Here you will find interviews with American Pie 3 stars Hans Hernke and Sean Brewster.

Hans, thanks for taking the time to join us for this interview.

1)How did you get your role in American Pie 3?

I was working one day on the new show "Oliver Beene" for Fox, and one of the guys I was working with asked me, "Can you play football?" I said "Ya, I can but I'm not a pro lol!" He told me to give Sande Alessi a call, she's one of the casting directors for the film, so I did and I left a message for her. Didn't hear from her for days, I assumed I didn't get anything, then a few days later, her assistant called me and asked if I was available to work on the film for several work days for the next couple of months, I said yes I would be glad to! So from there on, I was booked as one of the regular football players, and I was excited to hear that Stifler (Sean William Scott) was going to be our coach. That is where the fun all started! Some of the shooting days have been cancelled due to weather, so we are scheduled to start shooting more stuff in mid-March.

2) Without giving too much away, tell us about the character you play in the third movie.

I am a football player under the brilliant direction of Stifler (Sean William Scott). We all kind of get together and help Stifler out in a certain situation, that is all I can say for now.

3) Which members of the crew and cast did you get to meet?

I really don't know who most of the crew are, but they are great to work with, and they are quick at what they do. I would pass by most of the actors and let them do their own thing you know? The actor I worked with the most was Sean William Scott, it was really a blessing how I got that scene with him. I was in the right place at the right time. Most of the lines were improv by Stifler, we did our scene about 20 times or so because the lines were funny or Sean would change the lines around. It was very hard not to laugh when Sean was speaking his lines to me. I would basically take a deep breath and focus on something negative, and when they started rolling, I stayed focused on that thought and gave my reactions without a smile to what he said. He is a natural comedic! He was a blast to work with, very open and friendly. I hope our scene does not get cut. It it does, it will more then likely be on the deleted scenes on the DVD.

4) Who was your favourite?

Sean William Scott of course!

5) Can you tell us please, are any of the original cast from the first two movies, coming back for this movie, in a small guest role?

Here is the funny thing, you'll be shocked to know that I have never seen the first 2 American Pies. I have yet to rent them on DVD and watch them! I do know that Eugene Levy, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Jason Biggs, Sean William Scott, and Alyson Hannigan are returning. That is all I know right now. Sean told me the third installment will be much better then the other 2 films. I guess it's up to our judgment to find out you know?

6) What are your plans for the future?

For 2003, I set some new goals for myself I intend to keep and stay focused on, I am taking things slowly, step by step out here. It is very important not to rush yourself. I moved out to Los Angeles about 8 months ago, and I am amazed and thankful I've made it this far with the support of my family. God, close friends, and former teachers from high school. It is a struggle to live out here, but I believe I am here for a reason. I plan to keep working, take my acting classes at AIA Actors Studio in Burbank, network with more people, and work more closely with my commercial manager to start nailing some auditions. I am still in search of a Theatrical/Television manager or agent. There's much I need to touch up on still, and I want to be 100 percent ready to present myself to other agents and people out here. If you give the wrong impression, its like a bounty or a stamp on your head, they will remember you for a long time! It blows me away how they can remember people out here. I believe 2003 will be a good year for myself and my fellow actors out here that are working just as hard. Thanks for asking me about my experience on American Pie 3. It will be in theaters August 1st 2003! God bless!

Thanks very much Hans for your time. Good luck with your upcoming movies American Pie 3, U-Boat and The Bros.

Sean thanks for taking the time out for this interview.

Hey Chris
I just got back from shooting. I had lots of fun.


1)Please tell us how did you manage to get your role in American Pie 3?

Well, I'm living in L.A. right now to go to school, but I'm orignally from San Francisco. I've been trying to get into the "biz" for a while now and a few years ago I signed up with a casting place there that casts background actors, along with commericals and print ads. A week or so ago, they called me up and asked me to do some extra work for American Pie 3. So I flew up for it. It's ironic because one of the reasons I went to school in L.A. was to pursue acting, and since then I've been called twice by this San Francisco place to do extra work (the first time was for "The Hulk", which I decided not to do).


2)Without giving too much away, tell us about your character in the third movie.

I play a "wedding guest". I'm assumed to be a friend and/or relative of the bride and groom. Nothing too exciting. I'm in the rehearsal dinner scene.


3)Who was your fave member of the cast to work with and why?

Definitely Eugene Levy. In the scene I did, Michelle's dad (played by Fred Willard) gives a toast, followed by Jim's dad (played by Eugene). I've always liked Eugene's work, and watching him give this hilarious toast was great. He seemed like a great guy when the cameras were off too. At the end of his toast, you might see me clapping in the background--it wasn't fake clapping :)


4) We all know that Alyson Hannigan, Jason Biggs, Seann W Scott, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Eugene Levy, are all returning once more. But there are any other original cast members back in even a small role for American Pie 3?

Not that I know of. They weren't in any of the scenes I did or saw filmed, but I can confirm the ones you mentioned are in it, along with Fred Willard (also funny), who I don't think anyone has listed as being in the movie yet.


5)What are your plans for the future?

Well along with being an actor, I am also in film school. I plan to continue pursuing careers both in front of and behind the camera. Maybe one day I'll get the chance to direct myself :)

As for any more news on American Pie 3, I can tell you some of the things I saw while at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay:
-Jason Biggs likes to drink Red Bulls in between takes.
-Alyson had to leave at the end of the day for L.A. -- It was her fiance's birthday that day and she wanted to surprise him. (I was waiting in the lobby with her - she was waiting for her town car to pick her up and I was waiting for my ride)
-The "MILF" guys are big smokers -- I was also waiting out front for my ride after shooting and within about an hour they came out at least twice to smoke .
-The scene I'm in is at the rehearsal dinner where Michelle's dad stands up and gives a toast follOwed by Jim's dad. Both toasts were pretty funny. Jim's dad never really says anything important in his toast - he just babbles on for 5 minutes while everyone at the table gets bored. At the end, right when Jim's dad is about to finally tell a story about Jim, a waiter comes up to him and hands him a slip of paper. He reads it out loud: "Would the owner of a brown Tercel, lisense plate # FN68L44 please move your car. You are blocking the service entrance." At that point Michelle's dad begins to clap and so does everyone else, so that Jim's dad will finish his long speech. At one point instead of saying "service entrance", Eugene accidentally said "servant's entrance". The director yelled "cut" and everyone laughed. Alyson Hannigan then said "Its 2003, we dont have servants anymore."

Thanks very much for your time Sean ;o)
