Are you reading anything at the moment or have you read anything good lately that you would recommend to others?

Have you been able to see James Purefoy's new series "The Philanthropist"?
Critics like Matt Roush and many long time fans seem to have fallen in love with Owen, do you ever read the reviews of your work or do you not worry about what the critics say?
What have you learned the most as an actor from working with Sandra Oh?
Are there any songs you listen to that get you going before filming a scene?
Who's a bigger celebrity in Scotland, you or Susan Boyle?
I've read some reviews who compare to Frankie in 16 Years of Alcohol to Alex in Clockwork Orange mostly because of the references, I think that's too easy. I'd argue he's an anti-Alex because of his quest to change, and the fact that he has remorse. What are your thoughts?
Which one of your characters past or present could you picture yourself having a pint with?

Do you feel that working on Grey's has had an impact on your life yet, in a professional sense - for example, are you finding that more scripts are landing in your lap?
And on a personal level, from an outsider's perspective life in LA (as shown in the media) seems to be a little crazy. How do you manage to avoid the hoopla and the paparazzi that seem to so often follow celebrities?

It was recently announced that Chandra Wilson will be directing one of the season 6 episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Do you have any aspirations to direct or write, for that matter (not necessarily an episode of Grey's, but in general)? Or are you happier being in front of the camera?

Is there a character from a book you've would like to play the role in a particular way?
If not, what kind of character (probably tortured and with a lot of troubles, I guess) would you like to play? With a trade in particular?
What kind of musical would you like to play in order to show your abilities in singing and dancing?

Apologies if this is a silly question but I am mostly clueless (and curious) when it comes to behind the scenes stuff:
Do guest stars sit in on the GA table reads, or is it just regular cast? And do you table read with a scottish or american accent? Owen Hunt as a Scot - I'd like to hear that.

;D (I know that when he's not playing Owen, he talks with the cast in Scottish English, but it'd be interesting to know from him something behind the scenes. It was interesting to know that dressed by Owen, he used the beds between a scene and another! So we hope that he'll add something in particular) - Are Patrick and Sandra the actors you are talking most, or do you have related very well with someone else in particular?

I was really excited to hear Debra Mooney is playing Owen's mom, but many like myself thought the reunion scene was too short. I can't help but wonder was it edited for time? I'm looking forward to seeing you in more scenes with her, she is one of my favorite 'character' actresses.
Have you had fish and chips at Mr. Pickwick's in Vancouver on Denman St.? If not, I highly recommend it, esp if you get homesick for UK style. There's also Japadog, if you were ever curious what daikon, seaweed and wasabi mustard tastes like on a hot dog.

You've previously told us which character from all of your productions is your favourite, but which do you feel you've connected the most with? And which character do you feel you connected with the least?
How do you maintain emotion and stay in that headspace through multiple takes and how easy is it to leave your work at work after a day of doing scenes like the shower scene in Grey's Anatomy or Niobe's death in Rome (for example), which I can only imagine would be incredibly draining?

This might be pretty silly but here goes.
Kevin,
When you did an interview with Jay Leno in 2007 you commented that your dialect coach was on you a lot. Especially late at night.
Quote: "She hits me over the head with a mallet and makes me drink coffee."
LOL. So my question: Do you drink coffee, tea or something else entirely for a boost when your energy is flagging?

Nice one, Rural.
I am keeping a list of all of the questions for Kevin so that Leanne will have them all in one place when it comes time to choose some.
So keep them coming, we're building up some good ones.

I got a question via our YT page
She is a huge Rome fan ...
My question to him is Did you like starring in ROME? and How did you prepare for the role?

I'm very happy that you'll play in the Rome Movie as Lucius Vorenus. If in the future Kevin Falls calls you for a Journeyman Movie, you'll accept to be again our loved Dan Vasser? Now there are more people interested to see more about Dan, Zack and what in interview you said Kevin Falls told you.
"Kevin Falls told me ... that each episode was a procedural story where [my character, Dan Vassar] would help that person and get them back on track. All those people that he helps ... have to be in that position that Dan gets them into for his son. It's not about Dan. This is about Zack, Dan's son, who has some kind of special power. Whatever it is that's controlling this needs all of these people to be in a certain position or alignment for Zack, [so that] when he comes of age, his power erupts ... It was all about getting his son to the place that these people could help him achieve this power and help the world."

Perhaps this question has already been asked, I don't know... but:
What are his 2 or 3 favorite movies (to have a glimpse of his taste...) And in general what kind of movies he likes to watch : horror ? action? ....

What is the title of the song you played in the webisode? Did you choose the song for the webisode? Is it a song you knew from before or did you have to learn it for the webisode? When is your CD coming out? ;D

Did you miss our chat with Kevin last week? Or did you make the chat but didn't manage to have all your questions answered?
From time to time, Kevin graciously does Q&As for us so if there's anything you would like to ask, don't forget to jot it down in here. I will add your questions to my list and when the right time rolls around, we'll choose ten or so and forward them to Kev.

Hey Kaz,
I have a question, but I'm not sure he'd be able to answer this one:
on Grey, are we actually be able to see the trauma training of the SGH staff?
