AfterEllen.com: Michelle, how did you get cast as Wil?
Michelle Krusiec: That process took a while. It was May, 2003 when I first met [producer] Teddy Zee, who had seen the show I made in Taiwan. It wasn’t until August that I was actually cast. Between May, June, and July I was preparing for the role as if I had been cast, hoping that all the work would eventually pay off, but I didn’t get a firm confirmation until late in the process.
AE: What preparation were you doing, learning Mandarin?
PAST ACTING ROLES
LYNN CHEN: Most of these roles, I got through people I knew.
Ruben O'Malley, who was the DP for "Fortune," asked me to come in and audition for "Cattle Call." It was filmed on a sound stage last year, but (I believe) the project is on hold because there are additional shots needed to complete the project
IN THE BEGINNING
US ASIANS: Could you share how a Chinese girl born in Queens became a great artist?
LYNN CHEN: I’m someone who really enjoys the arts but I don’t really consider myself “a great artist.” I’ve had supportive parents and friends who’ve given me a lot of confidence about my abilities.
US ASIANS: In what ways have your friends and family been supportive?
US ASIANS: Who are your role models in your entertainment career?
LYNN CHEN: I’d like to have a career like Parker Posey’s or Maggie Gyllenhaal’s
US ASIANS: Could you share what things/elements/aspects of Parker Posey or Maggie Gyllenhaal’s career are the most important things that you want to attain in your career?
LYNN CHEN: I like the characters that they play – complex, fun, hilarious, and smart women… I really enjoyed Parker Posey’s performances in “Dazed and Confused,” “Party Girl,” and all her improv in the Christopher Guest films. Maggie Gyllenhaal was great in “Secretary,” and “Donnie Darko.” They work in both indie and big budget productions, something I hope to be able to do someday.
US ASIANS: How was your experience in playing one of the children’s role in “South Pacific?” How long was the run, who were the actors, where did it play, etc.?
LYNN CHEN: “South Pacific” was a lot of fun, but I missed a lot of school because of it. Me and the other kids in the show used to take naps between shows in sleeping bags on top of dressing room tables. The run was a couple of months long at the NY State Theatre in Lincoln Center – some of the other actors that I remember involved were Tony Roberts, Susan Bigelow, and Marcia Mitzman.

同志遊行 千人響應 彩虹隊伍 爭取愛的權利
林倖妃/台北報導
「我是教師，我是同志」，第三年舉行的同志大遊行昨天在台北登場，參與人數逾千，規模創下歷年紀錄，由同志教師所組的同性戀教師聯盟更高舉彩虹旗，首次大聲喊出「我是教師、我是同志，學校也有同性戀」，一吐平常在校內不敢張揚的「苦悶」；花蓮師範學院學生更高喊「支持同志結婚」。參加遊行的同志父母也說他們願意現身，就是要為子女爭取結婚權和收養子女權。
年紀僅有十三個月大的愛滋寶寶盼盼，也出現在遊行隊伍中，他圓滾滾的眼睛好奇地望著周遭，模樣相當可愛；而男同志養的「女同志狗」也搖尾亮相。
