Welcome back everyone.  I’ve got a big treat for you all this time.

This next lady is no stranger for us scifi fans, especially those of us loving Stargate as we do.  She was 1st Lt. Tamara Johansen from Stargate Universe, but her talents doesn’t stop there.  She was also Black Canary on Smallville.  And off screen, she’s a dedicated mom and creator of Agent Mom.  In my opinion, she’s an awesome role model. 🙂

And for those of you who are big NCIS fans, she will be guest staring on Tuesday’s episode of NCIS Los Angeles.  I know I’ll be circling May 8th for sure to see Ms. Huffman in action.

And for all you convention goers, she will be in London for “Starfury” May 9th – 13th.  And in Detroit Motor City ComicCon May 18th – 20th.  Pop by and say heya.

So now on to the reason why you’re all here,,

KF:  First of all, Thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions.  I know you’re a busy lady with Agent Mom, which by the way, congratulations.  How has it been doing? Will it be in an actual comic book form for people to buy?

AH:  Thank you… Agent Mom has been a fun project. We were able to get a great team together including Tony Lee as the writer. He really took our ideas and characters and made the whole thing come to life.  It is currently available on MTV comics at Geek.MTV.com  Check it out 😉

KF:  Did you ever think that you would get the compliments back as you’ve been getting?

AH:  We are very proud of the Agent Mom series and thankful for the positive feedback. We’ve got a great team so it’s not surprising that it all came together.

KF:  What else is in store for us fans? What other projects are you getting involved in?

AH:  I have an episode of NCIS Los Angeles airing May 8th. And a couple of movies I am attached to that are currently in development. Both are amazing scripts with great characters for me to play, the producers are just doing there thing and hopefully we will get to make these movies this summer.

KF:  Have you done any directing? Would you love to get in that part of the business?

AH:  I have not directed anything, at this time in my life/career I don’t have much interest. Often times when you are a part of a long running series there are opportunities to direct and if that happens I would take the offer but it’s not something I am perusing… It’s a big job and it takes a lot of commitment and I have a very full home life.

KF:  Who is / was your biggest influence on where you are today?

AH:  I love Meryl Streep, Sophie’s Choice is one of my favorite movies. Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Al Pichino, Morgan Freeman, Charlize Theron… I could go on and on… 

KF:  With your family growing, how far away will you go for a job?

AH:  Is Mars offering good tax incentives? I’ll go anywhere anytime! I always take my family with me… We do have kids in school but I don’t see that as an obstacle. Both John and I moved/travelled a lot growing up and we both credit our success in part to that. Sheesh I homeschooled myself thru part of high school while living over seas via FedEx! Now we have computers/iPads/Skype…. I always see travel as an opportunity for education. I actually have more time than one would think. Most of the time while working I only work about 3 days a week. Lots of time… Plus if we are in a hotel I don’t have to clean;-) lots more time. Hahaha

KF:  Do you have limitations as to the role you will play?

AH:  No limitations. If the script is solid and it’s a story I think I can tell then I’m in.

KF:  Are there any charities you support?

AH:  We as a family choose a different charity each year to support. This year for Christmas we adopted a local family that was similar to ours in size so our kids got to pick out gifts for the kids and we delivered groceries for a complete Christmas eve and day experience.  Elijah and Hanna both have birthdays at the end of May. They both want a big pool party this year so in Lieu of gifts Hanna would like donations to our local animal shelter and Elijah has chosen a children’s home in India we have supported in the past www.pathway-India.com. 

KF:  Let’s get into some of your favorites now.  Color?

AH:  I love the color green, pale greens in particular. I feel green is fresh and rejuvenating while very calming… If that makes sense 😉

KF:  Restaurant?

AH:  My favorite food is Lebanese, there is a spot we love in town. We have a wonderful friend who is Lebanese, he passed away a few years ago… I miss our food dates. He use to call me and tell us to come over and he’d cook for us all day… It was wonderful. Good memories 😉

KF:  Vacation spot?

AH:  We try to make a vacation out of all opportunities. But I don’t feel like its a vacation without a beach 😉 I recently read that it’s not a vacation if you are bringing kids… That’s a trip. Gonna work on that one 😉

KF:  Junk food?

AH:  Ice cream 😉 I love moose tracks ice cream. Dark chocolate and fried zucchini… But not all together.

KF:  Music?

AH:  I love hip hop, I love how the genre of hip hop has evolved since the late 80’s and 90’s and I love it all. My favorite artist is Michael Jackson, I love the Gap band… I named Charley after Charlie Wilson from the gap band… Hahaha.  John thinks that is the funniest thing ever. He was at an event with Charlie Wilson a couple months ago and told him all about my crush on him and that we named our daughter after him… It didn’t phase him much 😉 aaaaa the life of a musician, I am sure he’s heard it all.

KF:  Movie?

AH:  There are so many great movies…  I mentioned already Sophie’s choice, I loved “The Help” … There are so many I can never just list them… I always look back and say “oh I should have said this…” but I remember watching “Annie” when I was little and when Annie goes to the movies to see “Camille” with Greta Garbo, they show her death scene and I think that is the moment I knew I wanted to be an actor… So I love Annie and Camille too.

KF:  TV show?

AH:  Right now I am into Game of Thrones… Please hire me 😉 I loved Big love, True Blood, Lost, Modern family. I have so many shows to catch up on… I am looking forward to summer and iTunes 😉 usually I get no say the kids take over apple TV and Netflix, the kids love “shake it up” and John loves watching sports and “lock up” so I try to make it a character study for me… Now I just have to land a job as a criminal 😉 

KF:  Book?

AH:  I think my favorite book is Angels and demons… I like Dan Brown. I like series of books, like the shopaholic series… They were fun. Hunger Games, I am waiting for Elijah to read Harry Potter with him, I am thinking this summer…I read a lot of health/nutrition books… It always fascinates me how vast nutrition is. I am currently reading more spiritual books, Eckhart Tolle  “A New Earth”, Deepak Chopra “The book of secrets”… I also read at least 3 scripts a week. I love scripts… I love reading it and then seeing it brought to life… Even if they didn’t hire me 😉

KF:  If you weren’t an actress, what job would you see yourself doing?

AH:  As I tell my agent, I have a full time job with a great hobby. I am a mom, I do lots of laundry, dishes, mopping, home work help and of course cuddling, puzzles, story time etc.  As I mentioned I read lots of health and nutrition books… I guess I would do something in the health/fitness arena… But maybe not… I started my career at 13 as a model and haven’t done anything outside of the entertainment industry so it’s hard to say.

KF:  What would your dream role be?

AH:  I want to do it all! There is no “Dream Role” I love big epic dramas, I wanna wear fancy hair pieces and trudge around in the mud, then shoot a romantic comedy… No limits.

KF:  David Blue prides himself into introducing the SGU cast to Twitter.  What was your initial thought?  What is your favorite thing about twitter?

AH:  Lol David does take credit for introducing us to twitter… Funny enough I actually joined twitter one day before him, 4 months before we met. I started using twitter during the 2008 US presidential elections. I just don’t use it as much as him 😉 I like twitter, I think it is a great tool for social media which is so necessary these days. That being said it takes time and as a mother of 4, I don’t have a lot of time when I am not working… Ironically I have more time when I work 😉 usually it means I have some kind of help even if its my husband pitching in a little more than usual or an occasional babysitter but mostly it means I sit in my trailer a few hours each day…. Ahhhhh I love working 😉 so I think twitter is fantastic. For the most part the people I talk with are lovely… But I have spoken to a few people who are very pleasant and then I see their same screen name or image talking shit on a message board somewhere else and that is what it is.
