Chris Marquette Message Board

Um, okay... I was told to come here and take the quiz, so here I go. I haven't seen much of Chris besides Joan of Arcadia, so my answers will be limited. I'll try coming back again after I see some more movies.

What's the first thing your ever saw Chris in?
I didn't know it was him at the time, and I didn't even pay attention to actors, but when I was much younger I saw him in this Disney Channel Original movie called Up, Up, and Away! He played the hyper-active side-kick character, and he was really young. When I found out he was in that movie, it broke me.

What's your favorite thing he's done so far?
Well, I love his work in Joan of Arcadia overall (not much more I can answer, considering I've only seen two other Chris movies).

What's your favorite scene in that movie/show?
Oh, gosh, what to say... I loved the scene in "Jump" where Helen reads Adam's mother's note, and the scene between Adam and Joan in the hotel in "The Gift". I don't want to say this, but I like the infamous courtroom scene to break-up in "Trial and Error" (because of his awesome acting, not the outcome).

Who's your favorite Chris character and why?
Gee, I'm a real Joan of Arcadia girl here. I completely love Adam. I can't even bring myself not to like post-Bonnie Adam. He's so sweet and sensitive and completely adorable. I compare him to a puppy.

Do you remember the first time you Googled Chris?  What site did you land on?
First time? Uhhhh... Early this summer. I found out who the actors on Joan of Arcadia were and I googled him because I loved Adam so much. I landed on... wow, you know what, I think I landed here.

What were you looking for when you found our website or how else did you stumble across it?
Heh, see previous answer. Well, actually, I think my friend and I stumbled across this site while searching for Joan of Arcadia stuff a few days before I found it on my own. I don't recall anymore...

What role in what movie --- any movie --- past, present or potential would you love to see Chris play?
... Wow. This is a tough question. I can honestly say my mind is blank when it comes to past movies. I'll probably go back later and say, "You know what? That's what he'd be good in, but I think of any right now. Potential movies to see him in? Well, I like myself a nice drama/romance type, myself. Something to show off his sensitive side again, and of course to see his adorable puppy-eyes. Or maybe a role that he hasn't much played, like a villain-type character. I'd still find a way to love him, though.

Seen any Chris movies in a theatre?
*sigh* No. My first time will probably be seeing Fanboys next January. Unless he does anything else first, that is.

Own any Chris movies?
Ack, big no again. I don't even own the Joan of Arcadia DVDs! I'll have to fix that.

Have anything special recorded off TV?
... I just need to stop answer questions like this.

What do you like most about Chris?
His hair and his eyes. Oh, man, do I love his eyes. On his acting ability, the way he can make me laugh when doing something comical, and still turn around and move me to tears when doing something serious. Basically, I love the way he can do opposite genres (I'll probably expand on this more after seeing more movies).

If you could ask Chris one question, what would you ask?
Can I give you a hug? ... No, seriously, at the moment that's my question. One person keeps saying I should ask him to marry me, but I would never seriously ask that. :embarrassed:

Do you have any of Chris's lines that you can quote off the top of your head?
"I talk to angels."
"Don't you have an appointment in the Biology Closet?"
"I was too busy looking at you."
"Uncallenged." (Okay, that one's cheating)

Have you met Chris in person? If so, tell us about it.
... No. *gloom* I hope to someday, though.

If you could have him autograph one item or photo, what would you pick and why?
Ummmm... I don't really know. I want to say a hoodie because of Adam's usual attire, but then I couldn't wash it. X_X Ahhh... I'd probably have him autograph a promo pic from Joan of Arcadia, since it's the thing I know him best from, and I don't really have any other ideas.

What would you want to see Chris doing next out of these?
a) a very dark and suspenseful thriller
b) a sitcom
c) a quirky and/or romantic comedy
d) a horror movie
e) a drama TV show
f) an action movie
g) a dramatic movie
h) a medical or cop show
i) a theater play
j) something else entirely (if so, what?)

I'd pick... c, e, g, or i. C because I'm a romantic fool, and seeing Chris in one would make me giggle (and probably get me thrown of the theater). E and G because I love drama, though I'd prefer E so I could get more attached to the character. And I because I just freaking want to see him in person.

Okay, there you go. Not much variety to it, but it's something, right?

=P Oh, that's fine. I was just being vague. I don't really look at the number of words for drabbles, and I didn't mean anything by the "less than a hundred" statement. Either way, you still are able to create very reasonable situations and entertaining stories with not very many words.

I've been reading your drabbles since last night practically non-stop (not sure how many more I have to go...), and I love them. Some of them seem to end abruptly, but that's the thing about them- somehow, it just works. I know I could never write drabbles because I'm too drawn into long chapters. Being able to move someone with only a few hundred (or less than a hundred) words is truly amazing. A lot of your stories I've found myself in love with.

And I'm anxiously awaiting your critique/response! Take as much time as you need- there's no rush.

Aw, I thought he looked cute. Still, it was odd to see him without a hoodie on. I was like, "what? Where's Adam's hoodie?!" and I whined. It really does look like something Luke would wear, though.

Yeah- we never know what could've happened, so I guess we have to be content with 'what ifs' and such. If Friedman had gotten to read the play for Judith, maybe something would've sparked.

Heh, I never read Hamlet so the symbolism was lost on me until my brother explained it. I have a strong feeling I'm going to read it this year, though, so I guess I have a bit of a leg up on the subject. The doomed romance- why do we find it so intriguing?

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. It's the same for me. Trying to picture Friedman with Judith was difficult, to say the least. Had Judith lived, they could've gone on to becoming really close friends rather than boyfriend and girlfriend.

I think Judith wasn't really gaga over Friedman like he was over her, but she hadn't totally turned the possibility down. You could see a little something in her eyes when she talked to him in "Friday Night". Maybe it was just guilt for him memorizing the entire play, but I'm not sure.

On the quick subject of Friedman and Stevie, I really wish they could've entertained that a bit more. I mean, I REALLY wish they had, especially as to why he was so hesitant in going out with her. I don't want to put it up to bad writing right away, but more like things they forgot to put. I honestly think that Friedman was afraid of getting into a relationship with a girl who liked him, because Judith's death really hit him hard. He was afraid of losing another girl, and sadly that's what happened. At least that's what I got out of it. I wish Friedman could have more of a human face without us having to hypothesize.

The table read was overall awesome. I loved seeing the chemistry the actors had, even during their first time through (and the Luke and Friedman scenes killed me every time).

Seeing that scene in full, living color would've been amazing. I always liked the interaction Joan and Grace have, as the two least likely friends in the world. And Grace's "doinking Bonnie" line made me fall over.

Heh, yeah, I looked and saw that you put up a link just after I put this up. That was a totally amazing feeling. Yeah, I was needing a place to discuss Joan of Arcadia. I have my best friend and my brother to talk to, but my brother's off at college now, so now I only have one person (not that she's not a totally awesome person to talk to and all). It's great to see such a wide variety of theories and opinions.

I love the Luke and Grace relationship, but Adam and Joan's always caught my eye. I don't know why, either. I guess that means it's perfect for me here. =P

And I promptly responded to said review. Keep on sending them!

Agh, that sucks. Good that you'll be in drive-thru awhile, though. >.> I, uh, tend to write long chapters.

It was fun talking to you too. I gotta sleep now too, actually- I need to start waking up early for *groans* school.

Yeah, that just really got me. Something just seemed so awkward and lost with the two of them that it gave me shivers, especially when Joan started crying outside the shed. She really did still love him, but she couldn't forgive him just like that. And yeah, Chris and Amber really were amazing. If we ever got a chance to get Joan of Arcadia back (not likely, but still), I wouldn't want it if we didn't have the exact same cast.
