Q: What was it that made you want to become an actor, and what keeps you going everyday?
- Jon, Arkansas

CF: I think the first time I knew I wanted to be an actor was when I watched "Edward Scissorhands". There was something so magical and imaginative about that world, that story, that I wanted to live in it. And that's really still the element that drives me today. I want to affect people in the same inspiring way that great movies have affected me.

Q: What was your favorite scene or storyline to do from The 4400?
- Elizabeth Burgess, Michigan

CF: I'm most interested in my own storyline because I'm living it. So, I'd be betraying myself to say my favorite storyline is anything but Kyle's. My favorite scene to shoot is in an upcoming episode between Joelly Gretsch and I. It's a scene where I have to confess something to him and we deal with our deteriorating relationship. I grew up with a single Dad, so, having to say some of the things I said to a Father who was trying so hard, just broke my heart.

Q: Your face has such a wide range of expression. When you're not acting, which "Kyle" are you most like?
- Julie, Washington

CF: I'm nothing like Kyle Baldwin. We're both outsiders who waiver back and forth between trying to fit in and embracing our "outsiderness." We both care a lot - maybe too much - and we both have some demons chomping at our tails, but other than that (and I just realize now that is a lot), we're quite different.

Q: Do you dress like Kyle does on the show?
- Chelsea, Louisiana

CF: Kyle dresses better than I do. Kyle is pretty much how I would dress if I had people going out and buying clothes for me. As it is, I end up improvising with fewer options. I actually went and bought Kyle's jeans and boots and shoes.

Q: How does your character change during the second season?
- Jeanette Ann Jamison Auno, Drammen, Norway

CF: On a spiritual level, I would say by the end of the season, Kyle becomes a man in that he takes responsibility for himself and his actions. In a way he becomes a man similar to his father, Tom Baldwin - stubborn, focused, and fixed on doing the "right" thing.
