Kneel Before Your Prince! Posts: 4,309 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: April 16, 2006	Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Shavon Kirksey, whom you all may know is playing the character of Emi in the upcoming live action Dragonball movie. I asked her a few questions about her character and her experiences on the movie. Here's a quick snippet: LAA: How did you get involved with Dragonball? Was there an audition process or were you called in? Shavon: Yes, I got a call from my agency telling me to check my email because I have an audition for the Dragonball live action movie. So first I read on tape with the casting director, John Papsidera, then went to callbacks. The very next day my agent and manager called me telling me I booked it and that I am leaving for Mexico soon! I was so excited!! This is my first role in a film and I got to film out of the country! How fun is that? LAA: Sounds like a lot! In the movie you play a character named Emi. Fans have been curious about this character as she is new to the Dragonball universe. What can you tell us about her role in the film and about her character in general? Shavon: Well, my character was made up for the film. Emi and Chi Chi are best friends in the movie. We are the “it” girls on our high school campus, and we only like to hang out with other popular kids and the football players, so we can maintain our popular image. Everyone wants to be in our circle but emi wont allow it unless she thinks your cool enough [laughs]. But emi is a cool down to earth girl and she’s very smart, but she just wants everyone to see her as the perfect popular girl. To read the entire interview CLICK HERE!

Heather, what's a rubber? Posts: 3,058 Group: Global Moderator Member #22 Joined: April 16, 2006	She seems nice and down-to-earth! I still find it off Chi-Chi and her gang are th "popular" peeps. o.O We'll have to wait until the movie to see how influential that is upon how our main characters' personas evolve.

Kirksey seems like a pretty nice person, although I am a bit concerned with how her character and Chi-Chi act. But she did say they were only in mexico for a couple of weeks, so it would seem that a lot of people were right in guessing that the high school part is pretty short. We'll just have to wait and see.
