Wizard's The Hot Seat
          This month featuring: Tyler Mane

          Mane: Okay, let's get going with these questions...

          Wizard: Whoa, there Mr. Sabretooth from "X-Men"... calm yourself there.

          Mane: Come on, what ya' got for me?

          W: Okay, hot shot. what's up with you almost breaking that saucy Halle Berry's [Storm's] head during your big fight scene with her in "X-Men"?

          M: I had to wake her up, man. So I smacked her against the glass and then we did the scene... that's the truth... or at least the best you're going to get.

          W: Fair enough... is there anyone else you plan to smack around?

          M: Maybe you... depending on these questions.

          W: Hey, at least I've never worn lifts in my shoes like some girlie-man like you did in the "X-Men" movie!

          M: Yeah, well 6-foot 10 wasn't tall enough for the "X-Men" movie... I needed a little extra. It took me a week to figure out how to walk in those things. I almost twisted my ankles a few times.

          W: So, what's the crasiest thing that happened on the set?

          M: Well, the first day I met James Marsden [Cyclops], he was shooting the scene where he looks down at the kid in the train station. The kid was too tall though, so they made James stand on an apple box. A few days later I left an apple box in his trailer with a note that said, "This is so you can reach your sink."

          W: You guys are wilder than the Rat Pack.

          M: It went from there, man. [stares silently]

          W: [uncomfortable pause] So who's more intense: comic fans or wrestling fans?

          M: Once when I was in wrestling in England, a woman hit me over the head with a purse... I think she had about five brinks in the damn thing.

          W: So, wrestling?

          M: Well, wrestling fans are intese but comic fans know their stuff. You can't get anything by them. A movie like "X-Men" isn't about critics, it's about pleasing the fans. Roger Ebert don't count.

          W: Uh... okay... anyway, now that you're a big-time Hollywood actor, who do you want to work with?

          M: Arnold!

          W: Tom Arnold?

          M: [growls] What? Arnold Schwarenegger.

          W: Think you could take him in a fight?

          M: Tom Arnold?

          W: No, Schwarenegger... try to keep up!

          M: I'd take him in about five seconds.

          W: How about you and me?

          M: Half a second.

          W: It's GO time, baby!
