1.	Lorena, Texas, USA Q. Sean what are your likes and dislikes of being famous?
	A. I don't like being famous, I love the work and I like the money. The fame just comes with it.
2	TJ, Florida, USA Q. How did it feel to see yourself defy gravity on the bigscreen?
	A. Have to think about that one.

	A. If you are for real then that's damn cool and I do indeed. Extreme were truly superb and one of the most misunderstood bands.
4.	Emily, Maine, USA Q. Do you plan to do any more big Hollywood movies like Harry Potter was?
	A. It's not so much the matter of me planning it as me being lucky enough to be asked to get involved. I am already ahead of the game being part of Harry Potter. I don't have any bad feelings toward big commercial projects unlike a lot of actors (maybe that will come with experience).

24.	Danii, Colorado, USA Q. As a science nerd, are you familiar with the groundbreaking research of Doctors McLure and Vagabond?
	A. Yes I am. I thought Dr. McLure's book "How to Extrapolate the Universe from a Fistful of Funk" was particularly thought provoking.
25.	Pavi, Toronto, Canada Q. How do you modify your acting from on the stage to behind the camera?
	A. Still working on it. On the most basic level stage acting involves being larger than life in terms of your voice movement (facial expressions, etc.), whereas with a camera in your face everything has to get toned down. However this is an overly simple way of describing it. It is not even like I have mastered it yet.
