Dave is awesome! Go check out his movies now 😛
Those of you that know me and follow me on twitter and are frequent visitors to the site, know I reached out to some of my verified followers to see if they’d be interested in an interview on the site.
The first to get back to me was Dave Sheridan. Dave agreed and here we are. After doing a bit of background research, I didn’t realise how many of his films I had actually seen. After chatting to Dave and finding out what an awesome guy he is, he agreed to the interview. So let’s find out a little more about American actor Dave Sheridan.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
1) How did you get into acting?
I fell into Acting while I was in film school studying to be a director. I would schedule out film shoots and all of the Actors I booked (since there was no pay) always flaked and I was forced to act in my own films. After that I stopped trying to work with other actors and just started shooting films that I would act in.
2) You were in Scary Movie as Special Officer Doofy. What was it like being in such an iconic movie and would you ever consider going back if they asked you?
That was a great experience shooting Scary Movie as my first studio film. Doofy was a character CHIP that I developed and shot several short film about. The producers saw those films and thought he was a good fit to play Doofy. I never broke the character of Chip on set while filming the movie. So all the other actors thought that I was really mentally challenged (until we shot the ending) and they were all surprised.
I loved Scary Movie 🙂
3) You also starred as Sheriff Lincoln in The Walking Deceased, are you a fan of the zombie genre and shows such as The Walking Dead?
It’s my favourite show, that’s why I decided to spoof it… I didn’t see any other chance to be in the real show. So my spoof was close enough for me. Had a blast killing Zombies, their heads just explode so nice.
4) If you could be in one existing film, what film and character would you choose and why?
Star Wars, Dan Solo (Han Solo’s son) He’s just a bartender now, but he’s an aspiring musician and dreams of touring the galaxy with his one-man band: Going Solo
5) You’re in a band called Van Stone, how’s the band and do you have any gigs lined up?
Band is no more, we are working on compiling footage and editing a documentary. It’ll be called LAST OF THE ROCK GODS
6) You also appeared in two of Red Hot Chilli Peppers music videos, what was that like?
I loved shooting those music videos, It was a character named Stewart… Most will know him as Doug from Ghost World. But the original films I made with him that the band saw where about my character Stewart. There’s a great behind the scenes “making of” on Youtube.
OMG I totally remember this video *fanboy moment*
7) What can we expect to see from you in the remaining months of 2015 and into 2016?
2016 I’ll be in FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK. 2017 I’ll be in SKY SHARKS and
HALLOWEEN PARTY 1986
8) Tell our readers one fun fact about yourself that they may not already know?
There is nothing fun about facts, only fiction: My eyes turn different colour depending on the amount of sunlight (Light Blue, Dark Blue, Green, brown)
9) Finally what advice would you have for an upcoming actress or actor?
Try not to step on people on your way up, you never know who’ll you need on the way down.
