10 Questions with 10 Actors by Barbara Janice Kielhofer
Actor #8: Zack Griffiths
1. What made you realize you wanted be an actor? Getting cast as David in my 8th grade play, David and Lisa. Oh, the ego strokes… 2. What makes someone a New Yorker? An intimate knowledge of the NYC Subway System (including connections). 3. If you weren’t an actor what would be your ideal occupation? Always wanted to be a freelance photographer/writer working for National Geographic. Maybe I can play one on TV. 4. Who (or what) is your mortal enemy? FEAR….and, strangely enough, Garret–who would have guessed it, Sean– (though Garret was this one’s first name, and unfortunately, I knew him on a personal basis) a redheaded fat kid who used to push me around in 6th grade until he moved (thank god) out of town. Does Pat Garret have red hair, Sean? Perhaps we’re on to something… 5. Movies or theatre? Tough one. I certainly see more movies but just because most theater is usually so damn expensive. So, movies for day to day practicality and theater for excitement and experience. 6. Who’s your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional? New York City. It is a character in of itself. (didn’t have to delete that one Sean, thanks) 7. What’s your favorite vice? If I’m being safe, commercial free Episodic Television. 8. What do you hate most about living in New York? The Winters– no wait–the Summers. 9. If age, type, or gender were no issue what would your dream role be? A film starring me as Margaret Thatcher playing Lincoln in a broadway play. (I didn’t watch the Oscars, did you?) 10. If you could give one piece of advice to yourself at the age of 12, what would it be? Get that stick outta your a**
