"I have been blessed enough to be interviewed in a number of publications about my career as a film/TV actor/director. While I've enjoyed 'Whom You Know' as a fan and figured that it would be an enjoyable interview, I have to say that I was surprised at how insightful Peachy's questions were. While some of the questions I was asked seem to be sort of traditional Peachy Deegan questions (the kind you enjoy hearing answers to from different individuals and that can apply to anyone in different ways), this was not a 'cookie cutter' interview. There were also a number of questions that showed how much research Peachy did on me and gave me an opportunity to really say something that I felt was meaningful beyond 'something or other is releasing soon' or 'so and so was great to work with'. Instead, Peachy asked about my process, my thoughts on the industry and where its going and about various intellectual controversies within my fields of study. I really had to think about my answers and, through the process, even learned some things about myself. Now that's good journalism! It's rare in these days of click bait and soundbites.
Peachy Deegan and her staff are among the most efficient and professional I've been interviewed by and I hope to be invited back in the future as additional projects are released. I encourage everyone to check out this unique and interesting magazine and the interesting people Peachy chooses to feature. I would also encourage you to consider patronizing any of the various businesses who sponsor Whom You Know and allow it to stay a quality publication. Support for quality journalism like this benefits us all. It takes time and financial resources to run a meaningful publication and businesses who sponsor this endeavor deserve a nod of respect. "
