motivation to keep going. Now excuse me, while I tip the violin player and slip out of here quietly. Love you all. Thanks again. See ya!
