| Revving up with the boys from Speedway Junky. Genre had the opportunity for a Speedway Junky group interview. Enthusiastic participants included Jesse Bradford who plays the title role, and Jordan Brower who plays his gay-for-pay friend Eric. This story of a young military brat on the Las Vegas road to becoming a race car driver also features Johnathan Taylor Thomas, Daryl Hannah, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Patsy Kensit. Genre: Do either of you know any hustlers or women of the night? Jordan: I know quite a few. (both laugh) Jesse: Not who attually receive money for their evil deeds, no. Genre:Jesse, what did you do to prep for your role of Johnny the Speedway Junky? Jesse: I started learning about NASCAR. I'm a NASCAR fan at this point. I worked on a semi-southern drawl. And I had this cowboy thing going on for him - just you and the car. He has a cowboy vibe for me. I tried to remain naive. Genre: Are you naive? Jesse: sure! Absolutely. I think it would be naive of me to say I'm not. Genre: Jordan what did you do to prep for your role of gay-for-pay Eric? Jordan:To be honest with you I didn't really prep. Jesse:He has sex with lots of guys. (both laugh) Jordan: I just read the script and followed what the director said. My character was gay but you didn't really see that in him. Just did it. Genre: Jordan, any qualms on playing gay? Jordan: No, I don't mind playing a role like that. Genre:What did you think of when you kissed Jesse? Jordan: I didn't kiss Jesse. Genre:You were going to. Jordan:Well, I was close, I didn't mind at all you know. He's attractive. Jesse: I wouldn't have minded it. Jordan: I probably wouldn't want to kiss a guy in a movie if i had to 'cause all my buddies would....you know. Jesse:I would't look forward to it but....I don't care, why not? If I ever played gay, I would want to play like flaming - absolutely, positively flaming. Like comedic flaming and I haven't gotten that opportunity yet. Jordan: I guess if they paid me a lot of money. (both laugh) back to interviews Next page |
