A little backgound on Recording Artist Vassy (from her website) Sometimes Vassy just needs to be Vassy. This doesn't get to happen all the time. Because when the native-Australian is serving as a successful songwriter for premier artists all over the globe, Vassy Karaglorgos has to be thinking about someone beside herself. However, for a musician with melodies constantly on her brain, and rhythms perpetually flowing through her body, this is not an easy task. Quite simply, the native-Australian, whose new album Beautiful Day is a hand-clapping, foot-stomping pop parade of giddy proportions, is a creator. And as Vassy says, "When you're a creator, you just gotta stay creating." Being an artist is who she is. "I've got things to give people," she says proudly.
Here is my TwitterView with Vassy

If you don't already know who Chris Riggi is, here is a refresher for you:
I recently caught up with Chris on Twitter and he agreed to do a TwitterView with me.... Here is a candid and FUN interview with the Co-Star of the upcoming ABC hit drama, 'Americana':
TeeJayToday: Thanks Chris... Remember there are no wrong answers, just be yourself and of course, PLUG everything you are working on! How are you doing?
Chris Riggi: Reading a few scripts at the moment, just relaxing in the apt with the dogs. Yourself?
TJ: I just wanted to throw this out there... You are a Virgo and so am I, you were born on 9/18 and me 9/19 We should have been brothers!
CR: Wow! That is close... very cool.
TJ: Any great scripts coming up? How was your visit with John Cusak?
CR: I love Indies, like 'To Redemption' because its like 5 people in a room who have PASSION, and we go all out with no ego, just trust!
CR: Well, I had a small part in "Adult World" with Emma Roberts and John, we worked the same days but I never officially met him until recently.
CR: "True and False"- Mamet, color- 6pm blue or olive green, food- anything w/o meat, sport- WWE, Celeb- you, song- "Don't Stop Believin'"-Journey
TJ: I have a fan question for you, @JayVenom wants to know if you have ever kissed a guy for a role?
CR:@jayvenom I have not yet, but a role is a role. I would do it in a heartbeat if it's in the script and the actor was on the level about it. Leave your Ego at the door.
TJ: I agree! Are you currently in a relationship? What do you look for in a relationship?
CR: I am in a relationship. I look for loyalty and kindness most of all. YOU MUST LOVE DOGS, Cusack ha!
CR: In a relationship you have to find COMMONALITY or else it wont work. That is why actors get together so often on set.
CR: Being funny is not an issue, everyone can be funny, humor is everywhere, dark or light. My gal is hilarious and we have a blast.
TJ: That is Awesome! You better put a ring on her finger!
CR: I am not getting married anytime soon, I have thought about it many times, its my romantic side, I have to hush those thoughts ha!
TJ: Is she an actress, do we know her? Tell us about her.
CR: I would never say never about dating an actress, its tempting of coarse, but I love a woman who can cook. Food is love baby!
CR: Baking is fine too!
TJ: That's my problem I think....I'm addicted to great food!
TJ: So what do you like to do in your down time?
CR: Down time, I like to be with my family, dogs and friends. I love to cook, read and be around people. I do have a man-cave I retreat to tho.
CR: @AmericanaABC , just feel like plugging it more, ha
TJ: Give us a synopsis of @AmericanaABC.
CR: A legendary fashion designer - his life, his job and his family.
TJ: I'm already a fan because you are in it and I am ready to delve into this show!

Just FYI: Chris Riggi is one of the most sincere and down to Earth American Actors that I have had the privilege of interviewing. I think he is undervalued and I expect GREAT things from him in the future. He has played his roles perfectly in the past on the sets of: To Redemption, Gossip Girl, and Vampires Suck. I am excited that we will be seeing a lot of Chris in the future with all of the films in post-production. You can see a full list of everything Chris is working on at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2861180/
Check out this quick clip of Chris and a commercial Chris did for Kleenex.
