THE 2014 DUTCH #ROOKIEBLUE FAN PAGE INTERVIEW WITH BEN BASS “Talking S5, Sam & Andy The Fans, Broadway and More…” ©Copyright: Ben Bass (@BenBassOfficial) and The Dutch Rookie Blue fan page (@RookieBlueNed) by Murielle Wouters (@MurielleWouters) 1. WOW already the 5th Season of #RookieBlue that means a “milestone”! How does that make you feel? I'm very grateful that we've made it this far. My manager quipped, "Well, 5 years. That means it's a bona fide success." which made me laugh. I feel good about what we've done. And I hope this year we'll be able to cover some ground we haven't yet covered. I will say that it's crazy how fast it all goes, at the end of the day! 2. There will be 22 instead of 13 episodes this season. Is it different to shoot so many episodes comparing to the previous seasons? It is very different. I think we're all happy about it. We'll have to pace ourselves and make sure we don't get burned out. Having said that, I think that's something that happens automatically. We all know what it takes to get 13 done. Now, we'll be careful to spread our energy over 9-ish months instead of 6. We get two significant breaks, which will help. I think the greatest challenge is for the writers. It's a huge undertaking, 22 instead of 13. 3. What intrigues you the most about playing Sam Swarek? By that I mean what did you learn as an actor by playing this role? I've learned many things. What intrigues me about playing Sam or any role is to see if I can get outside the box with it. Whenever I admire a performance by an actor (female or male) there's usually something off beat about it. Unless it's just pure genius. Jason Bateman does a cameo in a film called SMOKIN' ACES that floors me. I'm continually practicing being brave enough to try different things every time I do a take. My old method was to try to come up with the best choice for me and take three arrows to hit that bullseye. Now, I'd rather try to hit 3 different bullseye(s) with my 3 arrows. It's a risk, but I think I learn more and stretch myself further by doing that. 4. During our interview last year you mentioned and I quote: “Unfortunately for Sam, the choices he makes in season 4 don't just affect him, but those closest to him. At the end of it all, there may be some people who believe Sam gets what's coming to him...” I’m wondering if you got feedback from the #RookieBlue fans about this? Cause I truly believe that the fans want nothing but the best for Sam. Well, there may have been a few folks that felt that way. But, it's true; most of the fans I've been in contact with seem to be rooting for Sam. He's a complicated guy but his hearts in the right place and he's willing to grow. In order to be willing and able to grow, one's got to know there's growing to be done in the first place, if you take my meaning. Sam's learning that. And Andy is worth doing anything for, right? 5. One of my favourite #RookieBlue S4 episodes was “Friday the 13th Al Sapienza. You guys were beyond comparison. So good! Would really love to see you both working together in another series or film. Are there any plans of that might be happening in the future? No plans as yet. Al is a terrific actor and we were very lucky and grateful to have him. I learned a lot and hope to act with him again. One actress I would really love to work with is Melissa McCarthy. I love her. She'd wipe the floor with me but I think I'd learn tons and have a ball doing it. 6. Just have to ask this question for all the #RookieBlue #McSwarek fans Do you think they have a “shot” at getting back together this season? Ummm, yesssss??????????????????????? 7. What’s your favourite way of spending a “day off” from #RookieBlue set? Ooooooo, good question. Hanging with my wife in the countryside. Which I never get to do. 8. You mentioned on Twitter that you are working on a Broadway play. Can you already share some information about it? We are going to be putting up Hamlet (Off-Broadway actually) next year. It's going to be modern, accessible, dangerous, fun and short. Ha! The fans will dig it and I think theatergoers in general will enjoy our different take on it. 9. Besides Laura and acting another great passion in your life is music. How come? Would you ever consider being a fulltime musician when given the opportunity? Musicians have a harder time than actors. I would only do music as a hobby or as part of a play. I do hope to find the time some day to play around town, wherever I'm living. That would be a blast. I keep up my practicing to that end. I still love it. My ideal is to be taking lessons all the time. I have a great Jazz teacher in L.A. Can't wait to get back with him!!!! 10. If David Hayman would ask you to choose a #RookieBlue song for Sam to tell Andy how he feels about her which song would you choose and why? I have to think about that. Please ask me again in 2 months!!!! 11) What can we expect in tonight’s #RookieBlue S5 premiere episode? A little “spoiler” to end this interview would be amazing! Well, Sam doesn't die... PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM BEN “Also, please tell the fans I've been remiss in my Twitter visits and I'm sorry. It's because I keep thinking I'll have a couple hours together to hang. I think it may be best for me to do shorter sessions. Just to make sure I get the visits in. I'm a little too all or nothing most of the time. Got to find a little more in between!!!!!! A little more moderation. Hope you guys are all well!!” xo ©Copyright: Ben Bass (@BenBassOfficial) and The Dutch Rookie Blue fan page (@RookieBlueNed) by Murielle Wouters (@MurielleWouters) |

You're an idiot and if you don't figure that out soon you're going to lose Andy for good. Take it from me. -Luke Callaghan to Sam Swarek Tumblr | |
