Globe_Host2 : Okay we are about to begin.

Globe_Host2 : And here we go. Please welcome Carrie Dobro.

C_Dobro : Glad you all could make it. What do you want to know?

GlobeHost : DEBORAH35--Are you anything like your character on Crusade? What are the similarities?

C_Dobro : I don't have yellow contact lenses or a big forehead. I don't hype people. I would say our humors are very similar and our strength is very similar. I don't fight people. (instead of hype).

ILuvMyDog : If you could be the ruler of any Country in the world which would you choose and why?

C_Dobro : WOW! LOL That's an interesting question. I'd be the ruler of England because I like their accents.

simon88 : What is it like to be on a TV show? Do you get nervous with cameras and so many people watching.

C_Dobro : I would say no. I don't get nervous in front of cameras. You learn to ignore them. When you're working on a scene, it becomes very encapsulated. Everything else just blacks out. It's a very engrossing little universe. Your little scene on your little part of the stage. I would say working on a series is the most fun in TV because you get to create a character who the writer writes for you and your character gets to change every week.

Lullaby20 : Do u like working with all those great Actors on the show? Who's your favorite?

C_Dobro : The cast in this show was one of the best casts I've ever worked with in any performing medium. Everyone is very generous and supportive and we laughed a lot. I would have to say I didn't have a favorite.

Raven44 : Are you married or single? What kind of man are you looking for?

C_Dobro : Married. I got the man I'm looking for. We actually just got married three months ago and then went off to do a two person play called "Marriage is Murder". We did the play in Equity Theatre in Kansas City, MO. We got married in L.A.

Frank_Lills : If you were too travel to any part of the world, where would it be and what would you most look for?

C_Dobro : What do you mean by look for?????? I guess I would like to go to the Orient because I've never been there and the history and culture and the art, I find fascinating. I lived in Europe for a couple of years but that's a big area of the world that I know nothing about but find fascinating. It's so different from us. I really want to go to Australia.

Dreammm : What would your Spice name be and did you have a mentor while growing up?

C_Dobro : LOL! What are the Spice names? Mischevious. Somebody I looked up to as an actor or.... ???

Steeman : How did you get into standup comedy?

C_Dobro : I don't do stand up comedy. I do a lot of improv comedy which is different. Gynecomedy was an all female cast of 7 women. I played about 15 different roles but they were all sketches.

C_Dobro : It won a dramalog award in L.A. It was fun. I got to play a lot of guys in it. That was a lot of fun.

GlobeHost : Congrats

DrHoglyWogly : Who would you like to work with that you have not yet?

C_Dobro : There's such a long list of wonderful actors I'd love to work with." Robert Duvall, Danny DeVito, Chris Rock, Bette Midler, Johnny Depp... Helen Hunt. Ed Norton.

GlobeHost : Have you seen the new Chris Rock Special on HBO?

C_Dobro : Yes, it was hilarious.

XTC44 : What do you think of the huge fanbase that sci-fi shows have? Do you like your audience? Were you into sci-fi before you joined the cast?

C_Dobro : First of all, I did another sci-fi series called Hypernauts. I love sci-fi. It's fun. I like to watch the movies and some I read I really like. I think the sci fi audience is very unique and wonderful. It's like they aren't like Jerry Seinfeld conventions. Sci fi fans are very loyal. A few conventions I've done, the fans have just been great.

Whitchblade : I'm the webmaster of the Carrie Dobro Reference Site at http://pages.infinit.net/onyxpub/dobro/index.html. Did you visit it? Do you like it?

C_Dobro : I think I have visited it. I thought it was fabulous. Margene who plays doctor on the show also have a website which is crusadebabes.com. Margene and I have the website. Thank you very much. My parents loved it too. LOL

McDICE : Hi! I will try to CATCH Ur show this week. Let Me ask, R U ever able to LiKE have a fun bar-b-que w\ friends that are from Ur past history That R People outside of"TheBuZiNESS" Take iT EASY STEPHEN MiCHaEL McMANUS LaKE CHARLES LouiSiANA 25YrOlD\Sept 06 1973.

C_Dobro : It's a very interesting question. I'm from NY and while I was living in NY most of my friends were not in entertainment business. Since moving out here, most everybody I know is in the business. I miss the lack of different kinds of people around me in my life but I do go to barbecues.

GlobeHost : L.A. is a one industry town thats for sure.

C_Dobro : It really is.

Mitsubishi : What advice do you have for someone interested on acting?

C_Dobro : I would say that you have to really, really learn your craft, not go into it for the money and learn to handle rejection well. And, really, really love it!

Sunflowersue : What are your other hobbies besides Crusade? What do you do in your spare time?

C_Dobro :I read incessantly. I refinish furniture. And, I love hiking and camping and we do that a lot. Also, I love to go to movies.

GlobeHost : Do you go to the swap meets?

C_Dobro : No. Went to a few antique auctions in Kansas City which was interesting.

GlobeHost : You could find some good furniture to refinish.

C_Dobro : I usually find furniture to refinish on the street.

1486 : What is the craziest thing you have had to do on the show?

C_Dobro : Two things or three things come to mind. The first was I'm scaling this wall and I was in this skin tight leather one piece outfit and they had to hook me up to a belay and I was stuck holding these ropes like all day (10 hours). The other thing I was crawling through this tunnel and the tunnel was so tight around that you couldn't use your legs. You're literally climbing through the tunnel just from your arms. I did that for a few hours. The other thing was this big dance number I had to do with David Allen Brooks. I'm a trained dancer so I was comfortable with it. We practiced and practiced for hours. We did this big dance number. It was hilarious.

GeorgeXIV : If you were a rapper what would your rap name be?

C_Dobro : LOL - LOL Reynolds RAP!

IHateMTV : Are you afraid of Y2K?

C_Dobro : I haven't given it a lot of thought. I'm kind of hoping my bank has it all figured out. That's my biggest concern. I can't imagine that people have known about this for years and years and are waiting until the last minute to do something about it. That's the kind of thing that's done in movies but it seems ridiculous in real life.

Billyboo : What is something you wish people would ask you that they never do?

C_Dobro : I can't answer that. If I had a nice day???? How tall am I???

Stalker : What's the strangest thing that a fan has ever said to you?

C_Dobro : I don't know. I haven't had any like creepy things.

EyesWideO : What do you think about all the coverage of the JFK Jr. tradgedy?

C_Dobro : I was shocked to hear about it and it just seems like the family is under this horrific curse and it was very sad. I think the coverage is extreme because people still look at that family as American Royalty. It's just so tragic. It's just so horrible. It's just bizarre to me and horifically tragic. What do you say? You just wish he didn't get in the plane.

SpeedyG : If you could change one thing about your High School years what would it be?

C_Dobro : I would have been taller. ...and my hair would have been straight.

DureenaFan : I am a big fan. Do you have a fan club you endorse?

C_Dobro : There's one on the internet that I look at all the time but I can't remember the name offhand, it's bookmarked. My website's great. LOL crusadebabes.com. We sell like autographed pictures and shirts and stuff. GO THERE!

GlobeHost : LitterLarry---what is your favorite book and author please?

C_Dobro : I find an author I really like and I read like all of him. They change. Tokian, I read the trilogy every 5 years or so. Orson Scott Card, Faye Kellerman and Jonathan Kellerman I really like. They're both great. Thomas Wolfe, I really love. Dostaevsky I really love. Gabrielle Garcia Marquez, one of my favorite books. My reading is very eclectic. I read a lot of stuff on the Holocaust.

GlobeHost : KiddyKat----If you had to choose between food and sex, which would you choose?

C_Dobro : Sex. Food's not all it's cracked up to be.

ILuvMyDog : If you could be an Animal what would you be?

C_Dobro : I think if I could be any animal in a free environment (no zoos), I would be a black panther.

SunShadow1 : Since TNT did not order the back 9 episodes of "Crusade," where do the series' regulars stand right now with the production company? Are you still under contract for the project?

C_Dobro : Our contract is expired. If another network was interested, they would just have to renegotiate contracts.

moki3 : Did you take the job with B5 & Crusade for the job or was there something in the script that caught your attention?

C_Dobro : I hadn't even read full script when I accepted the job. Peter Woodward and I were hired first because we were in first movie of the week for Babylon %. I loved the character and the ideal job for television is for an actor to be in a series. It's great to work. That was Babylon 5.

Sable666 : What kind of music do you like? Where do you like to go at night?

C_Dobro : My favorite music is jazz. Jazz and then some ecclectic other bands like Dan Bern who's a brilliant lyricist. I love Smash Mouth, Amy Mann. She just married Michael Penn. ...and at night, if I go out it's just to dinner or movies or to a friend's house. I'm not a big dance party person. When I was in the Kansas City, which is full of the best music clubs, we went out a couple nights a week just to listen to music. ...music is even better than in NY.

Jim : What's been your favorite project so far in your career?

C_Dobro : My favorite so far would have to be Crusade.

DDD123 : If you didn't make it as an actor what do you think you'd be doing to make a buck?

C_Dobro : That's an interesting. My degree was in painting and sculpture and I would probably have gone on to get a Master's in sculpture and I probably would have taught at some university. That's an interesting....question.

Yarbi : Do you perfer the east coast or the west coast?

C_Dobro : Ohhhh. The East coast will always be my home but the West coast is much easier to live in. I need both.

hohoho : Who is your favorite actor that you have worked with?

C_Dobro : That would have to be my husband. We've done three plays together.

Why2Kay : Do you surf the net? What do you think about computers?

C_Dobro : I just bought a real computer 1 1/2 years ago. I used to have a Mac Classic. At first I was scared of them, I kept thinking I could break it but now I love it. We have a scanner and an editing program. It's great. I do surf the net. I think it's fabulous and it's made the world a smaller place.

GlobeHost :KYHelly----What's your favorite web site besides your own?

C_Dobro :I don't have a favorite website.I like a lot of the news sites from around the world. I read those a lot. We like E-Bay. We bought a lot of stuff off E-Bay. Ain't it Cool is okay. Fascinating guy. He started out of his parents' garage, right? It's amazing what's out there. It's amazing what's out there. And how much information you can learn. It's really self education.

Witchblade :You did voices on CD-ROM. What are the tiles?

C_Dobro :Oh dear.... They're two different animated--one is animated film, two are animated CD ROM games and I cannot remember their names to save my soul. Sorry...

Carramia : I just have to say that I think your name rocks.

C_Dobro : Which name, Doreena or Carrie????

HistBuff : If you could talk to one person in history who would it be?

C_Dobro : I would have to say that would be Hitler. ...because I can't imagine that kind of evil encapsulated in a person and what that would be like.

Carramia : Carrie haha spelling to errrr not because I share that name or anything though

C_Dobro : Thanks. My mom will thank you too!! LOL

EyesWideO : What would you like to do that you have not done yet?
