Andrew Lawrence – Right Next Door

Q) What are the current projects that you are working on?

A) There is the show “Runaway” for the CW network. I also did an independent movie called Fingerprints, which is in postproduction now. Besides that, I play guitar. I was trained classically for a while and I am hoping to come out with a record in the next year or two.

Q) Please tell us about the show “Runaway” and your character Brady Sullivan.

A) A hotshot lawyer gets himself in trouble getting involved with some clientele and has to disappear in order to save the lives of himself and his family. They go on the run to a small town. I play the next-door neighbor that the daughter of the family kind of has a crush on.

Q) Why did you want to be a part of the show?

A) There are a lot of really great people involved. I was really stoked to work with Darren Star, the creator of “Sex In the City,” and “90210.” The script was really cool and I thought it would be really cool to be a part of this project.

Q) What is your most memorable moment from filming?

A) I had to show a little skin. That was kind of awkward and pretty memorable. I was wearing a skin colored see-through Speedo, so that wasn’t very fun.

Q) What as it like working with acclaimed actor Donnie Wahlberg?

A) It’s awesome! He’s such a talented guy. I am such a fan! It’s a humbling experience. He’s really great. He’s so intense and subtle. He’s a really great actor.

Q) Why should fans tune into the show?

A) It’s very interesting and complex. It’ll keep you on your toes and it kind of has something for everyone. It’s got action and intensity for parents and a young youthful half for kids. It’s got something for everyone and it’s really exciting. At any moment, something could go crazy!

Q) What has been your favorite project to work on?

A) That’s hard! I did a TV movie called Going to the Mat a few years ago. I got to do something different. I got to play a blind wrestler. It was awesome because I got to get my feet wet as a wrestler and try to pull off being blind. It was a lot of fun and I had a lot of input.

Q) You have also recently completed the movie Fingerprints. How was it taking direction from Harry Basil?

A) It was great! He’s a great guy and he’s done so many things. It was a lot of fun and I got along with the cast great. It’s always scary when you are starting a new project and you don’t know how the cast will be on. I got really lucky, especially with the last two projects I’ve been working on. Everyone was just really nice.

Q) You started out acting at a young age. Do you recommend this to others?

A) It depends, I’ve been doing it for fifteen years now. I’m definitely comfortable with it and I think I have the confidence level in the business because I know what I am doing. Do I suggest it? It’s a very different lifestyle. It’s amazing and the opportunities are awesome. The ups are way ups, but there is also a lot of sacrifice that comes along with it. If you are willing to take that because you really love the art, and you really have to love the art, then I say go for it. If not, then wait.

Q) What do you do in your spare time?

A) Music keeps me busy. I play guitar. I practice and I write. I try to play as often as possible and get my feet wet with that.

Q) What is your latest obsession? A movie? A sport? A band? An activity?

A) Besides acting and writing, I love editing. I am editing a documentary that I filmed over the fourth of July weekend. It’s really crazy and an awesome documentary. I also love learning new things. I love to read and write. I love going on racy adventures. I am not the stay in doors and watch TV kind of guy. I am always doing something and I am never bored. I play guitar four or five hours a day. Besides, work, that’s pretty much what I do.

Q) What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A) Thank you so much! Keep an eye out for “Runaway” because I think it was a great show.
