So Chaske Spencer is a sweetheart! But we all knew that! Well he and his manager agreed to do a live chat threw lovinchaske.com. The interview was great and I had a lot of fun reading what kind of answers that he was going to say....
Near the end there was roughly 72 people that were viewing the chat interview on lovingchaske.com....
Jennifer from lovinchaske.com was able to get Chaske Spencer and his manager Josselyne Herman to conduct the interview for all of us....The interview was based off of questions that Chaske's Fans got to write into Jennifer and have them asked. Jennifer (and some others) chose roughly 24 questions to ask Chaske....
So lets get started with what went down tonight (April 14, 2010 at 8pm Florida time). Starting with Josselyne....
Jennifer- Can you tell us a little about what it is? (United Global Shift)
Josselyne- UGS was created a couple of years ago, mainly to train people to cause sustainable change in their communities. Working with Dr. Sharma from the United Nations, we created it. We do workshops for people and provide information and education so people can make changes they are inspired and committed to....
Jennifer- Who is UGS (United Global Shift) intended to help?
Josselyne- Mostly it is intended to empower people who want to create projects that impact their area of interest. We have projects impacting Children, Native Americans, Eating Disorder Victims, Environment....It is more about whatever YOU are interested in impacting. We encourage people to take on a project and look at the underlying systems that are keeping undesired circumstances in pace....
Jennifer- Why should we help out?
Josselyne- If you can shift the system, you can create sustainability. You should get involved IF you have something that you want to create in your communities, not really to HELP is, is more about empowering people to empower other people. Instead of giving people fish, we are teaching people to teach people to fish....
Jennifer- Could you give us some examples of some of your projects?
Josselyne- Chaske's project is all about SHIFTING THE POWER to make change away from government and corporations and towards the people like you and me. Peace Promise is one project that shifts the thought that peace is up to someone other than you. 1 Voice World is an entertainment company dedicated to spotlighting people who are making a difference vs. Who has not. IB Green Project is about shifting what is perceived as beautiful from outside in phenomenon to and inside out phenomenon....
Jennifer- You've written a book about Peace Promises correct?
Josselyne- Yes, the Peace Promise book is the 30 day programs but all in a book you can keep. Thanks for that. The new book will be out next month the Promise Effect. All monies go to UGS (United Global Shift)....
Now its time for the part that everyone at lovinchaske.com was waiting for the man himself Chaske Spencer....
Sanitu (Latvia) asked- Do you regret not doing something with your life, now being an actor has taken away?
Chaske- Hmmm....No regrets. I am pretty satisfied with how things are right now....
Judit asked- How critical are you of yourself and your work?
Chaske- Ooooo, some days very critical, but at the end of the day you just have to let it go....
Tiffany asked- Would you ever want to move back to your reservation you grew-up on?
Chaske- No, I like to visit though. My family is there....
Victoria Mae asked- How has the journey been for you from being a waiter/bartender to being the leader of the Quileute wolf pack in the very popular Twilight Saga, in addition to being an important spokes person to UGS?
Chaske- It has been long, lots of ups and downs, but worth every minute of it. I'm happy to have the opportunity to use what is happening to place a light on areas of concern for me, so I can make a difference....
Yelda asked- In your resume it states you enjoy drawing, writing poetry and photography; What inspires you most to do these things?
Chaske- Girls, short answer....
TJB asked- I would like to know what kinds of projects that he (Chaske) would like to produce, now that he has a production company. I'm interested to see if he would only stick to film. (movies/docs/shorts/mucsic videos/PSA's/commercials) or would he branch out and produce theater projects?
Chaske- Right now movies are my focus. But when the opportunity to make the Shift The Power To The People PSA came up I could not pass it by....
Christin asked- I know actors need to accept roles to keep working; But is there a type of role you try to avoid?
Chaske- Yes, we call it "leathers and feathers". Unless the role is written really well and not to stereotypical.
Arydny asked- What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever had to live threw?
Chaske- Life as an actor can be embarrassing. Some of the roles I have played or auditioned for....urgh....
Jennifer- Can you elaborate on that?
Chaske- Mostly if the filmmakers are not experienced and want to do unrealistic things. Action scenes when there is nothing there to interact with, you feel kind of silly....
Judit asked- What kind of feeling do you get seeing yourself on the screen?
Chaske- Critical mostly....
Meg asked- How has your life been with all the new attention and how are you dealing with that?
Chaske- It has been crazy and mostly I try to get a lot of sleep....But its GREAT!...
Jennifer- How's that going for you?
Chaske- Dream come true stuff....
Jennifer- We see you sleepy a lot!
Chaske- I know some of those pix are droopy eyed....Lots of travel....
Jennifer- Eh. We don't mind.
Chaske- Awww, jet lag gets to you....
Lizzy asked- Does it bug you that you (and other actors like you) have been slogging it out for years, yet kids like Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner can luck out and walk straight from High School into such high profile?
Chaske- No not at all. But that is not really true that they hit it overnight. They both have been working since they were little kids, pretty much we have both been working same amount of years for the most part....
Jackie asked- Is there a song or an album that just makes you feel good no matter how many times you hear it? One that makes you just want to sing along to or even dance?
Chaske- Two albums....Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction and Rolling Stones Exile to Main Street. Work out to those all the time....
Anissa Beach Walker asked- The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe is in dire need of help, thanks to Chaske I now know about this, I plan on taking time away from my life in Oregon to go and help with what I can, my question is what on a daily basis are the needs that one can assist with?
Chaske- The biggest thing is get people to sign the petition online and send letters to national media encouraging them to cover this story. In fact my official fan club (to be launched soon) will do a contest on this very thing....

Chaske- Only in my room. I watch movies, read books, walk around NYC. Also run in Central Park and go to the gym....
Jennifer- Do you see any other actors running around Central Park?
Chaske- Alec Baldwin is out there from time to time, love him....
Witchie asked- What kind of gifts have you received from your Fans? Anything weird? Overall, which gift did you prefer?
Chaske- My favorite gift was the Birthday album you guys sent by far! Have not gotten anything weird for the most part. It was really amazing (Birthday album), it comes through every page (meaning the love) and I appreciate you guys so much, without you I have no career....
Lizzy asked- When you decided to pursue your acting dream, why go to New York rather than LA?
Chaske- The actors I admire came out of NY like (Robert) Deniro, Chris Walken, Sean Penn, Val Kilmar....
Jen G. asked- If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have?
Chaske- An ipod, girl I love, tones of food....
Judit asked- Do you enjoy watching your movies or playing them back for others?
Chaske- To put someone threw that....nuh uh....
Jennifer- Serious?
Chaske- Really I wouldn't do that. Seems like a quick way to clear a room to me....Just kidding better to see it in a theater....
Jennifer- Do your parents own your movies?
Chaske- Yes, they do. My biggest fans....
