DENNIS:
Let's talk about your segment titled "SUPERSKIRTZ" for TNN's
"POP ACROSS AMERICA". For those who don't know much about the
show. Can you tell us what your role is in the segment?
MIA:
The show is a traveling talk show and we are a segment of the
show that features hidden camera pranks where me and three other
girls travel to different cities across America. For example,
there was one segment in Washington D.C. titled "PC in
DC?" We wanted to see how politically correct the area
was and so I dressed up in a pregnancy pad and we went to a
local bar where we set up hidden cameras and I started ordering
beer, doing shots and people were doing shots with me and smoking.
We thought that this is a conservative area that people would
come up to me and tell me not to drink or smoke because I was
pregnant but only one person among 50 people told me to not
drink and he was the bartender.
DENNIS:
What was the most provocative thing that you have done on the
show.
MIA: Probably in Chicago where
we did a segment called "naked pizza" and we ordered
pizza all over Chicago. The four of us were watching sports
on television naked.
DENNIS:
Not fully naked right?
MIA: Yes, fully naked.
DENNIS: Ehh?
MIA: Yes,
when the delivery guy came with the pizza, we would say that
we needed to get change, so we would all walk around the room
naked. You see, we wanted to test that male fantasy of arriving
to deliver pizzas with four girls nude who are acting like everything
is normal. We acted like we had clothes on. Most guys would
say, "If that was me I would have tried to get some action."
But we knew that was just all talk and we proved that because
these delivery guys were scared to death. I think they thought
we were aliens from another planet or something.

DENNIS:
Wait a minute. All of you were actually all naked in front
of many of these pizza delivery guys?
MIA:
Yes,
we were totally naked. We were scared.
DENNIS: So, these pizza delivery
guys had the pleasure of seeing you all naked.
MIA: Pleasure? They were not in pleasure. They
were in so much shock. They didn't know what to do. They
were ghostly white. We had to do everything we could to
make them look up.
DENNIS: You know...you do that
in Los Angeles and the guys would definitely give a different
reaction.
MIA:
We
actually tried this first in Los Angeles and got the same
response.
DENNIS:
What did your parents say about this "Chicago Pizza"
segment?
MIA:
My
parents thought it was funny. I have a religious family
and I showed my family and my relatives during Thanksgiving
footage from this segment and they thought it was funny.
Of course, all of our private parts are blocked out on
the footage.

DENNIS:
What is the most embarrasing moment on the show?
MIA: We did a segment called "Bigger
and Better". How people would react to a person with gigantic
boobs. I would have these huge double F's and I would have cakes
in both hands and would ask people if they can pick up my keys.
They would look down but I would motion with my chin that the
keys fell inside my shirt. They would be mortified.
DENNIS:
Did people reach in and get your keys?
MIA:
Some, but most ran away. People were scared.
DENNIS:
So, what projects are you working on right now? Will you be
filming the new season very soon?
MIA:
I'm currently working on two projects. "Pop Across America"
and "Superskirtz". We finished shooting the project
and it's currently airing right now on TNN on Fridays at midnight.
Right now we are shooting a pilot for a television show tentatively
called called "Skirtz".
DENNIS:
You were recently on a movie called "Being Ron Jeremy".
A spoof on "Being John Malkovich". Isn't Ron Jeremy
a porn star?
MIA: Yes. The movie is a spoof
on "Being John Malkovich". It is about a guy who finds
a portal into the mind of Ron Jeremy. And the guy and his co-worker,
who I play, sell tickets so that people can enter the mind of
Ron Jeremy until he farts and spews them out on the side of
the road.
DENNIS:
How was it like to work with Ron Jeremy?
MIA: He is the nicest man and a
professional actor. He has an MBA and is an extremely well educated
man. He was great to work with.
DENNIS:
If there was one actor you would like to work with, who would
that be?
MIA: Probably Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Every movie that I have seen her on, she plays these multi-dimension
characters. She's an amazing actress and I never get tired of
watching her movie "Single White Female". She redefines
herself in every role.
DENNIS:
What is the most satisfying aspect of being an Asian American
actress?
MIA: Expressing myself artistically.
Working in a career field that I have trained very hard to be
a part of.
DENNIS:
What is the most frustrating aspect of being an Asian American
actress?
MIA: You know when you see people
who have to play token roles on television? I feel like we are
at that level that there are not enough roles for me that show
Asian Americans as average American people. You only see our
groups playing hookers, manicurists and very stereotypical roles.
Everyone knows that we have come a long way in that there isn't
anyone who could get away with doing "black face". However MAD
TV gets away with a Caucasian actor doing "yellow face" and
I'm disgusted. I'm even more frustrated that more Asian Americans
aren't standing up and saying that this is not okay! Why be
offended in silence?

DENNIS:
If there was a major movie that wanted you to do the usual
one minute nude prostitute or erotic dancer scene, would
you do it?
MIA: Gratuitous nudity is
not what I choose to do. I'm not saying I would never
do nudity but it would have to make sense to the story
of the script or else it would be pointless and become
a free peepshow.
DENNIS:
Let's talk about your work as a model. You have a very
long list of accomplishments, especially as a hand and
foot model. Not many people know it but for people fortunate
to get that modeling job, it pays extremely well. How
did you get involved with that?
MIA: I Was doing a commercial
as an actress for a washing machine and they needed hand
models. While the girls who were auditioning for the job
showed up on the set, I showed the producer my hands to
see if I could do it. I ended up having the best hands
and got the job. From there it just snowballed because
as you know all the people on the set had done about ten
commercials as a hand model. I went and took pictures
of my hands. My hands had a photo shoot. I submitted them
to an agent and got signed. And that's how I got started
as a hand model in the business. Virtually booking every
job my agent sent me on.

DENNIS:
OK, let's get to know more about Mia Crowe outside acting and
music. If there was one word to describe yourself, what word
would that be and why?
MIA: Tenacious. I'm the girl driven
to reach out her arm and grab for the brass ring. If I want
to accomplish something I will exhaust all avenues to reach
my goal. I don't always exactly reach
my goals, but I'm satisfied that I reached
out as far as I was able to and made the effort to get what
I want. There are a lot of armchair dreamers out there and when
you realize that nobody is going to just "offer" you
exactly what you want and that "luck" is really just preparation
plus opportunity. I believe that the only choice of true action
is to go for it!
DENNIS:
Reading your bio, you seem to be a daring "no fear" type of
person. Are you brave enough to be on the show "FEAR FACTOR"?
MIA: I don't know about that! I
do think of myself as somebody who is daring but I'm very afraid
of heights! And a lot of the stunts on that show have to do
with heights! Also, I don't think I could eat the stuff they
have on the show! Last time I saw it they were making people
drink Margaritas made of bile, bull testicles and one strawberry.
I would throw up for sure!
