I wish to apologise for having the same article posted twice below, regarding season 3 of Ugly Betty in the UK. I'd assumed that because it wasn't on the site when I posted and typed it up, that I had to retype and repost it again. Once again, sorry folks for this.

PLAYBILL.COM INTERVIEW

Have a read of this article which can be found on Playbill.com where journalist Ernio Hernandez interviews/ grills Michael on his favourite show, I-Pod track and even his first kiss! Ooh-la-la!

Playbill.com's Cue and A: Michael Urie

By Ernio Hernandez, 23 June 2009

Michael Urie- Who stars in the off- Broadway play, 'The Tempermentals' fills out Playbill.com's questionaire with random facts, backstage trivia and pop culture tidbits.

Full given name: Michael Lorenzo Urie,

Hometown: Plano, Texas

Audition song: Poisoning Pigeons in The Dark by Tom Lehr

Special skills: Balloon animals. Well just dogs really. And snakes.

First Broadway show ever saw: Ragtime with the original cast, on a trip with my community college I cried like a baby. Our teacher, Brad Baker, got us into 13 shows in 10 days.

If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be?: Vanessa Williams in 'Kiss of the Spiderwoman'; Terrence McNally told me she was hot, people gasped when she entered. I gasp every time she comes on set on Ugly Betty.

Current show you have been reccomending to friends: 'Rock of Ages and 'Our Town'.

Favourite show tune: Bernadette (Peters) singing 'Not a Day Goes By'.

Mac or PC? Mac, Mac, Mac since I was a kid and my dad bought home one of those tall skinny ones.

Most played song on your I-Pod: 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen

Last book you read: 'Wolf at the Table' By Augusten Burroughs. It's great- I read it on vacation in 2 days- and I'm a slow reader.

Must-see TV show: 'Wipeout', 'Lost', 'The Office', 'Always Sunny...', 'Sordid Lives'

Last good movie you saw: 'Henry Fool' starring my genius co-star in 'The Tempermentals', Thomas Jay Ryan

Favourite card game: Van Heusen. A genius card game invented by my friends, Nicole Lowrence and Matt Schenck (who's also in 'The Tempermentals)....

.... First stage kiss: (Barry) Manilow. Just kidding! Jessica Lee/Janelle Lyon (we had alternating Marias) in 'The Sound of Music' in 10th grade. I was the Captain Von Trapp.

.... Worst flubbed line: At Julliard,  I played Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet; during the first big fight between the Montagues and the Capulets, Benvolio runs on to stop the fight, shouting: 'Part fools, you know not what you do!'. Well, on opening night, I ran out and shouted: 'Fart pools, you know not what you do!'.

.... Worst costume ever: When I had to dress up like Betty for the Halloween episode of Ugly Betty (season 1 episode, 'The Lyin, The Watch and the Wardrobe'). Itchy wig and poncho.

.... Favourite junk food: gummi bears (here in the uk, for instance, they are types of sweets)

Who would play you in a movie: Phylicia Rashad (aka Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show- Waiching)

Worst job you ever had: Bowling party host at Plano Superbowl....

....Leading man role you've been dying to play: Berowne in 'Love Labour's Lost'

Which Broadway musical would your 'Ugly Betty Character be perfect for? Marc St James as Franz in 'Rock of Ages'. 'I'm not gay, I'm German!'
