1) What was your favorite subject in High School?
Favorite subject in high school was creative writing? hahah if you can count that. Otherwise I'd have to say science...(marine biology).


2) If you weren't an actress, what do you think you would do right now?
If I wasn't an actress, I'd either be doing my music more full time... I'd be a public speaker and/or studying and trying to finish my degree for speech and communications for children.

3) Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood. Would you ever like to play a vampire? Which one of these shows/movie would you choose for yourself?
I'd have to go with Twilight since it's the only one I've seen and hell ya I'd play a vampire, that would be sweet!

4) Is there any chance you will come to the UK and do signings?
I'd absolutly love to come to the UK to do signings. Just waiting for the right time and opportunity !

5) The entire process of making a movie must be really awesome! Hanging out with cast & crew and just goofing around on set! Which movie would you say has been your most memorable experience?
Most memorable is hard... Step up 2 was so amazing cause it was first and I got to play with soooo many dancers allll the time! Sorority Row was great cause it was 5 chicks that were amazing! And Mother's day was such a blast cause I made 3 new brothers that became my best friends !

6) What do you look for when reading a script? Is there anything specific that would draw you into playing a role?
I look for something different... something I havent done or something that has never been done! I love edgy characters that really make me challenge myself... I love character pieces that are nothing like me... I'd love to play a deaf girl, a disabled person, a blind person... Someone that really puts a message out there for people that are struggling and going through some of the things that I will one day get to play and show that it doesn't matter what or who you are, it matters how you deal...

7) What does an average day for you consist of?
Average day is the gym, food, tv/video games, family and friends hanging out, and meetings or auditions (depending on the day). I love riding my bike, hiking and playing with my puppies !

8) What is your most favorite video game? How many do you own?
I probably own about 25 video games... My boyfriend and I are now adding to our collection so together there's a lot more... I love all the old school Mario games, Super smash brothers... and then all the new ones like Red dead redemption. I love all the zombie fighting ones. Basically if you can have a huge machine gun and save the world I'm in!

9) Which one your movies was the biggest challenge for you?
Biggest challenge was Burning Bright ... I was by myself and very lonely and very exhausted from all the physical work I had to put into it.... It was also my favorite film because I had to challenge myself and really bring something to the table every single day ...


10) Has being famous ever been a problem for you? In any way?
I don't even like to call it being famous... That's the part that unfortunetly comes with actors jobs... it hasn't effected me, sometimes it's annoying when you're out and about trying to enjoy yourself but I feel like I've been pretty well respected and I've really appreciated that!

MARCH 2010

1) If you had to choose between dancing and acting, which would you pick? (Rebecca)
If I had to choose between acting and dancing I‘d pick acting... I used to say dancing but now that I‘m 23 and have gone through a bad injury I‘m a little scared of dancing like I used to... I love dancing because you can show so many emotions through the stories you make up... but now in acting I not only get to show my emotions, but I get to play people and become these characters that aren‘t me! which is one of the coolest things ever...

2) Whats the worst pick-up line that has ever been use on you and did it work? :) haha (Keelan)
Worst pick up like was when a guy at a dive bar asked me "Do you need an optomologist?" and I said "Uhhh, I don‘t know?" (I didn‘t even know what one is and still don‘t) but I thought it was an eye doctor and so did he because he then said.... "because I can‘t figure out why you‘re not looking at me." haha I loved it. It didn‘t work, but I did talk to him for the next 20 minutes because I thought he was hilarious and he had the balls to say something funny, not annoying!

3) Everyone knows you‘re a dancer and an actress. Have you ever thought of pursuing a career in music? (Esmée)
I‘ve thought about pursuing my music career my whole life.. and still very much plan on bringing music into everything I do. Music is the best thing ever! I plan to get my songs on all the soundtracks of the films I do and hopefully start selling them to other films and other performers.

What's one thing you have that you would want to keep forever? (Jackie)
One thing I‘d want to keep forever is a photo of my first dog Bear. He‘s still very much with me and I have his oldest photo right next to my bed still for I wanna say over 10 years.

4) Would you ever want to write and produce your own movie? (Dej)
I‘d love to write and produce my own films. I‘m starting to work on that now actuallly. I‘m starting with getting in on the producing side and working with writers, becuase I‘m not the greatest writer in the world! I have great stories but don‘t know how to get them all out in order ! I‘d also love to direct some day but want plenty of experience as an actor before I start doing anything like that ...

5) If you could be a guest on any daytime show (Ellen, Oprah, Letterman, etc...) where would you want to go? (Darlynn)
I‘d love to be on the Ellen show... she‘s fun and funny and those are two things I love. Pretty simple, and she loves to dance so we‘d have fun together.

6) You did Sorority Row and partly experienced the life of a sorority girl. Would you join sorority if you were in college? (October)
I would not join a sorority in college... thank god I got to do it only in a movie. No offense to sorority sisters but it‘s just not for me! Too much drama and I hate drama.

7) What is the funniest moment of your life? (Anna)
The funniest moment of my life... well there's a lot, but one of them would be when I was in one of those virtual tour ride things you sit in .. the little black ones? 2 seaters... with my old friend from junior high Mary Kate Olsen... we decided to take off our seatbelts even though the thing goes upside down and spins.. well I broke through the screen that we were watching. We were laughing so hard the whole thing was silent inside except you could hear banging which was me smashing into the walls... here it goes... I started peeing because I was laughing so hard. I peed alll over the tiny room and I‘m guessing a little bit on my buddy, so embaressing, and when we stepped out of the thing everyone was looking at us , my jeans were obviously wet and we clearly broke this little ride... AND if I‘m correct we left immediatly after this or might have even been asked to leave. MK and I laughed about it for months.

NOVEMBER 2009

1) Which qualities do you like in boys? Not the looks but personality. (Kasper)

I like when guys are funny over everything... Humor can really win me over!!!! It makes them charming without having to be charming! Someone that shows freedom, respect, and loyalty as a friend is a winner to me .. Then come the looks after.... A guy can be sooo goodlooking and say the wrong thing or have too big of an ego and their looks will disapear immediately!

2) When you were 13 or 15, who was your celebrity crush? (Anna)

My celebrity crush was Josh Hartnett and Leonardo DiCaprio.

3) Are you a religious person? (Travis)

I'm christian but don't have crazy religious beliefs. I believe there's a higher power... I call him God but who knows? I don't like to push religion and I believe there's so many religions that you should just believe what fits you best ! It can always change.

4) Do people recognize you on the street? Do they stop you and ask for an autograph or a picture? (Adriana)

I get stopped often lots of photos for sure but I love the fans so I'm always open to say hello! Paparazzi are a different story! Uhhhhhhhh.

5) Are you a Twilight fan? If so, are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? (Claire)

Not a huge Twilight fan... I do respect what's been done though and would have to be on Team Edward but have to see New Moon to really know!

6) Would you say 'yes' to a TV show? For example something like "Grey's Anatomy" or "Gossip Girl"? (Steve)

Depends on the show... Yes to "Grey's Anatomy" no to "Gossip Girl"... I'd do something like "24" as well "Desperate Housewives"... "Weeds" that kinda show, but I'm def only doing film for now.

7) How do you feel about the fact that someone takes their time to run a website like BEO that is updated almost every day with the latest and most complete news about you? (JD)

The fact that I have a fan page and it happens to be run by the dopest chick ever is amazing!!! Michaela even updates me! Haha, sounds funny but true! I've also been able to trust the girl that runs it so much I just have to say I'm lucky someone wants to put that much time into me and the fans... So so grateful!

8) Is there anybody you would love to work with on a movie? Your dream co-star? (Becca)

There are so many people I hope to work with, Robert DeNiro, Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams, Adam Sandler.... The list truly goes on... I probably have a list of like 25!

MARCH 2009

1) How has your life changed since SU2? (Sophia)

Sophia, my life since Step Up has only slightly changed. I still have the same friends plus some new wonderful ones from working and I still have my family which are two of the most important things in my life. I finally moved out of my parents house and got my own place which has been so wonderful for me to grow on my own and really appreciate all that I've worked for in the past 2 years. Now I have to deal with money which can be fun and not fun. I've been getting offers on movies now rather than having to go through casting calls, callbacks, tests, etc., which has been such a blessing and honor for me. Something I never expected or thought of happening. Now when I get off of a job and come home it's kind of like a vacation. I used to always want to get out of Los Angeles now I always want to stay! Other than that I'm the same person just some awesome upgrades =)

 

2) Do you still take any dance classes? (Lauren) 

Lauren, since I tore my ACL in the filming of Step Up 2 I was unable to dance for 1 year following my surgery. I just recently began taking classes again. I will always love taking different classes and plan to continue doing so even though I'm focusing on my acting career, but classes will never be the same as before. I could say it's my own insecurity but I feel like people are looking, I now have to dance with a huge leg brace on that holds me back from certain moves. I think that would be a normal thing for anyone that came up in a huge dance movie as I did, but I'm the kinda girl that doesn't like to dissapoint people. Now, if I'm behind with the choreography in a class I'm a bit harder on myself that I used to be. I will continue to go not only to get rid of that silly insecurity I have but to continue bettering myself as a dancer as I always had since being a little girl.

 

3) Have you ever met a celebrity that made YOU starstruck? What was it like?(Darlynn)

Darlynn, I have not yet been star struck by a celebrity, maybe I haven't met the right one yet! I've grown up in the business so it's not too new to me, but I must say if I booked a job with Josh Hartnett I'd probably be a little nervous!

 

4) I never see you wearing earrings. Why don't you wear them? (Jo)

 I don't have my ears pierced! My friend tried to get me to do it the other day and I kinda liked that. I still never got them done. I do have 1 tattoo though, and it's a big one so I'll stick with that for now.

 

5) Except Italy, of course, have you been to any other country in Europe? What was it like there and would you go back there? (Peter)

Peter, when I was 16 I was filming the Linkin Park "Numb" video in Prauge. I would go back tomorrow if I could and can't wait to explore the rest of Europe and Italy. So far The Philippines has been my favorite place but I still have lots of places to go. I would definetly recommend going to Europe it is unreal! 

 

6) What was your favorite movie to work on? (Celine)

Celine, my favorite movie to work on since Step up would have to be Burning Bright for work purposes, and Sorority Row for fun! Burning Bright was basically me the entire movie, there was not one second I was not so into my character, I actually couldn't even wind down and sleep at night. It was very physical which are my favorite kind of jobs, and I had to work with a tiger that wasn't there. I would set up tape marks in the morning as eye lines. Later they reshot every scene with a real bangle tiger and edit all together as if we were in the same room. I am more excited than anything for this film to come out. Sorority Row was my other favorite because I had a cast there with me, every minute of filming was nothing but FUN ! I also got to build friendships, film some action, and cry a lot!!!

 

7) What does it feel like to walk down the red carpet? (Britt)

Britt, walking down the red carpet is a funny thing. I always used to think "What is that like ???" Well, it's a bunch of photographers yelling your name to look at their camera. It's fun when it's a big event and you know you have a good reason you're there. It can be fun to be recognized but for the most part I want to say "Stop yelling at me. I'm right here!!!" =)

 

8) Kristen Stewart is "reported" to be sick of the press and her fans. Do you get that feeling when you wanna just stop acting and be "normal" again? (Fay)

 Fay, I am still normal, and I do stay out of the line light a lot so I don't have to deal with situations like that as much. Now I'll try to go to a bar or a low key club rather than the top notch spot where they're looking for stars. It can be fun again for a minute but when things gets worse I know I'll be avoiding even more. So I'm staying low key for now. I know at some point it will become unavoidable.

9) What was your goal when you were 13? (Andie)

To be honest when I was 13 I was really into school. I was a soccer player and a cheerleader. Of course dancing was my main priority and what I wanted to do but I was really focused on having friends and I guess I should say TRYING to do well in school. I never had the BEST grades until college!

10) What is the most memorable moment of your life. (Daniel)

One of the most memorable moments in my life was when my dad took me to disneyland at the age of 6. I felt so cool he took me on every ride over and over again until the park closed, and bought me churros and pickles, all the good stuff you love to eat when your a kid at a theme park. It was my favorite night. My dad is one of my best friends as each one of my family members are but I'll never forget that night, it was like a dream as a kid!

11) I was wondering whose style you admire the most. (Sharley)

 I don't necessarily like anyone's style the most. I mix up my style all the time and like to get funky. But I definitely admire Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, they can pull off anything!

12) I heard you and MK Olsen were best friends. Are you still friends with the twins? (Alen)

Mary Kate was and still is one of my favorite people. I don't see her anymore but I think about her all the time. Some of my best times were hanging with her. We always had a blast together, she's such a sweet and honest girl and I really admire that about her still. 

13) Are you going to have an official website? (Jon)

 I hope to have an official page, we'll see =)      

14) Is there any woman from the history that you would like to play in a movie? (Mike)

Shirley Temple if I were still young! Hmmm that's kinda a tough one for me, there's so many wonderful actresses from the past i'm stuck! 

15) What do you do between filmings? Do you have another job or something? (Delilah)

Well between films lately has almost been my vacation. For the past 2 years there has been so much work I haven't been home for longer than a week in between which i'd just try to relax during that time. Now that I've been home for 4 months I got my own place, I read a lot of scripts trying to find the next perfect job, i go to the beach, out with my friends, play the piano, paint, write, take meetings, work out, there's a lot to do out here in LA. It's funny though because I do get bored and want to be a bartender sometimes but I think I'm just gonna hold off and hope another job comes soon!
