Answers:
Brian, don't be so hard on yourself! You didn't know he was American!. It was an honest question and I don't think he was offended at all!. He just asked you to email him that's all!. You're a good person! Don't be too hard on yourself!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

From what you've said if he was offended he had no reason to be!. The only thing I can think of is that he took it the wrong way and thought that you were somehow implying that he isn't an American citizen because he's from another country!. If he took offence to a simple question like that then he's not worth bothering about!. You didn't do anything to screw up, he just seems to be a bit touchy!. Lots of celebrities are like that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You should have asked him about his ethnic background!. You may have offended him, but I am sure it is not the first time it has happened to him!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well you their is American Indian! I don't think you offended him!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

maybe he did get offended but its not like you tried ya know!? Www@Enter-QA@Com

it was an honest mistake!.!.!. so IDTSWww@Enter-QA@Com

Yes, what did you expect!?

Your question assumed he was from another country!.

Your worldview isn't big enough!. Look around you, America is changing!. The immigration laws are ignored and attacked in the courts!. Many people that came here during the open days of the 1980's immigration reform now have grown children!. They also seek the American dream as many Whites have done!.

Many cities have welcomed illegal aliens and are officially given them sanctuary!. Where I live, White people once a majority are fast approaching a minority status and I live in a city of nearly 1 million!. My state is trending that way too!.

Most people welcome questions where they are from so, that was a good icebreaker but you phrased it in a leading way like you already assumed where the person was from India!. That is a big turn off!.

Try not to assume anything!. Celebs love talking about themselves, so get them to open up to things they already are involved with, like their movie, book or CD!. You might include what you love about their works!. From there, you can ask about their influences, who they now look up to and that will give you a clue to their background so you can ask more personal questions!.

Most celebs have dealt with bad interviews so are quickly annoyed when something goes wrong with the first few questions!. You could practice this by studying how other interviews are run on TV!. I'm in the media, so do see a lot of them!.

Finally, remember that they are human too and most don't like the aggressive superfan that claws their way to see them and wants to dominate their time!. Be cool!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
