Name: Melissa Munn (Missy)
Age: 24 (I'll turn 25 on March 20)
Sex: Female
Job: I work for The State Newspaper in Columbia, SC. I'm a newsroom researcher/database enhancer/archivist. What in the world is that, you ask! (Goooooood question! LOL!!!) In other words, I do research for our reporters in addition to updating our database. I also edit and enhance news articles and photos so that they are available to the public from our website. Believe me, it's much more fun than it sounds! Working around news as it happens is exciting!
Where do you live? South Carolina. If you need the city, it's West Columbia.
Where did you first see Sean? Lets see... I'm guessing the first time I actually saw Sean was in the movie Powder- many moons ago when it was first released. I even have it on tape somewere. And I believe I saw some episodes of The Yong Indiana Jones Chronicles, but I was blind (or perhaps just incredibly stupid) and failed to succumb to the Flanery charm at the time. (I know! I should be shot!) It was not until recently, when I rented the movie 'Simply Irresistible' that I fell head over heels into Sean-dom. Ladies, 'irresistible' is definitely the word I would use to describe him!
What was it about him that drew you in? The smile. Definitely the smile. I noticed it immediately in 'Simply Irresistible'! There's something so charming about it. It's one of those adorably boyish, slightly crooked grins and yet it also has that air of self-confidence.
What your fave Sean role? Because I'm relatively new to the Sean Scene, I haven't been able to see as many of his movies as I'd like to (But I'm working on that!!!). Tom Bartlett from 'SI' will probably always be one of my very favorites simply because that was the role that first took my breath away. It's probably not the role that shows the depth of his acting ability, but it's a very sweet, endearing role nevertheless. That's not to say I don't enjoy his weightier roles- I thought he was fabulous in 'Suicide Kings' and 'Boondock Saints'. Wow. What an incredible acting range!
If you could ask Sean only 2 questions what would they be? Wow. You mean besides 'Will you marry me?' That's a tough one. I know we've all heard about how he stumbled into acting b/c of his fascination with a girl, but I think I would like to know what it was about the art of acting that made him want to continue to pursue it once he was able to move past this woman. Also, because he spouted Shakespeare so well in 'Best Men', I'd like to know if he'd ever consider a role like 'Hamlet.' There are SO many more intelligent, thought-provoking things I could ask, but just the thought of Sean messes up my train of thought! I'm going to look back over my answers to these questions later and gasp, 'What were you thinking?!'
Your Hobbies? Writing (I'd love to write a movie script, but don't have a clue how to get started in such a competitve business! I have so many ideas, but lack the knowledge to do anything with them! How sad is that?!), reading, watching movies, meeting new people.
And anything else you want us to know? When I first became enamoured with Sean, I started thinking how awesome it would be if I could talk my editors into letting me get in touch with him for a phone interview. We run a small piece each week in the weekend section of our paper on movie rentals, and I knew we'd be running one around Valentine's Day on the most romantic movies to rent. I thought it would be perfect to run an interview with him and recommend 'Simply Irresistible' as a video rental. I did all of this leg work and was told how to track down Sean's agent, etc., but... sadly, it was a no go as far as my editors were concerned. No Sean story. Not even up for consideration. BUT, just the little bit I found out about him through fan sites and articles while preparing for this interview- that didn't happen- left me intrigued. I want to know what makes this guy tick! And, as far as my own feelings go, I want to know why I turn to jelly at the mention of his name?!
