Sequel to StarCrossed Hearts!
Pam: Hey, Mac! It’s great to see you!
Mac: You know I’m glad to be here. Oh, just water is fine. Thanks.
Pam: Let’s get right into the questions. I’ve heard you compared to TV’s “MacGyver.” Is it the name? The hair? Or something else?
Mac: I consider it a compliment. Shows like “MacGyver” paved the way for my adventure series a few years back, “Doctor Jim.” And yeah, I do have his name. And his hair. (Grins, runs a hand through his sun-streaked locks.)
Pam: And you must have a Swiss Army knife with you at all times.
Mac: Got it right here.
Pam: You later made the jump to the big screen. A film set in New Zealand?
Mac: Yeah. Night Horse. I was… a long way from home.
Pam: Good film, but those were tough times. You and your wife were separated.
Mac: (nods slowly, looking down). We had some unfortunate misunderstandings. It was—
Pam: Dane Pierce, right? Your best friend? Must’ve been difficult.
Mac: (sighs) It’s not something I like to remember. Or talk about. Dane’s… well, Dane. And yeah, he—he cares a lot for Jessie. I just had to get him to understand that… she is my whole life. (shakes it off, smiles) He did deliver my son, you know. So he’s not all bad.
Pam: You worked with him on The Senator. Now, wasn’t there a scandal during the filming of that movie? Someone with a gun? An actress—
Mac: Jackie Spencer. Troubled gal. She and Dane… let’s just say it didn’t work out, and she came after him with a gun.
Pam: I heard it was Jessica Taylor she was after. Your wife. Was this because of Dane, too?
Mac: (grimaces) Jackie was…troubled, like I said.
Pam: What’s up next for you?
Mac: I enjoyed my part behind on the camera on The Senator. I have a rough draft of a script for a romantic comedy. Mr. Romance. About an actor who models for the cover of a romance novel as a favor, but unexpectedly wins a contest. What do you think?
Pam: Sounds like a winner. We will definitely watch for that one. Hey, thanks for sitting down with me today. And best of luck with the new film!
Mac: I appreciate the chat. Take care.
