THEO GREENLY
conducted on:
July 2001
by: Allie Bloch






 
 


PZO: How did you know you wanted to act?

Theo: I have always wanted to act. It’s been a part of me that I’ve always wanted to do since I was little. Ever since I was little I always put on little shows, so acting has been with be since forever. I always wanted to be the center of attention.

PZO: Do you get star struck meeting sports stars on "The Jersey"?
Theo: Yeah, I do and especially when it’s someone that I’m a real big fan of. When we had David Wells on I was pretty star struck. Also because he pitched a perfect game and I was able to watch it.

PZO: What sports are you into, both watching and playing?
Theo: I’m mostly into extreme sports. Skateboarding, BMX, surfing, snowboarding, all of that kind of stuff. As far as traditional sports go basketball and football are all I watch.

PZO: What are your plans after "The Jersey"? Are you going to focus on school? Or do studies and acting at the same time?
Theo: I plan on doing both school and acting. Although I don’t want to stick with television shows because I want to move onto movies. [See Theo in AI: Artificial Intelligence]

PZO: Are there any other movies or theater plays you're currently working on or looking in to?
Theo: Right now I’m in AI, the new Steven Spielberg movie. Other than that I’m in a new McDonald’s commercial. Right now everything is pretty slow, it’s just the time of season. In a month things will begin to pick up.

PZO: Do you mind giving up the ‘fun’ teenage years to be working all the time?
Theo: I have mixed feelings on that. Sometimes I do feel like I’m missing out on a lot, but at the same time being able to work on a TV show is a lot of fun. Although I feel like I miss out on some stuff it is worth it.


PZO: I heard you play guitar. When you play your instrument, what kind of music do you play?
Theo: I play all kinds of stuff. I like to play Weezer and some old stuff, the Beatles, the Doors that type of stuff.

PZO: What kind of bands/singers are you into?
Theo: I’m into almost every kind of music. Right now I’ve been listening to a lot of Weezer. That’s about it with the new stuff. I’m not really into the new alternative music. I don’t really like the direction it’s going into. I’ve been listening to a lot of classic oldies and classic rock. Like the Who, Cream, and all that.

PZO: Which one of the cast members on "The Jersey" have you become real good friends with?
Theo: I became good friends with the girl on the show, Courtnee Draper.

PZO: How do you feel when you watch yourself on the screen?
Theo: It’s weird. I don’t know. Sometimes I like watching myself on TV, but other times I just think what I could have done differently. I’m very critical when I watch myself.


PZO: What are one of your favorite memories while on the set of "The Jersey"?

Theo: There’s so many. One of my favorite things we do is when we have a table read with every new script. We get to read the script for the first time and everyone is there. We get to read the script out so the writers can make any changes if they have any.


PZO: Any weird fan moments (stalkers, etc...)?
Theo: Has any fan stalked me? Nobody has stalked me quite yet. When "The Jersey" was shooting in Tampa, I think it was Tampa, and we were shooting at a school. I was walking by the school building, the whole top floor in the windows, there were people sticking their heads out and TONS of paper airplanes coming down. The entire cast began to look at them and there were phone numbers on all of them.

PZO: Do you use pick up lines? If so... Which one is your best one?
Theo: Do I use any pick up lines? <laughter> I think pick up lines are stupid. I think the best pick up line that anyone gave is ‘Hello’ and introduce yourself. You’re so fine I can drink a tub of your bath water. All of the pick up lines are stupid.

PZO: Do you have any quotes that you live by?
Theo: Yeah, it’s one by Abraham Lincoln. ‘It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
