Recently, The Crimson participated in a conference call with Lance Bass and Joey Fatone to talk about their new movie, On the Line.

Q: On the Line is being built up as the N’Sync movie. How do you feel about that?

Joey Fatone: Nope! It’s not an N’Sync movie. It’s a Lance Bass-Joey Fatone movie.

Q: Lance, how do you identify with your character Kevin in On the Line?

Lance Bass: In a way, I’m like Kevin—a kind of hopeless romantic. But I think that’s where it ends. I’d say we differ in the lengths that we would go to find a girl again. If I lost someone it’s “oh well, that’s it.”

Q: What was the transition from stage to screen like?

JF: It’s pretty interesting. As far as being on stage, you’re always touring around a lot. When you’re making movies, every tiny slight move you make gets picked up on-screen. So when you’re on-stage, you’re doing a lot bigger, dramatic motions.

Q: Lance, do you ever think your acting career could become such that your music career will take a back seat to it?

LB: Oh no, never.

JF: Yeah, he’s pretty bad at acting.

LB: Shut up! I consider myself an entertainer—music, acting, everything. But definitely my foremost love is music, and it will definitely never be in the back seat. It might seem like that now, but I’m always thinking about N’Sync and what we’re going to be doing next. But I’ll still do other projects in the film industry.
