SCOTT WEINGER Q & A

Second Edition: May 11, 2005

Question: I have been a fan of your work ever since your Full House days. I thought you did a great job in Shredder as well. I have heard rumors that there might be a sequel [to SHREDDER], do you know if this is true, and will you be involved? (From: Matt O.)
Scott: Thanks for the compliment! I'm not sure about a sequel to Shredder, don't know if there's a plan for that. We had such a great time in Idaho making that movie, it would be a fun prospect.

Question: Also, do you have any other upcoming television or film projects? (From: Matt O.)
Scott: I'm currently focusing mostly on my writing, and I have several projects in the works.

Question: Are you still doing the voice of Aladdin for the Search for Mickey Mouse movie, or is that another rumor? (From: Matt O.)
Scott: I'm not sure about "The Search for Mickey Mouse." I'll keep you posted!

Question: What was it like to work [as a voice-over actor] on the movie Aladdin? (From: Kem610)
Scott: I had an amazing time working on Aladdin. Of course it was exciting to work with people like Robin WIlliams. Voice acting is a very specific skill, very different from acting in front of the camera, and I enjoyed learning the craft as we worked on the movie.

Question: What was it like to work with Gilbert Gottfried on the Aladdin trilogy and television series? (From: Rebecca)
Scott: Gilbert is a great guy, so funny. It was fun working with him and we always laugh a lot when we see each other.

Question: Based on the insight we've seen from Aladdin, Aladdin the series, and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, what do you think Aladdin was like as a child? (From: AladdinsGenie886)
Scott: I'm not sure what Aladdin was like as a child, but the early version of the film, when there was still a mother character, suggests that he was still very much a "diamond in the rough." He was a charming, trouble-making, independent kid who got himself into hot water often but always knew he'd eventually make his mother proud.

Question: What is your favorite scene from "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" and why? (From: Samantha, a.k.a. Salukfan)
Scott: It would be hard to pick out a favorite scene -- I really enjoyed the entire movie! Of course it was great to have Robin Williams back in the film, so anything involving him was a great pleasure.

Question: Who is your favorite author? (From: Nicola)
Scott: My favorite author is Hemingway. In fact, I wrote my college thesis about him and spent time in Paris studying Hemingway's early years there.
