Chris Pine on Looking Like Rachel from Friends, Working with Danny DeVito and Dungeons & Dragons

Chris talks about growing grapes to make wine at his house, the premiere for his new movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Friends, trimming his beard, his publicist telling him his hair was starting to look like Rachel from Friends, working with Danny DeVito on his movie The Poolman, Danny writing his own monologue in the script, and we play a game to see if Chris can determine which of our staff members is a Dungeon Master.

Funny thing is I remember in the late 90s it was already becoming kosher in college. Granted, I was attending what was tantamount to a community college for people who failed out of universities, so I guess majority of folks were already kinda sorta losers.

Despite being a nerd myself, I didn’t start playing until a few years ago. I’m now part of multiple campaigns and consistently play at least weekly, so I’m definitely excited about dnd drawing a larger audience.
