Opposite Sex - August 7, 2000
They may be young, but they're mighty. Milo (She's All That), Kyle (Grosse Pointe) and Chris have a huge following of adoring fans - mostly female. All three are juggling television and feature offers.
This funny series doesn’t take itself too seriously--unlike some other "teen dramas." Instead, Opposite Sex takes a slightly tweaked peek into the awkward angst of being a teenager.

FOX.com Host: Chris Evans, who plays Cary, is working on a movie right now, so we'll hope he jumps in a little later!
FOX.com Host: Meanwhile, we'll start chatting with Kyle Howard, who plays Phil, and Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Jed!
FOX.com Host: Welcome, you guys!

Milo Ventimiglia: How's it going?

Kyle Howard: What's up guys?

Milo Ventimiglia: Whassup?!?!

oppsexfan: What's the most fun thing about being on Opposite Sex?

Kyle Howard: I have to say the chicks!!!

Milo Ventimiglia: Definitely.

oppsexfan: What other shows have you guys been in?

Milo Ventimiglia: You know what? I did a show two years ago that never got released on the air, and just a bunch of different guest spots on shows.

Kyle Howard: I did a show a couple years ago, called The Love Boat, The Next Wave.

Brunette_Babe: Is it fun working with three guys all day?

Kyle Howard: It is fun! But it's great that there's plenty of girls there too!!!

Milo Ventimiglia: Agreed! It helps that the guys are cool, good friends.

maxpower: Who is your favorite co-star?

Milo Ventimiglia: Honestly, I enjoy working with everybody, I couldn't pick out a favorite. They're good people, good actors, it's a good set to be on.

Kyle Howard: I would have to agree with that, but my favorite ones to watch on the show are the teacher and the janitor!

Milo Ventimiglia: Yeah! Agreed! And also Ms. Bradley.

Clipman: What's it like to work with so many beautiful women?

Trunks: So do you enjoy working with all the girls on the show?

Milo Ventimiglia: Tough! I guess mind-consuming all the time, you break your neck looking at girls when you have to focus on work as well.

Kyle Howard: I would have to agree. Mostly it's fun, but it's also distracting!

stan_da_man: Are there any "behind the scenes" romances?

Kyle Howard: Uh oh!

Milo Ventimiglia: Not at the present time.

Kyle Howard: No, nothing!!!

Milo Ventimiglia: LOL! Oh man!

oppsexfan: Who gets the most girls of all of you?

Milo Ventimiglia: Wow, you know what? Chris Evans, man, he's the man, definitely.

Kyle Howard: Chris is the man! And since he's not on he can't defend himself....

Milo Ventimiglia: And he can't turn pink and bashful.

Valentintecr: So what do you think your reaction would be if you actually went to a school where you were the only boys there and the rest were just girls?

Kyle Howard: I would get NOTHING accomplished!
Kyle Howard: I would just be the worst student ever, too busy getting numbers!

Milo Ventimiglia: I, wow, I'm kind of in the position of Jed, where I've gotten my heart broken...so I'd probably be doing pretty good in school right now.

DanzManiak84: Hey Milo? Where'd you get that shirt with the four squares on tonight's show...that shirt was awesome!

Milo Ventimiglia: Go to any snowboard or skateboard store in your town, the company is Foursquare.

Amanda: Kyle, I think you are gorgeous! Do you get noticed in public a lot from viewers of the show?

Kyle Howard: Oh no!!!!
Kyle Howard: So far, from Opposite Sex, it hasn't really happened yet.
Kyle Howard: But a couple of people have seen it and recognize me.

silver_moon: Are your personalities on the show anything like your own?

Milo Ventimiglia: I'd like to think I've got stronger willpower than Jed. But I definitely feel a lot of his pain.

Kyle Howard : I hope not! He's quite a geek!!!

ShawnT: Do you guys watch the show when it airs?

Kyle Howard: Yeah, I've seen all the episodes.

Milo Ventimiglia: I missed the first two, I was in Europe, but I've been watching the rest since.

wnbachica: Do you guys do stuff online? like have email or/and Web page?

Milo Ventimiglia: I don't, I don't think I have a Web site or anything, but I do go online a lot, chat with friends.

Kyle Howard: I go on, I don't go on a ton, but I like to check my email and the surf report. And that's about it.

KimCD2122: Milo, your character is awesome, are you anything like him?

Milo Ventimiglia: 50 percent.

CitaGirl: How does it feel to be looked up to by a million or so people?

Kyle Howard: I guess it's flattering, but I don't know, it's kind of embarrassing at the same time.
Kyle Howard: I have people that I look up to, and I understand why, but when somebody's looking up to you, you don't necessarily get it.

Milo Ventimiglia: I think it's just a responsibility to present yourself in a good light.

iloveoppsex: Do you guys play practical jokes on each other on the set?

Kyle Howard: I don't remember any.

Milo Ventimiglia: Do you remember any, Kyle? I just remember when we had interviews with different TV programs, we'd mess around with each other on camera, but otherwise, no, we got to start doing that!

Heather: Are any of you guys practical jokers off the set?

Milo Ventimiglia: Chris Evans!

Kyle Howard: Again, he's not here to defend himself!

Milo Ventimiglia: LOL

MaverickUW: How often do you guys mess up and have to reshoot a scene?

Milo Ventimiglia: I'm a complete retard!

Kyle Howard: I would say not too often, but when it happens, it's severe!!!

Milo Ventimiglia: When Kyle messes up, he has these funny little voices that he trails off into, very, very funny!

purplangel00: Out of everyone on the set, who is the most serious?

Milo Ventimiglia: Hmmm. Wow.

Kyle Howard: I could name the least serious. And that would be Chris Hogan, and he cracks EVERYONE up at work!!

Milo Ventimiglia: Probably the funniest man alive, intellectually funny.

marco11: In the first episode how did you guys like dressing up in the drag?

Kyle Howard: LOL! I had never done it before, so I got a big kick out of it!

Milo Ventimiglia: LOL! Brought me back to when I was a child, I have two older sisters and they used to dress me up, so....

alicialuvs311: What would you say to all those people saying the show is too controversial, like my sister?

Kyle Howard: I would say that we're not trying to be inappropriate, or too over the top,
Kyle Howard: We're just having a good time. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

Milo Ventimiglia: Agreed.

Kyle Howard: It's just there to have fun.

iluvjed: What's the best part about doing the show?

Milo Ventimiglia: Working with great people, and putting it out there to the fans and people that are watching it.

Kyle Howard: I would say the work experience is the best, the crew, the cast; it was always fun being at work.

Amanda: From the first moment you read the script did you know this show was going to be a hit?

Milo Ventimiglia: Yeah! The writing is incredible. Mark and Abbie did Never Been Kissed, that's a great film. If you know them, it exudes them. It's great.

Kyle Howard: It's always hard for me, reading something, to picture how it's going to turn out.

Anny: Which was your fave episode to do?

Kyle Howard : The car episode, which will be the last episode!! It will be on in about four weeks.

Milo Ventimiglia: I thought they were all pretty fun, but the car was pretty fun. I liked the second episode, too, the virgin episode.

RadioRay: After tonight's show...will we see a same-sex kiss at some point?

Kyle Howard : Whoa!!!!
Kyle Howard : Maybe...you'll have to keep watching!!!

Milo Ventimiglia: There you go.

blonde_spies: Were you picked right away for your characters?

Kyle Howard: I actually originally read for Jed, and for Cary, and Phil was the last role I read for.

Milo Ventimiglia: No, there was an audition process and all. I went in and met with Mark and Abbie, and some producers, Randy, and it was a process, just like any other of getting a job.

SexFan: DO YOU GUYS LIKE YOUR CHARACTERS?

Kyle Howard : Yes, I love it! It's my favorite character I've ever played.

Milo Ventimiglia: I like him. He's a good kid.

CJMac: Have y'all been acting for a long time?

Kyle Howard: I've been doing it for about five years.

Milo Ventimiglia: 'Bout the same, five years.

spidey_94: Hey Milo, what is the deal with the 360?

Milo Ventimiglia: LOL! The 360 are something I do not care to talk about!

Mojojojo: Come on! Tell us 'bout 360!

spidey_94: Oh come on tell me!

mark: Come on, tell us!

annie: Tell all!

Milo Ventimiglia: The 360 is something we just can't talk about!

Katira: Kyle, do you like acting in a TV series better than acting in a movie?

Kyle Howard: In this TV series, yes. Because I love the show. In general, I do like the TV schedule much better.

angelsmile: Have any of you guys appeared on other shows before?

Kyle Howard: I did the The Love Boat, and other guest spots, on Home Improvement, Chicago Hope and Michael Hayes.

Milo Ventimiglia: Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Brooklyn South, etc. A bunch of different ones.

Moonfirez: How long does it take to create one show?

Milo Ventimiglia: Eight days.

Kyle Howard : Nine, if Milo screws up a lot!

Milo Ventimiglia: Thanks Kyle!

jj_4_evr: How old are you guys?

Milo Ventimiglia: 23.

Kiracofe: Milo, are you actually 15? You look older.

Kyle Howard: 47!
Kyle Howard : Just kidding, 22.

Katira: What's your dream date?

Milo Ventimiglia: Hmmm. Kyle, go for it.

Kyle Howard: Being somewhere exotic, and tropical, and completely alone.
Kyle Howard: Alone, besides my dream date!
Kyle Howard: Alone, with my date, that is....

Milo Ventimiglia: I don't even know!

cutie_022: Do any of you have a g/f?

Milo Ventimiglia: No I do not.

Kyle Howard: I'm a single man...come 'n' get me!

jester23: What were you like in HS (as in prep, jock, nerd etc.) and was HS tough for you? Double question I know!

Milo Ventimiglia: I was a floater, hung out with a bunch of different people. High school was not that difficult in a way. I got along with my teachers, my friends....

Kyle Howard: I was a hippie through most of high school. I went to class, and played hackey-sack.

cher_14: What do you guys think about playing teenagers on the show and do you enjoy being teenage role models?

Kyle Howard: I don’t really think of us as role models, like I said before, we're just trying to have a good time and entertain people.

Milo Ventimiglia: I think, though we are having a good time and whatnot, it's strange people expect certain behavior from actors on TV and all that. I think they need to interpret things for themselves.

sweet_Emma: Have you guys had time for college or just acting?

Milo Ventimiglia: I went to UCLA for four years.

Kyle Howard: I graduated high school and had had enough...but I might go back to school someday.

StainMaster: How much do you guys relate to your characters?

Milo Ventimiglia: I try to bring as much as I can stomach of myself into Jed, and then the rest is just all Jed. He kind of created himself.

Kyle Howard: Not too much usually. When I was trying to be Phil, I was trying to be as goofy as possible.
Kyle Howard: But I guess that's sort of like me.

Milo Ventimiglia: Agreed!

AOLuser: Kyle, are you hyper in real life?

Kyle Howard: I have my hyper moments, but I can also be a mellow guy!

Fonzie499: Do you think the characters on the show are realistic?

Milo Ventimiglia: I think Jed definitely is. And a lot of the characters are too.

Kyle Howard: I've known people that I can match up to most of the characters on the show, with the exception of the teacher.
Kyle Howard: I never had a teacher that crazy!

Milo Ventimiglia: I wish I did!

ShawnT: Hey Kyle, how did you decide on your hairstyle and clothes for the show? I think it looks great! :)

Kyle Howard: Thank you!
Kyle Howard: The clothes were picked by the wardrobe dept, and I thought they were just so great, fun and goofy!
Kyle Howard: And my hair is just my own.

Milo Ventimiglia: Wait until the dance episode, Kyle's clothes are great in that one, particularly the terry cloth shirt.
Milo Ventimiglia: That'll be in two weeks.

Jason21: Milo, I first saw you in Boys Life 2. I think you've got a great acting talent. Do you have any advice for someone who wants to get into acting in more than school plays? How did you get started?

Milo Ventimiglia: Oh wow, first of all, thank you. Perseverance, hard work, just putting yourself out there, meeting a bunch of different people.
Milo Ventimiglia: You make the decision to start and you just do it, dive in.

Mojojojo: Kyle, if there was anything you could change about Phil, what would it be and why?

Kyle Howard: I would make him get more action, with the ladies!!!

AzNpryde: Jed's character is very common in life and that is why I think a lot of people can relate to him.

Milo Ventimiglia: OK, thanks!

Bigfoot: Do you have one actor you guys look up to?

Milo Ventimiglia: Probably not one, but I could name a couple. Ed Norton. Sean Penn. Tom Cruise. Jon Voigt. Brando. Those guys, yeah.

Kyle Howard: I wish that Robert Downey, Jr. would get out of jail.
Kyle Howard: Because I love his work!!!

Misotoe: What are your favorite TV shows/movies?

Milo Ventimiglia: One of my favorite movies--Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Kyle Howard: I love Seinfeld. I wish it was still on.

Milo Ventimiglia: TV shows: Sex in the City and The Sopranos.

Big_Smooth: So that Allison Mack chick is pretty hot. Any one of you guys seen her naked?

Kyle Howard: LOL! What!!??

Milo Ventimiglia: LOL!

Kyle Howard: Only in our dreams!

AOLuser: What's it like to act with Allison Mack?

Milo Ventimiglia: She’s very talented, very professional, and just fun to be around. She's this bright ball of energy, amazing.

Kyle Howard: Definitely the most energetic person I've ever worked with. And always happy.

iloveoppsex: Who do you think the hottest chick in the cast is?

Kyle Howard: I would say it's too hard to choose. All of them are gorgeous!

Milo Ventimiglia: Yeah, agreed! I do kind of have a student-teacher crush on Garcelle Beauvais.

Kyle Howard: Mmmmm...Kyle has to agree!
Kyle Howard: Garcelle is the bomb!

Milo Ventimiglia: She plays Ms. Bradley.

Knobody: How many episodes are there in this season?

Milo Ventimiglia: We've done eight episodes.

sweetgirl: You said that the last episode will be airing in four weeks. Is the show going to return and when?

Kyle Howard: We don't know yet, but....

Milo Ventimiglia: If anybody has any info, please call us and let us know!

babycordy: How does it feel to be on a new show and not know its future, like if it is going to be on next season?

Kyle Howard: It's frustrating because we like the show so much and we'd all like to work on it again.

Milo Ventimiglia: Definitely agreed.

Couch_Potato: How does it feel to have so many fans?

Milo Ventimiglia: How many is so many?!?

dawnabelle: Milo, I was just wondering if you would ever date a fan? I mean if she wasn't all freaking out and whatnot? Would age count?

Milo Ventimiglia: Since I'm 23, I'd like someone near my own age, but it's all about the girl, who she is, in terms of as a person.

Foghorn: What is the craziest thing a fan has done?

Milo Ventimiglia: I don't know...I've never been recognized or anything out in public.

Kyle Howard: I'm trying to think...I can't think of anything.

kirkygal: How have your friends reacted to your fame?

Kyle Howard: Most of my friends are in the business too, so they're pretty used to it.
Kyle Howard: And the friends of mine that aren't have been pretty cool about it.

Milo Ventimiglia: Pretty much the same. I talk to the same people I talked to before the show went on the air, and they treat me the same as they always have.
Milo Ventimiglia: They do keeping asking me if they can go on set though!

Moonfirez: What has public feedback been like for you guys?

Kyle Howard: Mostly it's been good. We've been getting good ratings, and we've heard about some funny emails that FOX has gotten about the show.

ShawnT: What would you guys like to be doing in the future?

Milo Ventimiglia: Working a lot.

Kyle Howard: Most actors say that they really want to direct, but I want to be a ROCK STAR!

Katira: If you weren't acting what would you be doing right now?

Milo Ventimiglia: I do want to direct, I guess I am like most actors.
Milo Ventimiglia: But I don't even know, I probably would have finished up school and gotten a job in corporate America or something.

drivelhead: You can come join my band then, Kyle.

Kyle Howard: Right on!

deej: What do you guys like to do for fun?

Milo Ventimiglia: Spin records.
Milo Ventimiglia: And skateboard.

Kyle Howard: I like to play golf, and play guitar.
Kyle Howard: And go to the beach.

Milo Ventimiglia: Do you enjoy long walks on the beach, Kyle?

Kyle Howard: Absolutely!

Amanda: Kyle, you must look good in a bathing suit!

Kyle Howard: LOL! Um...thanks!

ILuvKyle: I live near the beach in Florida Kyle, do you want to go on a walk with me?

Kyle Howard: By all means!

Berkeley18: Milo certainly enjoyed his walk on the beach tonight!

Milo Ventimiglia: I did! Yeah!

Misotoe: What kind of music do you guys listen to?

Kyle Howard: Sublime, Blink....

Milo Ventimiglia: Older hip-hop, Tribe Called Quest, and a lot of stuff on vinyl that probably nobody's ever heard of.
Milo Ventimiglia: Paul Van Dyk, DJ Jean.

Andy: What kind of skateboard do you have? Trucks? Wheels?

Milo Ventimiglia: I have a Blind Deck with Orion trucks, and Spitfire wheels.

FOX.com Host: We're winding down our chat with Milo and Kyle, so let them know how much you appreciate their being here!

Cutecookie: As stars do you go to many awards shows?

Milo Ventimiglia: I went to my first last night, The FOX Teen Choice Awards.

Kyle Howard: I would say the same.

Cutecookie: What would you like to do on the show just once?

Kyle Howard: I think we should do a bungee-jumping scene, and a skinny-dipping scene!

Milo Ventimiglia: That would be cool!
Milo Ventimiglia: Stay tuned!

harttgirl: What's the best thing the show has done for you?

Kyle Howard: It just gave me three months of a lot of fun working on it.

Milo Ventimiglia: Agreed! Good experience, good people to work with, good memories....
