The following are questions I've received from fans. If you have one that isn't listed here, E-mail me!
1) Does Jeremy have any children?
Nope, he doesn't have any children yet.
2) Is he making any public appearances?
I talked to the guy who books Jeremy's public appearances, and he said that J would like to get back into doing them but he has been very busy with his financial business in L.A. (which I already knew) So I'm still in the process of looking into that one. If I find anything out I'll let you know!
3) Have you missed acting, and if so are you actively searching for roles?
Although I still maintain and run my investment advisory business, I have begun to audition for roles once again, and hopefully you'll see me back on the screen shortly!
4) Being on the Hogan Family as a teenager, I've seen many sites who
classify you as a "teen idol". How does that make you feel and how did you
respond to the publicity?
People associate success in the industry with fame and fortune. Although the
financial aspects of working consistently on a television show were
wonderful, the "fame" aspect was something that I would have preferred to
live without. There is a tremendous responsibility that I felt towards my
fans, as well as appreciation that my work was enjoyed. As for being a "teen
idol", it certainly had both advantages and disadvantages. My privacy was
often threatened, and I had a difficult time going places "in cognito" on the
downside, but the true appreciation of the fans was well worth the
recognition.
5) Do you have an address where fans can write?
Sure. I'll respond to mail sent to:
Jeremy Licht
10061 Riverside Drive #250
Toluca Lake, CA 91602
6) Do you keep in touch with the cast of The Hogan Family?
I often speak with Danny (Willie) Ponce, and have kept in touch with Jason
(David) Bateman and Josh (Michael) Taylor as well as Steve (Burt) Witting.
It's like family. We may not speak for a while, but are always there for
each other.
7) Growing up in television and films you have to learn to adapt to a new
schedule. What kind of changes were made so you could be "normal" and still
act?
The most difficult part of being a teen actor is having to juggle both work
and school. The school on the set was very focused, and I ended up with an
exceptional education. The balance between the two was very carefully
orchestrated so that I could go to college after the show.
8) Would you encourage or discourage one of your own children from going
into show business?
I would suggest that anyone pursues their passion.
9) What is the funniest or most embarassing thing you had to do in an
acting role?
I had to do a love scene in a television show where it was fairly passionate.
Although the scene looked wonderful, the entire sequence was carefully
choreographed much like a dance. It's not easy to portray lust with 30 people
in the room.
10) Who did you prefer working with more--Valerie Harper or Sandy Duncan. Who
was nicer?
They were both great to work with, albeit with very different acting
styles. Neither was nicer than the other, they were both truly lovely and
professional actors.
11) Are you making any public appearances?
Not at the moment, but I would be open to entertaining any offers.
12) On the episode where he got stuck in the chimny...did he climb up and sit on the other side, and talk downward? How was that done?
I was perched
just above the "chimney" screaming down below. The "chimney" effect ended
just out of site and had a ladder that I was able to climb up two steps and
sit. Great illusion, ah the magic of Hollywood...
13) Did you have a girlfriend while on the set of the Hogan Family?
On and off, yes. If this is asking if I was ever dating Josie Bissett, the
girl who played my girlfriend, Cara, for a couple of years, no we never dated.
14) Were you on Circus of the Stars one time?
Was never on Circus.
15) Do you feel the show allowed you to act at your full potential?
Although they certainly opened up the range of Mark, most of the acting that I had done prior to Hogans was very dramatic, and I truly missed the more challenging roles. Although I don't regret a moment of working on the show, I had a difficult time obtaining more challenging roles after the show was canceled. So, yes and no. It's difficult to work to your full potential in that business, because rarely is your true potential challenged.
