Dear Jason,
First off, a very heartfelt thank you for lending
us some of your time to answer our questions! Especially during the busy season it is :) I want to be clear that if any of
these questions are ones you'd rather not answer, please don't feel pressured to do so.
Also, another favor, if I may
. . . would it be possible for you to attach an image of yourself that I can show next to the interview when it is posted?
Most of the photos I have are outdated. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Sierra

Q: It is pretty well known amongst fans that you
were an avid baseball player growing up, but what other hobbies did you enjoy? Did you train in martial arts for some time
before landing your role on Power Rangers?
I was always a very active athlete growing up playing football, basketball, and baseball throughout
high school and then of course on to college and briefly pro baseball. I did train in martial arts for around a year.
Jeet Kune Do which is the martial arts of Bruce Lee, combining several different styles of martial arts. I did not take
it for Power Rangers but I'm sure it helped to get the part.
Q: What was your take on your roles as Wes/Alex
on Time Force? Most fans have their own opinions, but as an actor, I'm sure you had to have yours.
Q: Your at-the-time fiancee, and now
wife, was in the episode Movie Madness with you, I believe...is she still doing any TV appearances and/or movies? Did
you meet through show business?
I met my wife while waiting tables years ago. She is not currently working but is a
full time mother as we had our first child 8 months ago, Keira Marlene Faunt. She is also a pilates
instructor when she can work.
Q: In an interview months ago, it was said
you and your wife were expecting your first child in May, I'm sure you know many of us fans have wondered whether it was a
boy or girl . . . do you mind giving us the answer?
Just saw your next question. Baby girl.

Q: According to fellow castmembers, you
were a resident prankster on the set of Time Force. Care to share any memories?
Pranks, there were so many but the best one
I really can't say. There was one where after we were done filming one of the episodes Michael and I doused the girls
with buckets of water. They were shocked we did it and actually not too happy. They laugh now though. Most
of the others were a little more risky and to understand them you would have to know my sense of humor.
Q: Besides Erin Cahill, do you maintain
contact with any other castmates?
I had lunch with Michael Copon yesterday, still
talk to Erin Cahill, Dan Southworth and Vernon Wells, Sean Johnson also.
Q: What was your first role on television
and/or movie? How did you land it?
My first role was on the soap opera Sunset Beach about 7 years ago, delivering a package to one
of the stars. I had three lines and still have that footage. I got that role b/c I was going to be an extra on
the show that day and there was a torrential downpour. No one else but me showed up so they were so impressed they gave
me the opportunity to read for the small part. I did, got the role and my SAG card because of it. Being lucky never
hurts right?
Q: Anymore projects coming from Bubsy in
the near future? Or from any other production companies?
Nick has partnered with the director of Pact and
finished up several scripts, coincidentally they are being sent out by the management company tomorrow. I am set to
play one of the roles should it go through. We hope that 2006 will be a good year and I truly believe our time has arrived.
"Pact" did go through production and went to several festivals. Other than that it has been a good calling card for
us as actors and producers.
Q: Where in the world did the name "Bubsy"
come from?
Nick Bianchi and I met years ago and have always
nicknamed each other Bubsy. For whatever reason that's what it was and of course we named our production company Bubsy
Entertainment.
Q: You and Nicholas Bianchi worked on a
short film together entitled Flip, which is not as well-known as Pact, did it ever go through production?
"Flip" has not been filmed yet but is the first project we
want to shoot when financing comes in.
Q: What inspired you to get into the acting
career? Who are role models in the business?
