Q&A with Mark!

[kristanci]

Good news!!! Just like the title explains, I asked Mark if he'd be willing to do a Q&A for us, and he agreed. Please post any questions you would like to ask him, but please keep in mind that there is a time limit on this. After a period of one week, I will close the thread and collect all the questions. A selection will be sent to Mark.

Please respect his privacy. I cannot stress this enough. If there is a question like "Who are you dating?" or "What type of girl do you like," I will discard it.

Feel free to post questions regarding his role on Siroc, about his acting, voice acting, and his music. To make sure no questions are repeated, please visit his website. www.mark-hildreth.com. There is an interview posted there. Have at it!


UPDATE: Oh, and please copy and paste previous questions in your most recent post. That way I won't miss any questions when I gather them.

To start off with:

When composing, do you start with lyrics or the melody?

The one posted up on his Web site, Kris, is the one I proctored about a year and half ago through his forum - before Tabby took it down for the redesign. I actually think it's posted on here too - somewhere lost in these multiple threads.

Also a reminder and to reiterate what Kris said, he will not answer relationship questions, personal etc. So don't waste your words. Although he does answer stuff like favorite colors (blue) and favorite food (sushi) and the like. But hopefully you won't waste questions on small stuff like that when he's done so much more since the last time he did a fan question run down for us.

Way to take the initiative, Kris. I've been meaning to set another one up with him, but the 60 hour work week - kinda kickin' my rear.

"Dear Mark. We have found out that Ramon was supposed to be 28 years old in the YB series. How about Siroc and the other characters? How old were they supposed to be?"

Oh, and:

"Being the genius that he is, do you think that Siroc ever figured out that Jacques was really a woman?"

If you had your choice of any anime character you could voice, who would it be?

Is there any chance that we will be seeing any sheet music from you?

Many writers, musicians, and actors have run into a creativity road block sometime during their career. Some set their projects aside for a while and some work on something entirely different. What do you do when you find yourself staring at that temporary wall?

Of all the roles you have portrayed, what roles have you related to most? What type of role do you feel would challenge you and make you exceed your limitations?

In the Young Blades series, there were episodes that focused strongly on an individual character. For Siroc, it was "Da Vinci's Notebook." If the series had progressed for a second season, what type of episode do you think would have featured Siroc's character? How do you think Siroc would have developed in the second season?

** I'm adding more to get the brainstorming effect going.

-What's it like working on The Tudors?

-How did you become involved with the show?

-Is playing an historical character any different than playing a fictional one in terms of preparation, etc.?

Would you be interested in portraying Siroc again?

If you were to portray Siroc again how would you like to see him grow or branch out?

If you were to portray Siroc again how would you feel about an episode in which he sings?

Did you have a favorite episode of Young Blades?

Many of your fans have received a demo cd a couple years ago. One of the songs, "Ready to Fall", was featured on it, and it is now part of "Complex State of Attachment" though there are a couple of changes that were made in the final version. Why did you make those changes?

[kristanci]

I will be closing this thread by end of day tomorrow. If you guys want to ask anything else, please post questions. Thanks!

[mho]

oops I wish I had found this thread sooner. Is there anyway you could keep it open for questions for a few more days so that I can make a post on Marks fansite about it and get more questions from his fans?

markhildreth.hollywood.com/

[kristanci]

No problem. I'll extend it until Monday. Sound good? It's the weekend, so fans should be checking their computers

[mho]

That's perfect thank you! On Monday Ill bring all the questions over here.

Can you describe the different emotions you feel when you're on stage? When you're recording in the studio?

What is your biggest accomplishment in your career so far(either music or acting)?


Do you ever think about posting more videos? even if they are not full blogs but like 20 second snippets of randomness?

Have you ever recorded songs and not released them or written songs and not recorded them? if so why?

what was your reaction when you learned you were going to be in Pirates 3?

I've been looking forward to your Street Team, when will that get under way?

CSOA was an amazing album, well we see a music video to any of the songs on it?

How many episodes of "The Tudors" do we all have to look forward to?

What's the latest on Pvt. Wars and Getting Back to America?

Did you enjoy working on Eureka? Was it nice playing a character with superpowers and was it weird wearing the tights?

You made changes to a few of your old songs and put them on CSOA was it difficult doing so and why did you do so?
