Keo: Gary hi. Tell me please, have you ever fight in the streets in ur
life? Why did you have a nickname "Dangerous Gary" in youth?
Gary D: Keo, hi. My nickname was dangerman Daniels and i got it because of
how i played football when i was young. I have had my share of street
fights but that is nothing to be proud of. Merry Xmas to you.

Keo: Gary hi. How do you think Jackie Chan's movie lost something when
he started to make them in America. I think his last films
(Shanghai Noon, Tuxedo) is not so interesting as "Accidential Spy"
which was shooting in HK.

seen Jackies best.

Keo: Gary hi. How do you think the influence of Bruce Lee on the world
of martial arts today is good promotion or a merit of the great
master?
Gary D: Keo, hi. Bruce Lee's words are still echoed by many martial art
teachers today. And he still sells magazines, i think that is a
testament to his ongoing popularity.

Keo: Gary hi. How do you do? I wanna ask about music again. What music do you prefer to train and what is favourite singer now, who do you prefer to listen now? I've seen your movie "Black Friday" a few days ago, my opinion that is not your best movie, who was the composer to film, whose music in the film (drum'n'base style i mean)? I just wanna say that you help to meet fine people, i was in Moscow and have meet with your fan Den. What can you tell me about my offer to visit Russia in autumn 2002?
Gary D: Keo, hi. I like different kinds of music depending on what i am doing, working out, driving , dancing, all different kinds. There is a lot of music i like but i do not know the names , i dont care about the names as long as i like it. When working out i like to listen to upbeat music like techno or house but different stuff when i am driving like Linkin park, Smashmouth, puddle of mud.
I dont know about this autumn, sorry.

La Loca: Gary hello. How are you? How is your family?
Gary D: My kids are all on summer holidays from school, they play a lot of football and they swim a lot. i injured my ankle 2 weeks ago so i am not doing too much, although i still get to the gym to lift weights for my upper body.
La Loca: What's happened with your ankle? I hope it's not serious... How it had happened? Is Kenshiro your older son?
Gary D: I hurt my ankle while playing football, but it is healing quickly. I do not lift weights to get bigger, just to stay in shape. I am sorry but i like to keep my family life private. Kenshiro is not my oldest, he is only 7.
La Loca: I think, that football is your life... Are you really bigest fan of football? So if you not so busy now, tell me something about you. We are, you fans, g!et info about you by all world
Gary D: Yes i love to play football, i love to watch it on T.V and i love watching my kids play. My life is mostly spent working out with martial arts and in the gym so football gives me a change. I am sorry i am very private about my family but it is for their safety. You can ask me questions about myself though.
La Loca: Do you go to Russia at this autumn? And what about your career. Will you act in a films? Tell me about yourself, please. What is your favorite team in football? And whom you would want to play (role)?
Gary D: I have no plans to visit Russia right now. I hope to be working on a movie in Thailand next month. My name is Gary Edward Daniels, i am 5' 11" and i weigh around 185 lbs. I think my best trait is my discipline and my worst is my impatience. I support Manchester United and have done since i was 3. I would love to play James Bond.
La Loca: Oh... you'll be act in new movie? Are you know about what this film... have you ! saw the script? And how will be called this movie? What about film The Matrix? Are you want to act in film like this? Tell me about your film Cold Harvest... You've told me that you do not smoking...
Gary D: If i do the new movie it is tentatively titled 'Blood Games', it is a movie about a father and son, it will be a kids movie. I would love to work on Matrix but it is not going to happen as they are already shooting the sequels. No i do not smoke, it was just for the character but if you look closely you will see i never actually smoked , it was just in my mouth. i hate to be around smokers.

Keo: Gary hi. Could you tell me what is the story of QM2? Among your
characters which of them have more characteristics of your own personality?
Gary D: Keo. In Q.M 2 i am a messenger delivering a diplomatic pouch to the British consulate in
South Africa, while there i help fight against rebels. All of my characters have a little piece of me but until i write a script no charachter will truly reflect me. I think the one i tried to add the most of me to was in 'Epicenter' but the editors cut a lot out.
20/05/02
Keo: Gary, hi. What do you thinking about kenpo-karate, is it effective? Do you training

is the individual. i teach people in my private gym and i have learned a little grappling.

weight and martial arts? Gary did you play with Don Wilson in "Ring of Fire 2"?
Gary D: Keo, no i was not in ROF 2 as i was away shooting City Hunter at the time. Everyone needs their

full workout.
