From Mallrats to Remember the Titans, actor Ethan Suplee has more than made his cinematic mark during the past few decades. However, with upcoming appearances in Peter Berg’s Deepwater Horizon film (which hits theaters September 30) and Hugh Laurie’s new series Chance (out October 19 on Hulu), he won’t be stopping anytime soon.
Suplee was nice enough to take a few minutes out of his busy schedule recently to answer a few questions from us.

Club soda, and with a twist if it’s going to be a big night.

@juliussharpe on Twitter, because he gets it.

I quit my DVR years ago. Apple TV, Netflix, and Hulu have everything you need.

Burgers from J.G. Melon, Minetta Tavern, and The Corner Bistro, and the right people to argue about which one’s the best.

Angrygotfan.com, Amazon, Art:21, and AaronBader.com.

If this is a day where everyone in my family does what I want to do, I’d take my wife and kids to the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and The Broad, and they would all pretend to enjoy themselves.
