ONE-ON-ONE WITH JON:
An Exclusive Interview
Is acting on TV different than acting in movies?
Jonathan: Yeah! Definitely, definitely. Film is much more dramatic, and it's
much more down-to-earth and lifelike. I think that we're living feature films
every day, you know, in our own lives. So it's a little different. I think you
have to be a little more hyped-up in television or commercials. You have to have
a little more energy and project yourself a little more energetically.
What would be your ideal role to play?
My ideal role? An "Indiana Jones"-type character. I would love to do that. I
remember when I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark and I just wanted so badly to have
that outfit, and to have that whip, you know, and just swing on vines and stuff!
I'd love that type of role. I'd have fun with any period piece like that.
You've talked about going into different areas of filmmaking. Do you see
yourself giving up acting to pursue those other things?
I can't give a time. Maybe I won't. I love acting right now, and I can experiment
a lot with it. But eventually I want to go into writing and directing.
Do you ever see yourself as a role model?
Um, yeah. It's tough to recongnize yourself sometimes as a role model. I don't
know if I can honestly say I am. I think to some extent I am. I mean, I try to say
the right things and give the right advice. But still, I'm only a person.
When you think of a role model, who comes to mind first?
I think of somebody who's proven himself. I can't think of a particular person, but
I think of somebody who's proven himself and deserves to be where they are right
then and there. Someone who's worked hard. I think that my biggest role models are
people that have maybe struggled for a while and then finally gotten to their
destination.
Is there one person who's had a really big impact on your life?
Actually, it was somebody that I never met. It was my great-grandmother, my
father's grandmother. She was so much like me, I think, because she was so
interested in show business, and she wanted to be an actress so badly. I can't
really look up to her in the way that I would another person if I met them. But
from what I've heard, she knew everything. She memorized facts, and she memorized
books about television. That's just the way I am. it's kind of interesting. She's
not really a role model, but somebody that I can relate to in a way.
