Jeremy Sumpter
Hi everyone, thanks for coming to the chat.

Actors Domain
Hey Jeremy! Glad that you made it in tonight! Lots of people are
here, ready to ask their questions!

Actors Domain
How have things been going for you lately?

Jeremy Sumpter
Things are going pretty good. I'm getting better at golf, I'm surfing
a lot. I had my 18th birthday...

Jeremy Sumpter
and I reading a lot of scripts.

Actors Domain
Nearly done with the teenage years :) Now that people are submitting their questions, let me find a good one to start off with.

Actors Domain
If you haven't submitted your question, you can do so now, or wait a few minutes!

SHAEJ
How was the experience of CSI? Are in project others episodes with your presence?

Jeremy Sumpter
CSI: Miami was fun because I got to play a bad guy, and I got to drive a motorcycle.

Jeremy Sumpter
I'm only doing one episode.

Jeremy Sumpter
The show is really well organized and I saw a lot of people I knew from previous productions.

TiffAny
Hi Jeremy! Among all the characters you have played, which one is most like you?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hi TiffAny, the character most like me was probably Pete from Clubhouse because I still play a lot of baseball. I put a lot of me in Peter Pan but I'm not as much like Peter any longer.

Squisherific
How would you describe your character Gavin from the Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, and do you think you have anything in common with your character?

Jeremy Sumpter
Gavin is a total nerd probably not as much like me, he's the most interesting character I've played since he's least like me so it made it harder to play. Good question Squisherific.

Jeremy Sumpter
that didn't come out quite right but I think you got the idea.

Amanda
Hi Jeremy this is Amanda, If you were not an actor would you attend college next year? If so what would you choose as a major?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hi Amanda, it's hard to say since I'm not going to attend college anytime soon since I am concentrating on my acting career. If I weren't an actor I would be a director and go to college for that.

Bonnie
What are some personal and/or career-oriented changes that you've noticed in yourself from the beginning of your career until now?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey Bonnie, I think I'm pretty much the same guy I was when I came out to LA from Kentucky in 2000. There are some changes since people come up to me all the time to talk to me, but I think I'm just the same old country boy I always was.

Sofia
Hi, Jeremy. You played a great nerd in Sasquatch Dumpling Gang! Is there anything geeky about you in real life?

Jeremy Sumpter
Thanks Sofia. Like I said earlier, I am really nothing like Gavin. I can't think of anything that I do that is geeky.

fee{SANNAH9
hey jeremy i am sannah :) i am 9:) And i want to know what music you listen to ??? ^_^

Jeremy Sumpter
I still listen to classic rock, sannah. My favorites are still Boston, the Rolling Stones and a new band I like is the Fray.

rosie0440
You said you were getting better at golf, what is your best score ever?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey rosie, my best score so far is 75. I usually average 80 or 81. My longest drive is 360 yards, although my average drive is 290.

golfer258
Hi~ I hope all is well :) What is your favorite golf course you have golfed in? Happy Belated Birthday Mr. 18 year old- you

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey golfer, do you know Old Silo in my hometown of Mt. Sterling, Kentucky? That's my favorite course. It's a great course and not very expensive.

Merielle
Since you like to golf, as do i, are you planning to attend the nissan open for finals? since the event is pretty close by BTW Happy Belated Birthday to you and your sister! <3

Jeremy Sumpter
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Merielle. Jessy and I had separate parties for our birthday. She went up to Monterey while I had friends over for dinner. Unfortunately I won't be going to the Nissan Open though it would be a blast if I could.

David
Hey Jeremy, Happy birthday to u and ur Sister i hope it waz a Good one, so Wat did u Get for ur birthday.

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey David, I got new laptop which was cool, a shirt and a few other things.

rosie0440
Do you think you will be getting your own place any time soon?

Jeremy Sumpter
Not right away. I'll probably stay home another year. I'm remodeling my room.

Marisa
Describe your character in CSI:Miami?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hi Marisa, my character is a bad boy who is a womanizer. There are a couple of murders...it's CSI, you have to expect that. I'm looking forward to see it on Monday.

Squisherific
An American Crime definitely sounds like a pretty heavy movie. Did you read anything further about Sylvia Likens, aside from the script for the film, and how did her story affect you?

Jeremy Sumpter
I researched Coy somewhat. Reading the script really gave me a lot of information on her sad story. It was not an easy script to read and will be a difficult movie to watch but I am hoping that it opens eyes to child abuse that still goes on today.

Kassie
What attracted you to the part of coy Hubbard in An American Crime?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey Kassie, Coy was one of the bad boys who thought he was cool by smoking, etc. After playing Pete in Clubhouse and Gavin in Sasquatch, I wanted to try something different.

Lissa
Hey there, Jeremy! What was it like working with Ellen Page on An American Crime ?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey Lissa, working with Ellen was great. She is an amazing actress. If you watch her in Hard Candy, you'll see what a brilliant actress she is.

Marissa
Got any exciting plans for Spring Break?

Jeremy Sumpter
I don't have any definite plans, but I wouldn't mind going back to Hawaii. There is some great surfing there.

Squisherific
Name your dream role. What kind of film would you most like to be a part of right now?

Jeremy Sumpter
I would like to do a big action movie or maybe do a horror film.

Kayla21089
Hi Jeremy...Does being an actor ever get so stressful, you feel like quitting?

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey Kayla, it does get stressful, the hours are terrible, but I would never quit. It's just too much fun.

Pete
What's the best thing about being 18?...for me it's the way my parents don't treat me as a kid anymore!

Jeremy Sumpter
Hey Petra, being 18 means I don't need my parent's permission to go out. It's good to have a little more responsibility.

ArwenRivendell
Jeremy, we met at premier of The Binge, if there was one thing you could do to bring hope to the others, what would it be?

Jeremy Sumpter
Glad you could come to the screening. I'm excited to be working with a new charity called One Village, One World where a group of people adopt a village in Africa. I'm looking forward to possibly going to Africa sometime this year. We'll have more details about the charity and what you can do to help on the web site soon.

Squisherific
Can you describe your favorite scene from the "Sasquatch Dumpling Gang"?

Jeremy Sumpter
Its hard to describe if you haven't scene it, but there is one scene where Hobie is writing in his diary about what he is going to do. It's really funny.

peter_pan1994
Hi Jeremy, did you like Australia, do you think you will ever come back....which state would you like to go to in Australia?

Jeremy Sumpter
Australia is great. I was there for 11 months and really loved it. I liked Surfer's Paradise where we stayed during the filming of Peter Pan. There are an awful lot of geckos in Queensland though!

Ryan
If you had a choice to work on any new major productions, which would you most like to work on? would you prefer to be a bad guy in a movie, or are you more of a relaxed, none-action type of guy who would prefer to be considered the hero of the movie? :P

Jeremy Sumpter
Hi Ryan, playing the bad guy is really much more fun than being the hero but I like to play a variety of roles. It gets boring to play the same kind of character over and over.

Veera
Hey Jeremy!What is the movie you would have liked to be in? And if you were a director, who would you choose to act in your movie (if it's possible to choose)? Happy belated birthday!:)

Jeremy Sumpter
Thanks Veera, I would have liked to be in Spiderman 3 or something like Ghostrider. If I was directing a movie, I would like to work with Scarlett Johanson, Jessica Alba or Tom Hanks.

Actors Domain
