Michelle Lombardo – In Control

Q.  What are some the current projects that you’re working on?

A.  At the moment things are still kind of not officially set yet.  Honestly, there is nothing official right now.  There are some things I am in the mix for and I have been taking some meetings.  At the moment nothing is set in stone so I’m not allowed to say anything.

Q.  You’ll soon be seen in the upcoming movie Click, what can you tell us about the premise for the film and about your character?

A.  The movie premiere was Wednesday night and it’s a great film.  I’m very happy to be a part of it.  It was funny, heartwarming, I recommend this film to everybody.  It’s about Adam Sandler’s character who gets this universal remote control.  Anything you can do to TIVO or your VCR, you can do to your own life.  So, that makes for a very interesting storyline, a lot of things happen because of it.  In the beginning it’s a really cool thing, in the end he realizes what he’s really done to his life.  How much he’s messed up and he tries to fix it.  I’m not going to tell you what happens in the end but my character’s name is Linda.  Linda is David Hasselhoff’s secretary and kind of mistress on the side.  There’s a little thing going on there, so my character adds to the story by helping to see the downfall of Adam’s character. 

Q.  What made you want to be a part of the film?

A.  Just that it was an Adam Sandler project and I’ve been a fan of Adam’s since I was younger.  I grew up watching his films so to be able to now be in one with him, is just to me, one of the most amazing things.  I did originally want to do it because of that and it was a great script.  The project was fun and I just had a really wonderful time, I’m glad that I did it.

Q.  Do you have a most memorable moment from working on Click?

A.  There are lots of memorable moments, there is one scene in particular that I love.  I was in bed with a couple of the other characters. Every moment on that set was memorable to me because it was my first big budget film.  Being able to work on a set where everybody is so nice and making you feel comfortable and do your best because you want to, because it’s fun to try things out.  Being with Adam who is thinking of all of these ideas all the time and the director Frank was trying to make the scene more funny, was just for me, an experience of a lifetime.  Getting to observe it all and watch and see how you can add to scenes, how they work, was just to me was the most incredible thing.  To see everything come together and then seeing the final product, very cool.

Q.  How was getting to work opposite of David Hasselhoff?

A.  David is a hoot, he’s a really wonderful guy.  He’s very funny, in the film he is a very funny character.  He plays this very self involved jerk, but also a clueless jerk.  To be able to work with him was kind of funny at first, because David Hasselhoff, wow, you think of him from “Baywatch” and “Night Rider.”  He’s larger then life, he’s got an unbelievable presence.  It’s kind of crazy but he’s somebody who I really enjoyed working with.  He’s just there to have fun and make you feel like having fun and no pressure on you whatsoever.

Q.  How was getting to attend the premiere of the movie?

A.  This was my first really big premiere and it was red carpet and I had fans there so it was unbelievable.  I signed autographs for people and they had my photo.  I got to walk the carpet and I was very lucky that a designer gave me a dress to wear for the event.  It was this beautiful gown and I was so excited to wear it.  I was dressed nicely, I was happy that I got to go and see my film and see everybody who I worked with.  See the product of what everybody had worked so hard for.

Q.  Why should viewers take the time to check outClick?

A.  Not only is it a funny film but it also will hit your heart hard because of what happens at the end of the film and what he sees he has screwed up.  It makes him realize a lot of things, it’s one of those films that you will not only laugh but you’ll also cry.  That is the beauty of this particular film.  You can let loose and laugh for about an hour and then it will come full circle and you’ll start thinking otherwise about your life.

Q.  What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

A.  I love going to the beach, I love reading.  I am a snowboarder in the wintertime, I hit the mountains.  You can also see me mountain biking up canyons and doing laps in the neighborhood pool.

Q.  Do you have a latest obsession?  Are you into any particular book, music group, sport or activity?

A.  I foster kittens so I come home and hang out with these stray kittens for the day.  Until they’re able to be adopted, my husband and I take care of the kittens until they are ready to be adopted. 

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

A.  Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout these years and I appreciate it all.  I’ll always make time for my fans, they are the ones who keep you going.
