Tonight we are pleased to welcome actor, Kelli Williams to MSN Live. Kelli will be answering your preguntas about "The Practice."
Digital Dish Diva says: Kelli, welcome to MSN Live! It's a pleasure to have tu here.
Kelli Williams says: Sorry, I'm late. Hi, Everyone!
Digital Dish Diva says: We have lots of audience questions, so let's get started!
mysterygirl198 in Onstage1 asks: Do tu feel the mostrar deals realistically with issues in the law field?
Kelli Williams says: Since I'm not a real attorney, I'm not sure that we do. Although all of our writers try to write with the law in mind. We are televisión though so we can embellish for televisión sake.
Aberfitch_9 in Onstage3 asks: Are there any significant events that will be happening for Lindsey soon, and if there are could tu tell us?
Kelli Williams says: This Sunday is a big episode for her. She befriends a homeless guy and helps him out. It's nice to see her out of the court. It's been a little más human this season for her, not all cruzar, cruz examination and arguments. We don't know story lines that are coming up until we read them a few days before filming, so they keep us in the dark also.
aroz4u in Onstage1 asks: Hi Kelli. I never miss an episode of "The Practice." Watch all the reruns on FX channel. Is "The Practice" your first series? How did your career begin?
Kelli Williams says: "The Practice" is officially my segundo series. I did "New York News" about 7 years hace with Mary Tyler Moore and Madeline Kahn. It had Lou Grant written all over it. It was my first taste of television. I avoided televisión for a while because I felt like I would be stuck on TV forever. That was just me at 19, and now at 31 I don't think it's that bad to have that steady job. My career began out of high school. I decided to take a año off of college to see if I could get work. I was conning myself with that because I knew I just wanted to act. I did it one job at a time and did one called "Day por Day." I was pretty lucky and got jobs pretty easily. I just have to get back to college one day.
Digital Dish Diva says: What would your major be?
Kelli Williams says: Probably psychology. I took an online psychology course last año and it was fantastic. I was pregnant. In fact, each time I was pregnant I took an extension class. With my son it was Spanish and my daughter it was psychology. It was a really fun way of learning.
FrightfulPoet1 in Onstage1 asks: What would tu like to happen with the characters of Lindsay on the show?
Kelli Williams says: I don't know. I would say, lighten up. I find that she's too serious. I would like to explore the lighter side of her. With her relationship with Bobby, I'd like to see open up more.
DaMan1976 in Onstage1 asks: Which episode was your favorite, and which was your most challenging?
Kelli Williams says: My most challenging was episode 3 of the first season. It was a 7 page opening argument. It was like a one act! Talk about scaring the hell out of me! I think I spoke for 15 minutos straight. It was endless.
Kelli Williams says: My favorito! episode? It's funny I forget my favorito! ones right after I do them. It's like I just mover on to the siguiente dialogue. One of my favoritos was early this año where I defended a boy. I wanted him to take a deal and he didn't do it. I got him to plead guilty when he wasn't. That was like the third o fourth episode this season and I liked it a lot.
Luna312 in Onstage4 asks: Hi Kelli. I amor "The Practice." Great show. Is the mostrar going to be addressing any of the current events going on terrorism o anthrax threats?
Kelli Williams says: Actually we're doing something about that very thing. I don't know the specifics about it because they were doing a rewrite when I left but I think it's an Arab man that has been detained and his wife is trying to get him out of prison. So we will address it. I have a scene where we talk about it. It's a very fine line addressing it through television. It's so close to home, tu have to be careful. I think "The West Wing" is handling it very tastefully. Being a televisión show, we're there to allow people to escape reality. I'm sure it's a big discussion on whether o not to address it on a show.
Mickey_0507 in Onstage4 asks: I was a big fan of the old Mickey ratón Club and I was wondering if that was tu in one of the old Club Movies?
Kelli Williams says: I think that I did a movie that I had no idea was part of the Mickey ratón Club. I played in a disney movie once, so the answer is yes.
Adidas_Girrrl in Onstage1 asks: Kelli, I'm a Pro tenis player and wonder if tu ever play in any charity pro celebrity tenis events?
Kelli Williams says: I was a really good tenis player as a kid. I would get up and practice and play often. I would amor to play in a charity event, but I would have to brush up on my serve. It's never been my strongest.
allie_86 in Onstage1 asks: Is it hard juggling your kids and work?
Kelli Williams says: Well yeah, but it's not as hard as I think it is for women that don't get to take their kids to work with them. I think I'm a little schizophrenic sometimes when I have to memorize my lines, but it's great. It's worth being a little extra tired.
letsrock20200 in Onstage1 asks: Kelli, how many hours a día do tu spend on the set?
Kelli Williams says: Depends on the episode. If I'm heavy in an episode, it's usually a good 14 hora day. If I'm in one o two, it's about 6 o 7 hours.
tya_86 in Onstage2 asks: What is something tu do to relax yourself and just have fun?
Kelli Williams says: I have massages. I don't know if fun is involved. Relaxation is involved. I think it's kid oriented fun for me. So, I like to take my kids to the beach.
Stealthˆ in Onstage1 asks: tu do a lot of drama. Have tu ever been asked to do a comedic role?
Kelli Williams says: I am doing an episode of "Scrubs" at the moment. I usually don't do any other jobs because I don't have the time. I'm not sure when it will air though.
ShiftingHawk4 in Onstage1 asks: Do tu play tricks on each other at the set and if tu do what kind?
Kelli Williams says: tu know, we don't really play tricks. Steve Harris likes to sing which is amusing, and he gives out hugs when he gets on the set. The thing is, if tu start with something, tu never know what's going to come your way. Like if tu start making up lines. I don't know if I could handle it. We have some really funny sound guys that are known for dropping their shorts during a serious scene.
britt_199 in Onstage2 asks: Was actuación one of tu original goals and if tu weren't doing that, what would tu want to be doing?
Kelli Williams says: I've always known I wanted to be an actress. Putting on plays was so fun for me although I didn't start until 18 on purpose.
LastUnderdog in Onstage2 asks: Hi, I'm from Finland. Do tu know the Finnish name for your show?
Kelli Williams says: I don't.
TheTurgidOne in Onstage1 asks: Are lawyers really that smart?
Digital Dish Diva says: Do tu have lawyers on the set?
Kelli Williams says: We have lawyers on the set and I have a cousin that is a lawyer that I can talk to about law. I guess it's like everybody. There are some smart ones and some that tu wonder how they passed the bar. All the writers on our mostrar are great, David E. Kelly is a freak of nature. (laughs) He's SO smart.
tya_86 in Onstage2 asks: It is almost Thanksgiving. Do tu have any special plans?
Kelli Williams says: Thanksgiving just with my in-laws in Hawaii. It's our annual thing. It's really nice.
Truxter1 in Onstage4 asks: Do tu feel as if tu have/are losing/lost any privacy since tu have become an actor/actress? I mean can tu still go to your inicial town and eat at your favorito! restaurant without being hassled?
Kelli Williams says: I grew up in L.A. so it's always been weird. Well not weird, but L.A. is very much "Hollywood sceney." I don't consider my life to be any different. Sometimes people come up to me. I try to explain that I know a lot of people to my son. I guess tu lose some privacy. I'm still trying to figure that all out. I don't know how to handle it. I don't like my son to see me on television. He saw me one time when he was 2 and it was very weird for him because he was in L.A. and I was in N.Y. on a talk show.
FEFE_4 in Onstage2 asks: Who inspires tu to act? Do tu have a role model that tu look up to as an actress? I amor your actuación so much! Good luck!
Kelli Williams says: Thank you. My mother was an actress for many years, not very well known, but a working actress. I knew tu didn't always get the job, and she was my guide. She didn't help me get into the business, but I did look up to her. I also like Cate Blanchett. Right now, there's a lot of good actrices out there.
allie_86 in Onstage1 asks: What is the best thing about working on a mostrar like the practice?
Kelli Williams says: The consistency of work. We get along very well. It's a mellow environment and it's nice, día after día to be involved with something good as opposed to just a job.
clate1999 in Onstage2 asks: Kelli, do tu think
tu will grow tired of that good looking Bobby? If so I live in Louisiana!
Kelli Williams says: (laughs) That's so nice. I don't grow tired of it.
Kelli Williams says: It's pretty fun though working with all 9 regulars. We get to work with different ones, so it's like a new thing. I don't always look at Bobbie.
Digital Dish Diva says: Kelli, thanks for joining us tonight on MSN Live from Hawaii!
Digital Dish Diva says: Happy Thanksgiving from all of your fans!
Kelli Williams says: Thanks for tuning in. Sorry I couldn't answer más questions. Aloha!
