Christian Slater: Ah, welcome to Young Actors Forum, a weekly dialogue for young performers in the industry. Im Christian Slater, and joining me tonight are Keanu Reeves, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Matthew Broderick and Rob Lowe. Ok Charlie lets start with you. Now you did some nice work in Hot Shots. Now youre doing a job with Milos Forman, sounds pretty intense.
Charlie Sheen: Yea I think its gonna be really special. Its called Firefly. I play this fugitive cop who has to make a choice, yea its pretty real. I get to work with some great people: Gene Hackman, Molly Ringwald-
Keanu Reeves: Did her.
Christian Slater: Did er.
Emilio Estevez: Did er.
Rob Lowe: Did er.
Matthew Broderick: Had er.
Charlie Sheen: Did her. And you know uh, when you work with people like that you gotta turn it up a notch.
Christian Slater: Sounds cool. Now Keanu, I know youve worked with Milos recently.
Keanu Reeves: Yea it was really liberating. Hes the kind of director who goes right up to the line u know, and then he goes a little over that line. And there was this one time I was doing this really intense scene with Daryl Hannah-
Emilio Estevez: Did er.
Charlie Sheen: Had er.
Matthew Broderick: Had er.
Rob Lowe: Been there.
Christian Slater: Had some.
Keanu Reeves: Got some of that. What Milos lets us do is you get to call your own cut. So you let the camera roll till you feel right about the scene.
Christian Slater: Thats great. Daryl is a real perfectionist. Shes also got that innocent quality, a lot like uh, Ally Sheedy-
Matthew Broderick: Had er.
Rob Lowe: I had that.
Keanu Reeves: Been there.
Charlie Sheen: [pointing to Estevez] We doubled her.
Christian Slater: Begged her [coughs]. Now Matthew, I hear youre working your chops in New York now.

Emilio Estevez: Did er.
Charlie Sheen: Had it.
Rob Lowe: Made er.
Christian Slater: Did it twice.
Keanu Reeves: Got it.
Matthew Broderick: Nailed it shut. Cuz you gotta keep relearning your lines. It all comes back to you if you want it to.
Christian Slater: Well Rob we havent heard from you. Youre actually doing some TV now.
Rob Lowe: Yea Im doing a TV movie directed by Alan Alda.
Christian Slater: Is he cool?
Rob Lowe: Oh yea hes a great man. I met him once at a fundraiser and we totally hit it off. Its pretty cool cuz we dont just talk about acting. I mean like Ill come over and just hang with him and his wife-
Matthew Broderick: Yea been there.
Rob Lowe: Seen it.
Charlie Sheen: Double duty. [high fives Estevez]
