2005

Who in your cast would have the most entertaining reality show based on their life and why? (SID 2/1/05)
"Melissa Archer (Natalie). She's just so funny and nutty. She has no filter -- anything she thinks comes out of her mouth. If she were married, it'd be like Jessica [Simpson] and Nick [Lachey]. Everybody in the world would fall in love with her because she's awesome."

Who is your show's on-set practical joker? (SOD 2/1/05)
"I wasn't there when this happened, but it is the funniest story. Mark Derwin [ex-Ben] apparently was a jokester, and one time, the wardrobe and makeup people got together to play a joke on him. They said that somewhere in the script it said that he was going to have to play in drag. So they told him that they had to show producers what he'd look like before the actual [shooting] day. So he runs up [in drag], interrupts a production meeting, walks in and says, 'Okay, guys, I'm ready. Do I look okay?' They're all like, 'What?' They had no idea what he was talking about [laughs]. There was no script where he had to dress up in drag."

Which of your co-stars could win on Jeopardy and why? (SID 2/15/05)
"Tuc [Watkins, David]. Well, I don't know if he'd win on Jeopardy. He's really smart, but there's a difference between being smart and [knowing] trivia. Erika Slezak (Viki) would totally win at Jeopardy. She knows everything. She has a plethora of knowledge."

Who do you hope wins an Oscar? (3/1/05)
"Don Chadle was incredible in Hotel Rwanda. He was so moving and convincing in that role. Best movie for me is Sideways -- I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my seat."

What's your best lunch option at work? (SID 3/29/05)
"Joseph's. It's an all-natural health food store that just opened up [at] 72nd and Broadway. It's a little gem. Everything is made fresh. They just have a little setup in the front, and ever day they have a special, whether it's vegetarian lasagna or moussaka or whatever...and, they deliver now!"

Who is the best dancer on your cast? (SID 4/14/05)
"Kamar [de los Reyes, Antonio]. He's a great leader. It's like the love scenes -- I'm just there as a prop. Anytime anyone says, 'Oh, your love scenes are really sexy,' I'm like, 'Go and congratulate Kamar. It has nothing to do with me at all!' Same with the dancing scenes. It has nothing to do with me at all; it's 100 percent Kamar."

Which of your co-stars would do the best on Fear Factor? (SID 5/10/05)
"Me! Of course, are you kidding me I would love to be on Fear Factor. That would be the best. I have a really bad appetite, but you know, it's all about mind over matter -- I could do it. I'd actually like the first stunt when you get to drive cars over buildings and fly in the air and do crazy stuff. So, yeah, I would win at Fear Factor -- if they would just give me the chance."

Have you ever had a psychic moment? (SID 7/12/05)
"I really don't think I have, but an ex-boyfriend, who I am still good friends with, has weird dreams all the time. He calls me often, saying he had one about me -- very intense. And a lot of the time it will be about something he didn't know about, but [that] was very much going on in my life."

Do you have any dating horror stories? (SID 9/27/05)
"I went to a film festival film with this guy who was just a nightmare. He got up to use his cell phone and missed the first half of the film, then was asking me what's going on. Then he brought me to this dinner party that was horrific with the worst people I've ever met."

How did you get your name? (SOD 10/4/05)
"There was a girl on Charlie's Angels named Sabrina [played by Kate Jackson], and they always used to call her Bree for short. So, my mom always liked Bree."

What does Bree remember about her audition? (SID 11/22/05)
"I wasn't nervous until I got to the studio. I screen-tested with Nathaniel Marston (Michael), who was really nice. And suddenly, I was so nervous, I thought I was going to vomit. [Afterward] Nathaniel just looked at me and said, 'You got it.' And then I wandered around New York, and it was agony. I didn't want to be like, 'Oh, I really like it here.'"

If you could trade lives with a cast member for one day, with whom would you choose to swtich? (SID 12/20/05)
"Robin Strasser (Dorian), 'cause she has a great house -- a kickass brownstone. It's goregous. She had a party there and I wanted to lock myself in one of the rooms and hold myself hostage."
