*****************************************************

AOLiveMC2: Welcome, cast of 'Young Americans.' It is a pleasure to again have you here this evening.

Cast of YA: Hello to all, and a special hello to the guys of Havre de Grace. This is Mark to settle the disagreement -- my screen name is Marcus804@aol.com.

AOLiveMC2: Let's get right to the questions.

Question: Do any of you have a romance relationship? If yes, how has it changed now that you are appearing on the show?

Mark Famiglietti: I personally don't have one; however, I did right before the show and it is very tough when things start breaking about the show.

Question: How do your schedules affect your lifestyles today?

Mark Famiglietti: Nightlives only happen on the weekend. We shoot starting at 5AM in the morning, and at night we seem to get out later and later.

Question: Wasn't one of you guys on 'Hang Time' on NBC?

Mark Famiglietti: I was on 'Hang Time,' you are correct.

Question: What do you do on your spare time?

Kate Bosworth: I just like to sleep and relax and read, because we are so busy.

Question: What part of Baltimore, Maryland is the show shot?

Kate Bosworth: There are a lot of different locations.

Question: Since you have been away from your home for months, what have you missed the most?

Kate Bosworth: My friends.

Mark Famiglietti: I'd have to say my friends too.

Question: How was it kissing that hot counselor?

Kate Bosworth: I didn't kiss any counselor.

Question: On the show, will there be any special celebrity guests?

Rodney Scott: Next season there is a possibility that we will have some celebrities on. Other than that, it is kind of up in the air for guest appearances.

Question: How did you get picked for the show?

Matt Czuchry: Steven Antin is the writer and creator of the show, and fortunately he was kind enough to give me an opportunity to go through the process, and it was a blessing to get the part in the end.

Question: Some members in Row 5 would like to know what time the show airs.

Rodney Scott: Wednesday nights, 9PM ET, and repeats on Fridays at the same time.

Question: What's your favorite part of doing the show?

Matt Czuchry: Getting a chance to work with such talented actors. It's like summer camp over here.

Rodney Scott: It's just exciting being able to do what you love.

Question: Will we be seeing more of Will's friend?

Matt Czuchry: Definitely, there will be more interaction; it is an interesting line to show the interactions. It will be a veritable potpourri of Will's friends.

Question: Why is that girl pretending to be a guy and in the boys' dorm?

Kate Bosworth: To get attention. It'll be more clear as the show goes on.

Question: Is Scout's roommate's best friend jealous of Scout?

Matt Czuchry: Definitely.

Question: Does the show 'Young Americans' remind you of yourselves at all?

Ian Somerhalder: Yeah, it kinda does. Everyone is something like their characters -- it is inevitable.

Question: My question is for Katherine, AKA Jake. First, I just want to say that I think you do an awesome job of pulling off the role of Jake. I know it must be challenging. Second, what do you plan to do after the show is finished?

Kate Bosworth: Sleep and get more work. Thank you for the compliment.

Question: Which guys on the show are single in real life?

Ian Somerhalder: Well, I would say for the most part we are all pretty much single. There is a lot going on in the show, but for the most part we are all pretty much single.

Question: Is it hard to play a guy on the show?

Kate Bosworth: Yes, tons.

Question: When are we going to see a little more background about these people? It'd be nice to kinda see where Jake is coming from and what's up with him/her.

Kate Bosworth: It will become more clear as it starts to develop. As the characters get to know each other, you will get to know them as well.

Question: How does it feel to be compared to 'Dawson's Creek'?

Kate Bosworth: We don't really get compared to 'Dawson' very much. They are two different things.

Question: Has anyone on the set been given a nickname by other cast members? Why?

Kate Bosworth: We all have nicknames -- they are for us. They are all private jokes amongst all of us.

Question: What is a normal day on the set like?

Ian Somerhalder: Get up, have a van pick you up between 5 and 6AM, have breakfast, go straight to hair and makeup, and work all day till you go home.

Question: Is anyone on the set a practical joker? Who plays the most and who is the best to get?

Kate Bosworth: The best to get is a tough call, and we all like playing them on each other.

Question: What would you tell someone that wants to be an actor or actress? -- Brit

Kate Bosworth: Just be persistent and don't give up.

OnlineHost: We are just about out of time, so here is our last question.
