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.
TJ: I saw!...I cant wait to see#TheRaven
CR: The Raven was sick! I love those types of movies.
TJ: How much longer till we can see@AmericanaABC?
CR:@AmericanaABC is a winner for sure and the word is SOON!
TJ: Awesome.!.. I need a new show to watch... (@AmericanaABC)
TJ: I see pictures of your dogs on Twitter, tell us about them.
CR: Stella is a chihuahua, named after Stella from 'A Streetcar Named Desire', and Tucci is a French Bulldog named after Stanley Tucci.
TJ: Let's talk about the movie that introduced you to me, Vampires Suck, what was your favorite thing about that movie, and let's not forget your abs.
CR:@VampsSuckMovie was a blast to work on. I enjoyed it all. The cast and crew,... esp the Directors were very kind and encouraging.
CR: When I read for the part, I brought my own spray bottle in (not in script), and it made it into the actual movie. (SEE CLIP AT TOP)
TJ: The Spray Bottle part made me laugh out loud in the theater (with everyone else!) and the teats! Cant forget the teats!
TJ: I think you should make a YouTube video of a an AB Workout... It could go VIRAL! Do you have any tips for us?
CR: Eat clean, organic, and eat often. I have since become a vegetarian. But stay away from artificial foods and sugars.
TJ: I need to do that, maybe we could work on a YT video together, you tell me what to do and I do it and film it!
CR: I literally would have photos of Ryan Reynolds and Jason Statham lying around for motivation, and it helped. Did the same for@AmericanaABC
CR: Best tip I can give is to allow yourself a semi-cheat day. But ask around, do research and stay strong.
TJ: I wish I had the body of Ryan Reynolds..... or YOU!
CR: BJ Britt and Charlie Weber were ripped when they showed up to set, so I had some friendly competition 4@vampssuckmovie
TJ: Everyone had amazing bodies in that movie! Made me rethink that buttered popcorn and soda I was having as I watched it in the theater! LOL
CR: In all honestly vegan/vegetarian is the way to go.
TJ: I'm going to go Vegetarian, (Thanks to you) but I need to get all of the bad stuff out of the house first.
CR: If its in the house, you will eat it. So get it out! ha...
TJ: What is the craziest fan moment you have had?
CR: No crazy fan moments for me. Mine are laid back, chill and people I could sit in a bar and shoot the $#*&! with.#fanfirstactorsecond
TJ: That's amazing! My fans recognize me from my show, but never remember my name, plus they usually are "under the influence" when they see me!
TJ: If you ever come to Texas, we have got to get together and shoot the $#*&!
CR: When I come to Texas, soon hopefully, we can do this face to face my friend.
TJ: Rapid Fire! Your Favorite Book, Color, Food, Animal, Sport, Celebrity, Song...
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!
CR: Fan wise, we need to mention the beautiful and talented@AshleyMGreene @tiffanyhines1 @emiliederavin @annabethgish @Natalie_Mendoza
TJ: Absolutely, ALL EXTREMELY TALENTED!
CR: She will hate this but, the Director told Ashley "I could film this whole show with you, me and the camera guy" that is how good she is.
TJ: She is Amazing and Beautiful, and of course, my favorite in the Twilight Saga.
TJ: What is one interesting fact that your fans don't already know about you?
CR: I took creative writing in high school, true but boring. I am a fantastic kisser!
CR: Hahahaha!
TJ: haha.... We will have to ask your GF if that is true!
TJ: Thanks for the Great TwitterView Chris!
CR: Much love man, anything you need don't hesitate to contact direct. cheers..viva@AmericanaABC

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.
