swtaznlaydee,
I’m so glad to learn that Gallen is on your favorite list Yes, I do remember reading that news article. I believe it was the same article where Gallen came up with the supposedly funny “Why him, why not me?” line.

TkN,

I enjoy going from interview to interview, from article to article, from what Gallen himself (reportedly) said to what others (reportedly) talked about him, and pick out the (in)consistencies. It’s almost like trying to fit all the pieces together to complete a 3-D puzzle. Or you might say… forensics!

While I have not found any inconsistencies in this particular interview as opposed to his earlier ones, I must admit I was shocked at a few (new) little details he disclosed. I guess the details themselves aren’t nearly as shocking as the fact that Gallen felt comfortable enough to tell them.

The last part was particularly painful! I felt so exasperated trying to follow all the probing questions Stephen asked. It felt almost like an interrogation. I wonder how Gallen was able to keep his sanity.

Anyway, let us go back to the “harbour” part. As much as I want to believe you, I don’t think Gallen has any idea about a cyber harbour bearing his name, haha… Thanks, though, for pointing that out.

wow. I’ve learned alot about Gallen. I always thought he was a good actor. I didn’t know there was a time Gallen was considered “wooden” No wonder. I remember coming across an article where he talked about the new generation actors and, when the reporters told him about ron, Gallen said that ron kind of reminds him of his younger self.

Gallen seems so honest and real. He’s my favorite actor too.

I try to catch myself before saying I’m a fan of so-and-so, remembering to add that I admire his/her talents, since who am I to judge his/her personality (that is most likely morphed by the media)? But with candid interviews like these, I feel acquainted with the person and not just the skills. Thanks much for the continued efforts in translating this transcript, Mimosa!

“I thought of each series I filmed as a harbour I had reached.” Clearly, Gallen has visited your site.

This might be a typo: “I archived something”. Did you mean “achieved”? Sorry, I was too lazy to cross-reference and find out.
