Ask Simon Pegg

What compelled you to be Scotty in "Star Trek?"

Hello Simon!

Any chance you and Nick Frost will be working on something together again?

There seems to be a lot of nuanced comedy in your movies. I'm always laughing at parts no one else finds nearly as hilarious. How do you know when you're being funny? Do you practice in front of mirror?

If you were a zombie, who is the first person you would eat?

Have you ever thought in your movies, "hmmmm is that too much gore?", I am not complaining don't get me wrong. Just curious to know if you, ever thought that.

What do you think is the greatest difference between British and American humor?

TAX EXEMPT STATUS OF RELIGION WHY is there no in depth journalism investigative study of this critical legal gift so abused beyond belief - for example nothing for DISABLED VETERANS INCARCERATED. We have tried to start http://www.veteranschamberofcommerce.org and not a single faith-based social service provider will answer us in view of the needed collaborative ONE STOP CENTER - Salvation Army received a billion from the McDonald Heiress and nothing for Veterans in Denver Colorado

you are a square pegg.

What can you tell us about your upcoming films Paul and The World's End?

I remember watching your old series "Space" which you did with Nick Frost. What has influenced this comedy? Was it the sheer fact of video games like Resident Evil, and the culture in specific? Also, will we see a "Spaced" movie, or come-back?

You star in the upcoming film "Paul" with Nick Frost. Why do you suppose you two work so well together?

Would you consider appearing in a film involving terrorist parakeets if the script were brilliantly written?

Which do you prefer out of the movies in Hot Fuzz, Point Break or Bad Boys 2?

First off Simon I would like to say I am a huge fan. From your work in Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz to Run, Fat Boy, Run and Big Nothing they are all brilliant.
I have two questions for you.
What helps you prepare for the many unique and different roles you play.
From playing Shaun to Scotty and the many other different types of characters.
What kind of information can you reveal about your next movie with Edgar Wright "The World's End"
Thanks so much hope to hear from you.
Best of luck with your upcoming movie release.

Have you ever, fired a rocket launcher while jumping through the air?

Mr. Pegg have you ever noticed how much you look like Munawar Hosain?

Who is your favorite comedian and why?

Hi Simon! Everyone here is such a huge fan! Of course, we're all begging you to make more movies with Nick Frost. But in the larger picture, do you plan to stay true to, and make more of those extraordinary british comedies?

Dear Mr. Pegg I'm a big fan of your films where it's actually become a tradition for my pops and i to go to your new movies whenver they comes out because we always find them extremly funny and my dad is originally from sheffield england so he loves the english humor commenting that at times americans dont catch alot of that good english humor. Of course shaun of the dead is based on dawn of the dead and all of those zombie films and hot fuzz was the parody of cops have you ever thought of doing a funny parody for a british crime drama film like you could take a movie like lock stock and two barrels and make it into a humerous film.

What's the best movie you've ever seen?

when's the new series of spaced coming out, and do I win a box of Jaffa cakes?

What first got you interested in making films?

Hello Simon,
First, I just want to thank you for the wonderful shows have been in and I am so grateful that we in the US have been able to see them. I truly love Spaced. Brilliant show. Brilliant writing, editing, acting, direction - everyone in the cast is very talented. I hope you enjoyed working on that show. When ever I miss the characters in Spaced and want to "visit" I make myself a cup of tea and watch the show. I hope there is a follow up to the show.

I am curious about when and how you decided to be an actor? What shows, movies or actors inspired to be an actor and how inspires you today?

What is your favorite character you have played?

What character have you played that is the MOST like you in real life?

How did it feel or what did you think when you found out you got the role as Scotty in the upcoming Star Trek movie?

What are you favorite actors, movies, tv shows or comics?

I am curious about what you think of the United States and the people here. I am curious of what people in the UK think of us.

Are you and Nick Frost old friends? You both seem like you have been friends since childhood.

I look forward to seeing you in the upcoming movies and hope to see you in another movie or show with Jessica Hynes.

I wish you all the best,
Pamela

Are you planning on teaming up with Nick Frost and Edgar Wright from Hot Fuzz and Sean of the Dead (<-- my FAVORITE movie!! its fab!) in the future? Any details (if so) on upcoming projects w/ you guys?

Thanks! Cheers!

Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?
