NBC featured an on-line conference to introduce some of the stars of their new tv shows for the Fall Season during the summer of 1997. Bruce Greenwood was interviewed along with Abraham Benrubi to promote their show Sleepwalkers in a program sponsored by Yahoo. Questions were answered in audio as well as in written transcript and covered topics ranging from the show's premise and Bruce's new film The Sweet Hereafter to the proverbial "Are you married?" and "How do you like playing doctors for the peacock?" Of special interest to Bruce's on-line fans, however, was his newly acquired computer knowledge -- issuing a bouquet of "virtual" flowers to the transcriber at the close of his interview.
A full transcript of Bruce's section follows:

NBCLive presents the speaker with question #64 from Nbconline:
(BRUCE) - Do you like playing the good guy or the bad guy better? Which is more of a challenge? Why? LOWDWN@mail.net
Bruce Greenwood
The bad guys are held to be more interesting, but recently I've been playing good guys with their share of problems and that has turned out to be pretty interesting too.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #66 from Nbconline:
(BRUCE) - Prithee: What makes your new series different from other sci-fi shows?
Bruce Greenwood
The series takes place in your mind. Other sci-fi series take place on other planets. This takes place on that very large planet-that vast landscape of your sub-conscious.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #448 from Collay:
Bruce, you played a doctor on St. Elsewhere several years ago. Do you enjoy playing doctors for the Peacock network? By the way, I'm greatly looking forward to Sleepwalkers.
Bruce Greenwood
I live to play doctors for the peacock network.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #1091 from Pqusd:
How do you feel about your new show Sleepwalkers ?
Bruce Greenwood
I think it has tremendous potential. I am looking forward to seeing the writers really work out what I think is a very different concept.NBCLive presents the speaker with question #1090 from Greenknight0000:
Bruce, will Sleepwalkers "thrill" us like Profiler and Pretender?
Bruce Greenwood
I'm unfamiliar with those shows. I hope it will be different.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #1218 from Munkiee:
Bruce, do you believe that dreams really can be interpreted to mean something?
Bruce Greenwood
Absolutely. There's a long tradition of great minds that believe exactly that. Speak to Dr. Freud or Mr. Jung.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #1280 from Amy1233:
Bruce, you are the most handsome man on television. Are you single? Please say yes! You'll make a lot of women really happy!

If it'll make you happy, yes. However, I'm married!
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #68 from Nbconline:
(BRUCE) - FRIEDCHICK asks: What was the last dream you had about?
Bruce Greenwood
You may find this hard to believe, but a plane that I was flying in turned into a pita bread shell and fell from the sky. Glad you asked.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #69 from Nbconline:
(BRUCE) - Mr. Paul Stevenson of Georgia wants to ask: When will The Sweet Hereafter come out for the Cannes Film Festival? Congratulations on your award!

It's supposed to be released in early October in the states. It's opening the Toronto Film Festival in September.
NBCLive presents the speaker with question #130 from Nbconline:
(DAN) -(GretaB) Did you pick this show or did NBC ask you?
Bruce Greenwood
When all these interviews are over, I think you guys should send a big virtual bouquet to our interpretor, Linda.
