Are you still scared of sharks?
Yes! Absolutely. Every day I had to think, I’m not going to get bit today. You know, they don’t want to eat people. People don’t taste good to them. They want fish. But they’re stupid so sometimes they think you’re a fish.

Don’t let them hear your say that. According to the Internet, while you were filming the remake of Flipper you were kidnapped! Is that accurate?
No.

You were never kidnapped?
No.

I insist on only having the big waters! Little bottles of water irritate me. I only want liters!

Disappointing. Okay, is it true that while appearing on Beverly Hills, 90210 early in your career you were contractually forbidden to look the stars in the eyes?
Yes. That’s true.

Why did they have that provision?
I don’t know. It was weird. Maybe they were so popular they didn’t want other actors looking at them.

What was that like?
Weird. How would it feel if you went into an office and they said you couldn’t look at anyone or talk to anyone?

Wait, you couldn’t talk to them either?
Not unless they spoke to you first. It was bizarre. But I guess that’s what happens when you become a big star.

Have you seen any of those people since?
Yeah. I didn’t work with Tori when I did the show, but I’ve seen her since then.

Did you kick her ass?
No. It’s just Hollywood bullshit. I didn’t know if it was the actors saying, “I don’t want anyone to look at me,” or if it was Fox or Aaron Spelling or what.

Do you have anything in your contract like that? Do you need all the yellow M&Ms removed?
Let me see...what’s the worst thing in my contract? No. I don’t have anything real good yet.

Okay, let’s think something up.
What’s on my wish list, you mean? Water. How about that? I want water.

We can probably sort that out.
