Partial transcript:

Dave Ryan: You know, it’s so weird. Sometimes in this business, you know, you just like open the studio door, and like, in walks JC Chasez. And he’s just like a normal dude. He’s like, “Hey Dave, what’s up?”

Cassie: Kinda tired, long night…

DR: Yeah. And then he goes over and he’s making coffee. Now listen, I wanna tell you, JC, if I were you…

JC Chasez: Yeah.

DR: I would point to Eric and I’d say, “Eric…” This is your, what? Manager? Friend? Assistant, whatever…

Follow up:

FD: And snap your fingers! “Make me my coffee.”

DR: …accountant.

Cassie: [Laughs] Yeah, right!

DR: And uh, I’d say, “Eric. Make me some coffee.” But you’re doing your own thing over here.

JC: Because I want it made my way.

DR: Now you would think - now see, if I achieved your level of fame and success, I would definitely have somebody who followed me around and made coffee my way.

JC: Well, hey. I mean, you know, maybe I need to step it up a little bit.

DR: What is your way? How do you like your coffee? ‘Cause I bet nobody’s ever asked you this in an interview before. Have they?

JC: No, nobody’s ever asked me that. It just depends on my mood, I guess. Sometimes I drink it straight black, sometimes I do a little cream and sugar. I don’t like it to be swimming in cream and sugar.

DR: No. Now when you go to Starbucks, what do you order at Starbucks?

JC: Um, uh…I don’t go to Starbucks…

DR: Really? You don’t go to Starbucks?

JC: I do, but it’s not that often. And usually it’s - everybody, I’m like everybody else - I like that chai latte.

DR: The chai is good stuff, isn’t it? Good stuff. Yeah, I think they put crack in there, I’m not sure.

[Laughter]

DR: Now you are here - you’re in town, you’re working on a movie, right?

JC: Uh, yeah. The movie is called Dead of Night. I was very fortunate to do this movie. It’s a great group of people. It came about - I met the director while I was in California and he - I guess the guy had me in mind, I didn’t even have to really read for it.

DR: Really.

JC: Yeah, he just wanted to meet me, and we ended up having lunch at some Hollywood cafe…

DR: Nice, nice.

JC: [Laughs] And uh, we sat down and, you know, he just, I guess he paid attention to the stuff I’ve done over the years and he really liked my energy and things like that. And after sitting down and having a little lunch with him I just, I loved the guy’s enthusiasm. His name’s Jeff Fisher, he’s the director and writer, and uh…

DR: Okay.

JC: …that was it, I was sold right then, you know. The fact that he was excited, he was passionate, you know, it made me feel comfortable right away.

DR: Now had you done - I mean, obviously in your business, you know, you’re emoting, you’re kind of acting all the time. Is this your most serious acting thing to date?

JC: Well, uh, this…I mean, I’ve done different things. What it is, is this is the first film I’ve done. I’ve been in other films, I guess, but this is the first time I’ve done a film where I’m not just scenery.

DR: Ah.

JC: I mean, I’ve done TV shows and things like that, but this film is the first time I’ve stepped out and jumped in and been a character where people kinda get involved with that person.

DR: Now JC, are you taking it seriously or are you kinda showin’ up late, goin’ the Lindsay Lohan way where you come in last minute?

JC: No, no, I take it seriously, man. I was excited about it, you know. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and so when the opportunity came about - and again, it was with somebody who was so enthusiastic about what they were doing, I was excited to do it. And so I took it very seriously, you know, I wanted to know all my lines and didn’t want to show up and be a slacker, man. I was ready.

Cassie: How long are you here for?

JC: I’m actually, I leave this afternoon. I just popped in for literally like two days and then I roll. ‘Cause it’s a quick shooting schedule. They shot like seven pages yesterday. And you know, I’m not like the lead role or anything, I’m just kinda like one of the supporting roles, and so…

Cassie: It is really quick.

JC: Yeah, it’s quick.

DR: Are you done shooting already? Are you done with your part?

JC: Yeah, I did all my pages yesterday.

DR: Because I was gonna tell the listeners where to go to watch you…

JC: [Laughs]

DR: …as you’re filming and yell things like “We love you, JC!”

Cassie: “You’re the best!”

JC: You know, I ended up meeting a few people like that yesterday, and they were really nice and stuff like that. It was funny ’cause some of the cast, you know, they got a giggle out of it, you know, when the kids kinda walk up and say, “Can I take your picture?” They would just kind of giggle at me and stuff like that. They were like, “That’s nuts!” And of course three hours later, all of a sudden they’re the ones that - they were too cool at first to take a picture, and now all of a sudden they’re like, “Hey bro, uh, listen, um…”

DR: [Laughs]

JC: “…it’s for my cousin…” Uh, yeah.

DR: “Can you sign this shirt for me?”

JC: Exactly. “Listen, it’s not for me, it’s for my cousin…and so, uh, hey, can you put your arm around me?”

DR: Now, if you don’t mind, JC - we’re talking to JC Chasez, and first of all, can I get some love for saying your name right? ‘Cause I’m sure a lot of people say ‘Shah-sezz,’ right?

JC: Yeah, for sure, man. I’ve gotten every kind of bad pronunciation there is. I get ‘Chavez’ from time to time, and there’s no V, you know.

Cassie: Do you correct people or just let it roll?

JC: I let it roll. I mean, if I get the chance I’ll be like, “Hey, listen, it’s ‘Sha-zay’,” but most of the time I just let it roll, man.

DR: Cassie’s been here for a week, and my name’s Dave, she still calls me Dick.

Cassie: [Laughs]

JC: Wooow!

DR: I’m not really sure what that’s…

JC: I know why. [Laughs]

DR: What are you implying??

Cassie: There’s other words too besides Dick.

DR: What’s that all about? Hey, we’re gonna come back in a second. If you’ve got a minute, we’ve got some people on the phone who wanna say hi to you.

JC: Yeah, sure.

DR: ‘Cause on your MySpace you told people to call up and ask JC some questions.

JC: Indeed.

DR: So we’ll give you the chance to do that, comin’ up next.
