Last night, I and 25 other people could join Gold Derby's Tom O'Neil for a live chat with Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET, which is 00:00 German time :-) I originally planed to share with you the whole transcript, but today I find it hard to read, because it was - as always in situations like that - a little bit chaotic: Some questions were asked more than once, some were very similar, the chat was moderated, which means there was sometimes a significant time gab between the question and the answer and most questions weren't answered at all. So I decided I will give you instead Vincent quotes sorted by issues. I left out some of the really silly/girlish/easy questions/comments and I'm still not sure, if I could really capture the whole chat. Anyway: Enjoy ;-)
Letzte Nacht hat es einen öffentlichen Chat mit Vincent gegeben, hier sind seine Antworten nach Themen sortiert :-)
