INTERVIEW

Q&A :: Joseph Halsey

On his role as James in the film "Dear J"...

Joseph Halsey as James Q: How did you get your start in film?
A: I have always wanted to entertain people. I have been fortunate to achieve that through many different vehicles….including film. I enjoy provoking thought and feelings in people…film is one of the best mediums for that.

Q: How do you choose which roles you accept?
A: 1) How does the role affects me on a personal level? 2) Does the role have the essence to provoke thought in other people? And finally... 3) Will my mom approve of it?

Q: What “lesson from mom” do you still live by today?
A: When I was in my teens and going out on my first date with a young lady…My Uncle Charlie told me to treat her with the same respect that I would want any man to treat my mother…and I will be fine. I have applied that to all people since.

Q: What was the challenge of playing the role of James?
A: Making James as strong as his is weak.

Q: What was the most challenging scene for you?

Q: What did you enjoy about working on this film?
A: Great people.

Q: Who are your influences? Who inspires you?
A: All people influence me… I can’t pick any one person over another to credit with molding me and my views. Inspirations in my life lie with my family.

Q: What’s the craziest thing you have done?
A: Wow! Let’s not go there...
