INTERVIEW: MICHAEL IAN BLACK
page 2 of 4

Showalter, Black, and Wain of STELLA

cm: You ever fight with the other two "Stellas"?
mib:
We rarely fight, but we are often passive aggressive, which is just as good.

kp: Which one of you has the shortest temper?
mib:
Sho.

kp: The sweetest disposition?
mib:
David.

kp: The prettiest eyes?
mib:
None of us have pretty eyes. Mine are boring, David has glass eyes, and Showalter's eyes are dead.

kp: The smelliest feet?
mib:
Don't know.

kp: The best taste in music?
mib:
Showalter will say he has the best taste in music, but all he listens to is the Byrds.

kp: Makes the best pie?
mib:
I make the best hair pie.

kp: Makes the best dickfish?
mib:
You can't make dickfish, asshole.

kp: Tells the best stories?
mib:
Rudyard Kipling.

kp: Which was your favorite Stella short film to make?
mib:
They're all kind of equally boring to make, but I liked making the one in the woods with Paul Rudd because I got to use my son in it. He was six months old and had a bad cold, but that didn't stop from us stripping him naked and holding him upside down in forty degree weather. I'm an awesome dad.

kp: Is there a "dildo master" on set?
mib:
Chet is the dildo master. He trained in France with the renowned Dildo Master Claude Genet. We're very, very lucky to have him.

kp: Do you ever have arguments over the scripts, and if so, who wins?
mib:
We don't really argue that much. None of us care enough.

kp: I hear you're a good poker player. What's your game?
mib:
I am a poker player, but I am not a good poker player. My favorite game is seven card stud, but I'll play hi/lo, Hold 'em, Razz, etc.

kp: Have you ever been in a tournament?
mib:
Yes. I've been in many tournaments and I rarely do well. Because I lack what poker players call "heart." It's what other people call "balls." Another way to put it would be to say I'm a pussy.
