Interview with a Star: Part II After all the fan mail about the last interview we had with the AvP2 monkey, we just had to do another one. When I talked with his agent, some startling new information came out. But enough of the filler, on to the monkey! Mechman: First of all thanks for agreeing to another interview with us. Monkey: Pleasure to be here. Mechman: For my first question, I found out from your agent that your name is really 'Larry', and that you've had some family problems of late. Larry: Yea, cousin Marcel had an accident during the filming of his current project, so I was recruited to fill in. I finally made it to the movies, but at a great cost. I really do hope that Marcel's tail grows back. Mechman: I've gotten some publicity photos from your encore performance in NOLF, in the game of the year edition. I understand you worked with Third Law Interactive, developers of Primal Hunt, on that. Larry: Yeah, the only problem was that I had to actually betray my ideals, and use a stunt double for several scenes. Larry shoots up a hotel in the No One Lives Forever, Game of the Year edition Mechman: Really? What were the stunt doubles for? Larry: One of them was for a scene where I was running through the hotel, and due to the difficulty in finding a monkey that looked like me, it was fairly obvious it was a double. Larry's first stunt double Mechman: But you said you had two stunt doubles? Larry: The second guy really looked like me, but once we found him it was too late to redo the other scenes. Larry's look-alike stunt double! Mechman: But enough about that, what are your plans for the AvP franchise? Larry: Well, I finally finished negotiations for AvP 3, and if nothing goes wrong, I'll be starring in that as the lab monkey. As far as the expansion, You'll just have to wait a few days. Advertisement Mechman: How much does game acting pay? Larry: Well, for NOLF and the Game of the Year, I pulled down 20 grand, and for AvP2 I got 30. Mechman: Impressive. Larry: You know what they say, you get what you pay for. Mechman: Are there any other games you're going to star in? Larry: Right now I'm focusing on my movie career, but I do hope to return to the games industry someday. Mechman: Your agent has started to hit me while waving a clock in front of my face, so I presume that we're out of time, but may I have one last question? Larry: Shoot. Mechman: When did goats start becoming available as agents? I've been around for a while, but this is the first one I've seen. Larry: He's just an intern. My regular agent is a fairly well-known predator. Well, that's it kiddies! I guess we'll have to play Primal Hunt to find out if Third Law hired Larry again. And after that, this small town monkey moves on to Hollywood for the time being. By Mechman Comments? Flames? Praise? Mail feedback!
