December 2004
Stuffing his lower lip with Kodiak chewing tobacco ("It's my one vice"), Freddie Prinze Jr. relaxed in his trailer between takes while filming Nailed Right In, a drama about three young men involved in a struggle with a Brooklyn Mob boss. Prinze spoke with Scoop about his career, wife Sarah Michelle Gellar and...gray hair?
People Magazine: People say this is your first "adult" role in a film.
Freddie: People have to understand: Growing up as a Puerto Rican in this business is very hard unless آپ want [your character] to sell drugs, یا be a pimp, یا carry a gun. And I refused to do that. I tried to do roles that would be endearing, that people could embrace, that everyone could relate to whether they're Puerto Rican یا Chinese یا a Cherokee Indian. So long as it communicated to مزید than one group of people.
People Magazine: Like Scooby-Doo?
Freddie: I'm talking about other films: She's All That, Down to You. People have to remember--I was a kid then! I know I have a lot of gray hair, but I'm only 28.
People Magazine: Freddie Prinze Jr. has gray hair?
Freddie: Oh my god. I have to color it every day. I have مزید gray than brown at this point. At least I've got hair.
People Magazine: How was it working with your wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in the Scooby films?
Freddie: Well, Scooby 2--that wasn't really a challenge. But Warner Brothers didn't really want Sarah and me in the movie, so...
People Magazine: Really?
Freddie: Yeah, I mean, that's the way I felt. They were nonchalant about it, and they didn't really write anything in the script for us to do. We were just there to sell the movie. That's my opinion. I'm sure they'll go, "No, no Freddie!"
People Magazine: How's married life after two years?
Freddie: Sarah and I work because we don't talk about our relationship [to the press]. We're able to deal with the challenges that every couple deals with. And ours aren't unique. But we mainly work because we stay very private. There are people who are very public, and they're in love and rockin' and rollin'. But this is what's best for us.
