  • Chris M: Great to be here
  • Troy D: Have a seat! I understand you're in a new movie!
  • Chris M: I am!
  • Chris M: It's a departure for me, but it's been a lot of fun
  • Troy D: Tell me all about it!
  • Chris M: Well, the film is called "Waiting for Fluffman" and it's kind of an art piece
  • Troy D: And you play...?
  • Chris M: Pork-me St. James
  • Troy D: Do we have a clip?
  • Chris M: The network actually would only let us show this two-second bit.
  • Chris M: So, this is me and I'm delivering a pizza to the frat house.
  • Chris M: And...
  • Chris M: Well, let's just watch.
  • Chris M: [film starts]
  • Chris M: [hand rings doorbell]
  • Chris M: [door opens]
  • Chris M: [clip ends]
  • Troy D: (applause)
  • Chris M: Thanks
  • Troy D: That was certainly revealing!
  • Chris M: Well, what was interesting to me that I discovered in filming
  • Chris M: Was the doorbell doesn't work at all!
  • Troy D: (laughter and applause)
  • Chris M: So my... erm... co-stars kept opening the door before I even rang the bell!
  • Troy D: (more laughter)
  • Troy D: Now, Chris -- I noticed in that film clip that you were only wearing a jockstrap.
  • Chris M: Mmmhmm, that's right
  • Chris M: In the script, I was supposed to be full monty
  • Chris M: But since I had a producer credit I flexed my muscles (so to speak) and made a costuming decision on my own
  • Troy D: (laughter)
  • Troy D: And what fine muscles they are! Did you do lots of training for the role?
  • Chris M: Well, I have to chalk it up to genetics.
  • Chris M: ...and an amazing plastic surgeon
  • Chris M: I think we figured it out
  • Chris M: and I'm really only 20% of the man I was when I was 20.
  • Troy D: (laughter)
  • Troy D: What's your next role?
  • Chris M: Actually I'll be in the West End next month as Earnest in "The Importance of being Earnest"
  • Chris M: Plus I have an album dropping this summer of Children's Music
  • Troy D: Oooh! Something to look forward to!
  • Troy D: Chris, thanks for joining us tonight -- it's always a pleasure!@
  • Chris M: Oh, thanks for having me Troy -- I love coming on!
  • Chris M: Can I stick around for the plate-spinning dogs??
  • Troy D: You bet!
