Jacqueline McKenzie: and I don't want to interrupt the show!

Jacqueline McKenzie: the thing is... there's noone there! it's a computer and you are out there somewheres!
Thessair said: Good evening! Thanks for doing this for the fans. I'm a huge fan of both 'Shy Baby' and 'Boo Boo'. I was wondering when we might expect a full album?

Jacqueline McKenzie: It's actually quite a change! I usually wear cargo's and blundstone boots!
Dark Angel said: Hey, Jacqueline! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I was wondering if you ever feel weird seeing yourself on tv? Are you your own worst critic?
Jacqueline McKenzie: I don't really feel weird watching "Diana"... sometimes I feel a bit odd if I see "me" up there... like for instance, on this webcam!!!
JWDramaGrl said: Hey Jacqui! I know the cast and crew must play pranks on each other or goof up from time to time. What's the funniest thing that has happend on set?
Jacqueline McKenzie: you are right! Joel planted a spider on one of my bags... they kept filming when I saw the thing- and it looked like I was in the midst of a fit! I am terrified of spiders! Where I come from in Sydney, they kill you: the funnel web spider!

TSLax8 said: I know you've been in quite a few plays as well as television shows and movies. Which do you enjoying performing in the most? what is your favorite thing you have acted in?

Deafgirl1984 said: hi
Jacqueline McKenzie: [Live Video Response]

Lala2379 said: What made you decide to do a live chat?
Jacqueline McKenzie: Perry Simon our wonderful executive producer told me all about it... and he said it would be a great way to interact with followers of the show... i agree! thanks to him, here we are
4400_fan14 said: On The show do you get along with the Actors and Actresses pretty well?
Jacqueline McKenzie: Extremely well. We are like a family up there in Vancouver (which is where we shoot!)
Magnus612 said: I enjoy you on the show and you are so beautiful! I hope to see your character do great things!
Jacqueline McKenzie: thankyou!
pmsprincess38 said: do you have a favorite episode of the 4400?
Jacqueline McKenzie: I loved Mommy's Bosses, I loved last weeks, tonights is awesome... I really like ALL of them... and I'm not just saying that... each of them further either character or mythology or both... they are thrilling and enchanting and moving and scary
alwayz said: You are such a loner on the show after the split from your ex...will Diana ever find love on the show?
Jacqueline McKenzie: watch this space!!!! HINT HINT
Augustine said: Do you feel as an actress that you're career is gaining new fandom, perhaps more of an opportunity to do roles in which you YOURSELF may grow from the experience than before??
Jacqueline McKenzie: definitely growing more 'fandom'... i think the chance to grow, in ones craft, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with fandom. Richard (Marco) is about to put on a tiny independent play in Canada and I'm sure the learning curve on something like that is exponential
TSLax8 said: just to let you know, the show is on commercials now.

Broadwayfreak123456 said: On your poll, is one actually correct for any of them?

abbytheerdoc said: Can you see my comments?
Jacqueline McKenzie: yes but there's lots scrolling up and up so it's hard to catch them all
SweetCaroline29 said: When did you decide you wanted to be an actress?

the4400fanatic said: If you could switch roles for one episode, whose character would you want to play?
Jacqueline McKenzie: APRIL SKOURIS
Jwb52z said: Have you personally ever gotten into the website for the 4400? Whoever is responsible for writing its content really gets the viewers thinking. Maia's diary is full of complex clues to the future of the show. The anagram every week, by itself, is very difficult.
Jacqueline McKenzie: I haven't been in there no, I think PERRY SIMON has a hellova lot to do witht he layout etc
Broadwayfreak123456 said: As an actor, what advice do you give on memorizing lines?
Jacqueline McKenzie: work work work... write them out longhand... if you have trouble with a particular word, then really LOOK at the word... maybe it's the essence of the scene...
fireopal said: Is the other army guy being played by nick cannon
Jacqueline McKenzie: i don't think so
Magnus612 said: It's so hard to watch the show knowing you are on live!

Jacqueline McKenzie: 8 days
ashleybritan said: I think Diana and Tom would make a great couple, Do you think those two will ever hook up?
Jacqueline McKenzie: not according to Scottie Peters!

Jacqueline McKenzie: [Live Video Response]

lily_lemony said: Is anyone seeing my questions? I don't want to be rude and re-ask. :/
Jacqueline McKenzie: i can see this one
Maxwell said: Do you think having so many directors can ever mess up minor details that hardcore fans would notice?
Jacqueline McKenzie: not that i know... they are great directors and hired because they are in fact fans of the show too. They've usually seen all the shows and know the characters/mythology
Dreamerbabe52 said: Do you do anything special to stay so beautiful?
Jacqueline McKenzie: that is so sweet! Eat well, work out like a fiend (trainer in Vancovuer called Danielle Steiner)
lily_lemony said: Jacqui - what was it like working closely with Jeffrey Combs this season especially? What did you think of "Ballad"?

Alana4400 said: You're one of my friends on myspace :)
