Oliver James - February 15, 2005

Here are some of the highlights from the Interview.

Tommy: Tell us more about your character (Jay Corgan – Raise Your Voice)

Oliver James: He’s 18 years old and his names Jay Corgan. He’s actually English and he’s moved out to San Diego with his dad after his mom and dad had a bad break-up. Yeah, he decides to go to this music academy in Los Angeles called Bristol Hillman and it’s the second year he’s been and that’s where he meets Hilary Duff’s character Terri.

Tommy: Just a little while back you actually graduated from a very similar type of school. Did you ever dream you’d be in a movie playing that role?

Oliver James: Not really – no. I mean I guess, mine was an acting school but it was music as well, cause people are trained in musical theater and stuff. It was kind of weird, but it really helped me to draw on. Ya know, to be able to relate to.
